Roof Replacement for a Historic Home near Charleston, WV

The Cenvar Roofing team from our Huntington, WV, branch provided an estimate for a complete roof replacement on a beautiful, historic-style stone home in the Charleston, WV area. The home's unique features, including a steep roof pitch and stone chimneys, presented a rewarding challenge for our crew to ensure a thorough, long-lasting installation.

The Roofing Challenge

The existing roof, featuring older 3-tab style shingles , was ready for an upgrade to modern, high-performance materials. The estimate was tailored to the home’s specific architectural elements:

• Steep Pitch: The roof has a steep pitch, ranging from 9/12 to 15/12, which requires specialized labor and safety protocols.

• Chimney Work: The project requires careful new flashing around two chimneys made of stone .

• Structural Details: The roof includes four dormers and a porch area.

• Limited Access: The crew was made aware that access is limited on three sides of the home, requiring careful staging and project planning.

• Pipe Penetration: The scope of work includes replacing a 1.5-inch cast iron pipe boot with a select-a-size plumbing boot and repair ring.

High-Performance Materials for Lasting Protection

To ensure the new roof provides maximum longevity and durability, our estimate specified top-tier Owens Corning products for all layers of the roofing system:
