Assessing the Damage
When our crew arrived at the home on Hawley Drive in Salem, VA, they found a combination of old shingles and visible damage from the fallen tree. Once the old roofing materials were removed, the underlying plank decking was exposed, revealing several compromised boards that needed to be replaced.
Repairing the Roof Deck
Our team replaced the damaged planks, focusing on areas near the chimney where leaks had previously occurred. Working from both the roof surface and inside the attic, the crew ensured that every board was solid and sealed. Once the structure was restored, we added new RhinoRoof synthetic underlayment and Rhino Ice & Water Shield to create a watertight barrier beneath the shingles.
Installing Owens Corning Onyx Black Shingles
For this project, the homeowner chose Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Architectural Shingles in Onyx Black. This color complements the home’s red brick exterior while providing strong durability against wind and weather. The crew also installed ProEdge AR hip and ridge caps, VentSure ridge vent, and new aluminum drip edge for a clean, finished look.
The Finished Roof
The result is a sturdy, beautiful new roof that will protect this home for decades. What started as an urgent repair turned into a long-term investment in safety, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. The combination of quality materials and skilled craftsmanship ensures this Salem homeowner won’t have to worry about their roof for years to come.
