Wind-Resistant Roof Replacement & Shed Update on Poppy Trail

Location: Poppy Trail, Hillsville, VA 24343 Service Provided: Shingle Roof Replacement Branch: New River Valley, VA

Project Story

Wind damage is a common enemy of aging roofs in the mountains of Virginia. For this homeowner on Poppy Trail, the signs were obvious: at 20–25 years old, the existing shingles had become brittle and were periodically blowing off the roof. To make matters worse, a water stain had appeared in the back corner of the home, indicating that the compromised shingles were letting moisture in.‍The homeowner couldn't be present for the initial inspection, but that didn't stop our New River Valley team from conducting a full assessment. We coordinated via phone upon arrival, inspected the damage, and proposed a solution specifically designed to stop the blow-offs for good.‍

Key Upgrades & Materials

To combat the wind issues, we installed a roofing system renowned for its grip and durability.‍The project specifications included:

  • High-Wind Protection: We installed Tamko Titan XT Architectural Shingles in the color Virginia Slate. These shingles feature distinct "AnchorLock" technology and aggressive sealants, making them one of the best choices for homeowners tired of chasing shingles around their yard after a storm.
  • Full Property Coverage: The project scope included not just the main house, but also the matching outbuilding/shed, ensuring the entire property has a unified look and equal protection.
  • Decking Repairs: We arrived prepared with CDX Plywood to replace damaged decking where the leaks had occurred, ensuring the new shingles were nailed into solid wood.
  • Ventilation: We installed Cenguard Ridge Vents to ensure consistent airflow, which is critical for preventing shingles from becoming brittle prematurely due to attic heat.

Remote Communication, Local Service

We understand that life is busy. Even though the homeowner was unable to meet us on-site for the initial appointment, we were able to provide a detailed digital inspection and get the project moving. We replaced the roof and the shed, cleaned up the site, and left the homeowner with a watertight guarantee—all without disrupting their schedule.‍

Are your shingles blowing off?

If you are finding shingles in your yard after a storm, your roof's sealant strips have likely failed. Upgrade to a system designed to hold fast in high winds.
