Litespeed Construction inspected this old dimensional roof. The roof has some issues like nail pops and leaks. The homeowner let us know that they have had leaks in the front porch. The front porch has almost no pitch to it so it makes it easy for water to get through. Upon installing the new roof we will install ice and water shield along the whole porch to protect it from any water.
Beautiful Finished Project
- 1New Everything
On this roof we installed Certainteed Landmark shingles. The home owner wanted a light gray color so we used Cobblestone Gray. Along with the shingles we also installed synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter shingles, pipe boots and ridge vent.
Go To Pin - 2Upgraded Gutters
Along with the roof we also installed new gutters. We went from 5 inch gutters to 6 inch gutters. The bigger gutters will help a lot during the heavy downpours.

During Construction
- 1Underlying Components Are Important
This roof was torn down to the wood. After the tear off we made sure to lay down synthetic underlayment across the whole roof. The front porch does not have much pitch so we laid down ice and water shield across it to give it extra protection from water.
