What went into this roof replacement
How Craftsman Roofing solved this homeowner's problem
This Tuscaloosa homeowner reached out after a spring storm tore shingles off the front slope and exposed the underlayment to rain. Water stains were already showing on the living room ceiling, and the existing roof -- over 20 years old -- had been showing its age for a while.
During the inspection, our crew documented cracked and curling shingles across multiple slopes, worn flashing around the chimney, and inadequate ventilation in the attic. Rather than patch individual trouble spots on a roof that was past its useful life, we recommended a full tear-off and replacement.
We stripped the old shingles down to the decking, replaced a few soft spots in the plywood, and installed GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Charcoal with a synthetic underlayment, new aluminum drip edge, and a continuous ridge vent to improve airflow. The chimney flashing was rebuilt with step flashing and counter-flashing to stop the recurring leak at that junction.
The crew finished in two days. The homeowner told us the curb appeal improvement alone made the project worth it -- and they had peace of mind knowing the roof was protected by both our 2-year workmanship warranty and GAF's manufacturer coverage.
