New Roof June 26-27, 2009.

Even though the house is only about ten years old the roof was failing (leaking in several areas, loose shingles etc.) Turns out the guy who built the house used inferior shingles and installed them badly. Here is a picture taken through the hatch in the office closet showing the ridge vent on the left side of the house after the old shingles were stripped off.

Also, there is nowhere near enough insulation up in the attic. This will be taken care of later this fall.

Here shingles and ice shield are delivered. Frank is on left supervising. A worker is on the right.


These guys did a great job. Fast, accurate, and very neat. Shown here stripping off old shingles from the front of the roof.

Stripping shingles from the front. The back was o.k. so was gone over with one layer instead of stripped.

A particularly bad area over the two bathrooms was stripped. Area around this light tube was leaking badly.

Back, finished. Also Frank mowed the lawn so everything looks pretty good!

Front, finished. Looks really good! I'm very pleased with it.
