Reroofing Owens Corning Duration Shingles in Fountain City. This is a project that is in fountain city Tennessee. The shingles are possibly 30 years old on this home. And there are some major issues with the front railing on a low slope porch. The roof and gutters are very much in need to be a replacement in this home. So we will look forward to reroofing this project hopefully.
These Gutters will probably need to be replaced when the roof is redone

Roof Railing is Rotten
- 1This fainting porch would need a membrane roof
This fainting porch would need a membrane roof probably an EPDM Rubber roof. The low portion of this flat roof Would need a membrane. There’s a small gable coming off that we could use singles for and we agree with our customer this will look better.
Look Similar to this:
Go To Pin - 2Proposed Aluminum Railing
We are suggesting removing this old wood and stucco railing from the roof and adding back aluminum railing here. This would be 36 inches high it’s approximately the same height look very attractive and comes in white and black. This roofing feature on the front of this home is one that I would like to see kept.

- 2Chimney Cap Needs to be Replaced
This chimney cap is rusted and 30 years old plus. It is going to need to be replaced as the chimney is being repaired. Our recommendation is to remove this Chimney when we are reroofing so that there’s no need to restock oh repaint and add a new chimney cap on.

Because this is a gas chimney, It would be easy to bring a double wall pipe through the roof and flash to this. That would look something like the pipe shown here. No maintenance is required for easy assembly.
