We recently completed a roof replacement in Penfield, NY where the home had two layers of aging shingles. Multiple layers can add unnecessary weight, reduce ventilation efficiency, and hide potential decking issues. The best solution was a full tear-off down to the roof deck.
After carefully removing both layers, we inspected the decking to ensure everything was structurally sound before installing the new roofing system.
Our Installation Process
✔ Full Two-Layer Tear-Off
We removed both existing layers of shingles to eliminate excess weight and ensure proper installation of the new roof.
✔ Ice & Water Shield Protection
Ice and water shield was installed along the eaves to guard against ice dams and water intrusion—critical for homes in the Rochester area.
✔ Premium Synthetic Underlayment
We applied premium synthetic underlayment across the roof deck for enhanced moisture protection and long-term durability.
✔ Williamsburg Grey Architectural Shingles
The homeowner selected Williamsburg Grey, a classic and versatile color that complements nearly any home style while offering the strength and longevity of architectural shingles.
✔ Brand-New Chimney Flashing
To eliminate a common leak point, we installed brand-new chimney flashing, ensuring a watertight seal and long-term protection around the chimney.
The Final Result
The finished roof not only improved the home’s appearance but also provided a lighter, more efficient, and longer-lasting roofing system. With proper ventilation and upgraded flashing, this Penfield homeowner now has peace of mind heading into every season.
If your home has multiple layers of shingles or aging flashing, a professional inspection can help determine the right next step.
