A Big, Steep 10-Facet Roof on Catamaran Court in Forest, VA

Some roofs are a quick afternoon job. This one was not. This project on Catamaran Court in Forest, Virginia covered 42 squares across 10 separate facets on a steep 10/12 pitch — a large, cut-up roof that rewards careful, methodical work and punishes shortcuts. It is exactly the kind of substantial replacement our Lynchburg roofing team handles, and a great example of doing a complex roof right.

Why This Roof Was a Real Project

Three things made this a demanding job: size, slope, and complexity. At 42 squares it is roughly double a typical suburban roof. The 10/12 pitch is steep enough to require dedicated steep-roof labor and fall protection throughout. And with 10 facets feeding 68 linear feet of valleys and 158 feet of hips, there are dozens of intersections where water concentrates and where flashing precision is the difference between a roof that lasts and one that leaks. The plan started with a complete tear-off down to a clean deck — the only honest way to begin a shingle roof replacement of this scale.

The Cenguard Gold System, Layer by Layer

The homeowner selected our Cenguard Gold package in TAMKO Titan XT architectural shingles, color Rustic Black — a 50-year-rated dimensional shingle. On a roof this complex, the layered Gold protection earns its keep:

• Cenguard Ice & Water Shield through all 68 feet of valleys, along the eaves, at every pitch change, and around all penetrations.
• Cenguard Synthetic Underlayment across the remaining deck for a full secondary moisture barrier.
• Color-matched hip and ridge cap across the long runs of hips and ridges, with product-specific starter strip at the eaves and rakes.
• Black aluminum drip edge at all eaves and up the rakes to complement the Rustic Black shingle.
• Two lifetime plumbing boots and complete flashing replacement, including counter flashing cut into any masonry.

A New Velux Skylight, Done Right

Rather than re-flash around an aging skylight — always a leak risk — the project included a brand-new Velux C04 deck-mounted skylight with a fresh flashing kit and a white solar-powered room-darkening blind. Installed fresh into the new roof system, it integrates cleanly with the surrounding shingles and carries Velux's 10-year leak-free warranty.

Ventilation and a Warranty That Travels

To keep the new roof breathing, the crew installed roughly 69 feet of Cenguard ridge vent across the ridges, pairing with the existing intake to move hot, moist attic air out before it can shorten shingle life. The finished roof carries the 25-year Cenguard Gold warranty, covering both workmanship and material defects and transferable if the home sells within five years — a real resale asset. As always, this was a no money down job: nothing due until the roof was installed to spec, the site was clean, and the homeowner was satisfied, all backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Service Finance financing is available for those who prefer to spread the cost.
