Project Case Study: Beating the Leak

‍The absolute best time to replace a roof is before it starts leaking into your living room. Recently, a homeowner in Beckley, WV, reached out to our team after noticing some shingles had blown off their roof a couple of days prior. Because their 2-story home had a roof that was approximately 22 years old, they knew it had reached the end of its lifespan and wisely decided to stick with a traditional asphalt shingle replacement rather than waiting for water damage to occur.

Because this is a 2-story property, getting a comprehensive view of the entire roofing system can be challenging. To provide the safest and most accurate assessment possible, our team utilized high-resolution drone photography to capture detailed aerial images of the roof's condition. This technology allows us to inspect steep slopes, ridges, and vulnerable flashing areas without putting unnecessary foot traffic on old, brittle shingles.‍

Why Proactive Replacement Saves You Money

When shingles blow off a 22-year-old roof, the exposed underlayment and wood decking are suddenly defenseless against the next rainstorm. By acting immediately, this homeowner avoided the costly interior drywall repairs, mold remediation, and structural wood rot that typically follow an active roof leak.

After reviewing our drone assessment and comprehensive proposal, the homeowner confidently signed the agreement to move forward with a full tear-off and replacement.

The Cenguard Gold Upgrade

We don't just replace shingles; we build robust roofing systems designed to withstand harsh West Virginia weather. For this project, the homeowner chose our premium Cenguard Gold Roof Package, which includes an ironclad 25-year workmanship warranty.

To ensure this Beckley home is protected for decades, the materials list included:

• High-Wind Shingles: We are installing TAMKO Titan XT Architectural Shingles in the rich, dimensional color Black Walnut.
• Advanced Waterproofing: The proposal includes stripping the roof to a clean deck and installing Cenguard Ice & Water Shield along the vulnerable eaves and valleys, paired with Cenguard Synthetic Underlayment across the remaining roof deck.
• Complete System Accessories: The perimeter will be secured with Cenguard Starter Strips and clean White Aluminum Drip Edge.
• Ventilation & Penetration Defense: We will install new Cenguard Ridge Vents to optimize attic airflow, and replace the old, failure-prone pipe collars with two new Lifetime Plumbing Boots to guarantee a permanent seal.‍
