Cenvar Roofing's commitment to finding the right solution for every homeowner often means performing targeted repairs and upgrades rather than a full replacement. We recently provided a detailed repair proposal for a homeowner to address minor shingle issues and significantly boost attic ventilation.
The Scope: Repair and Ventilation
The homeowner noted that shingles on both the front and back of the roof were buckled or lifted, creating a potential risk for future leaks. To address these issues and improve the overall health of the roof system, the proposed work included:
- Repair Work: Replacing some areas on the roof where shingles are lifted. The color of the new material will be matched as closely as possible, using the Driftwood color where available, though a color difference with the existing material is likely.
- Leak Watch: Although the homeowner was not 100% sure about an active leak, the lifted shingles indicated a need for repair. The proposal included a standard disclaimer that wood repair for any rotten wood caused by existing leaks would be charged at a rate of $100.00 per sheet of OSB or $8.00 per plank board linear foot.
- New Solar Fan: Installing a new solar power fan on the back left section of the roof. This fan has a 5-year warranty for mechanical defects.
- Bathroom Vents: Cutting out and installing two 4-inch Broan vents over the bathrooms. These vents are located on the right side on the back of the house.
The Agreement Grand Total for this scope of work was set at $1,100.00.
Why Ventilation Matters
Proper attic ventilation is crucial for the longevity of a roof system, preventing heat and moisture buildup that can lead to wood rot, mold, and premature shingle deterioration. By adding a solar-powered attic fan and installing new bath vents, the homeowner is making a smart investment in their home's long-term health.
This type of targeted repair and ventilation upgrade demonstrates the versatility and commitment to comprehensive service that Cenvar Roofing provides to the communities we serve, including the Johnstown, PA / Altoona, PA area.
