Wind Damage Roof Replacement with Chimney Removal in Martinsburg, WV

Service Provided: Shingle Roof Replacement (House + Detached Garage) with Chimney Removal & EPDM Ridge Repair | Branch: Martinsburg, WV (serving homeowners across West Virginia)

Project Case Study: Shingles Blowing Off, Two Chimneys Coming Down

A Princeton, WV homeowner contacted Cenvar after watching shingles peel off the roof of a 2-story home in high winds — a problem that's already past the "patch and monitor" point once you're actively losing pieces. The home also had two old chimneys that hadn't been used in years, a rusted cap at the peak of the main house, and a detached garage that needed its roof redone alongside the main house. The lead center booked the call on April 16, 2026, and an estimator scoped the full project. While this specific project took place in Princeton, WV, the scope — wind damage plus multi-structure replacement plus chimney removal — is representative of the kind of work our Martinsburg, WV team handles across the state for West Virginia homeowners.

Why Shingles Start Blowing Off (and Why It Rarely Stops at Just a Few)

Modern architectural shingles rely on a heat-activated seal strip to bond each shingle to the one below. Over time, UV exposure, thermal cycling, and simple age cause that seal to weaken and release. Once wind gets under a few shingles on an aging roof, the uplift tends to spread — the newly exposed tabs flex more in every gust, their seals deteriorate faster, and the failure pattern compounds. Our write-up on wind damage walks through what to look for and when spot repairs stop making sense.

Unused chimneys are a parallel issue. Old chimneys are among the most common leak sources on a roof — masonry deteriorates, flashing ages faster than the surrounding shingles, and every re-roof is another chance for an imperfect seal. If a chimney is no longer in use, removing it down to below the roof deck and sealing the opening eliminates an entire category of future leaks.

The Cenvar Solution: 22.66 Squares, Two Chimney Removals, and an EPDM Ridge

The house and detached garage scoped out at 22.66 squares across 13 facets — a steep 10/12 pitch, 71 linear feet of ridges, 114 linear feet of hips, 30 linear feet of valleys, and 293 linear feet of eaves. Scope included:

  • Full tear-off of existing shingles on house and detached garage
  • Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration or TAMKO Titan XT architectural shingles
  • Cenguard Ice & Water Shield at all eaves, valleys, pitch changes, flashed areas, and around all penetrations
  • Synthetic underlayment across remaining areas
  • White metal drip edge on all eaves and rakes
  • Ridge vent on all ridges, plus 1 new roof-mounted turbine vent
  • All new pipe boots, air vents, step flashing, and counter flashing around the remaining chimney
  • Chimney removal: both existing chimneys taken down to below the roof deck, openings covered, and waterproofed into the new roof system
  • EPDM rubber roofing installed in place of the rusted peak cap on the main house — a longer-lasting solution for the ridge detail than traditional cap shingles in a high-wind area

Priced at three package tiers: Silver $13,260, Gold $14,830, Platinum $16,400 — plus $700 for chimney removal. Total for the selected Gold package: $15,530.

Every package comes with no money down, Cenvar's 100% satisfaction guarantee, and a Cenguard workmanship warranty scaled to the package selected. (Note: The Cenguard warranty applies to the shingle portion of the roof; the EPDM ridge repair carries a separate 10-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty.)
