New Roof - July 12-13, 2022


Shingles arrive the morning of Wednesday, July 12th

Dumpster and new materials block the driveway so park in the street

Workers busy stripping off the old shingles since 6:45am

Back of the house is the last to cleared off as of 8:35am

Bright sunny day as the gear on the ground starts to go up on the roof

Had to wait a week as we had our first rain in awhile last week

With the old roof cleared and old decking replaced, underlayment gets underway starting from the garage at 10:30am

Potted plants are covered up and hopefully protected from debris

Better to drop it to the right where there's no landscaping to worry about

What a mess to be cleared up within the next 8 hours

Underlayment helps prevent wind-driven rain from infiltrating the roof

Workers use foam rubber pads to insulate clothing from hot shingles

Bushes do survive being covered up and hit by occasional shingle

New porch matched the old shingles so can't pick a new shingle pattern

Couple boards replaced as the back is readied for underlayment

Fascia boards being replaced above the garage entrance

Underlayment is going strong as of 1pm in the afternoon

Fascia boards being replaced above the front entry room windows

South side of the house is ready for shingles to be applied

North side of the house is as well with some pipe support requested

Fascia boards being replaced above the master bedroom

Back of house ready for shingles with February porch addition already done

GAF Shingles are well underway as of 5pm

Crew winding down at 8pm and will have to return tomorrow to finish

Most of the debris has been cleared and equipment stowed

Chimney, garage entry and back door entry boards also to be replaced

Workers find a stopping point as the sun starts to set at 8:30pm

Starting before 7am and pretty much done in the back by 10:30am

Workers finishing adding the hip and ridge cap shingles to the top edges

Final touches are completed at 11:45am
