Overview
Master Roofers completed a comprehensive roof replacement for a lakeside home in Meredith, New Hampshire, which had been converted from a three-season camp to a year-round residence. The homeowner, in collaboration with a contractor, aimed to create a durable and aesthetically pleasing roofing system that would complement their newly renovated home. The project was a perfect blend of form and function, with the homeowner choosing premium materials and design elements to ensure long-term performance.Client's Initial Request
The homeowner reached out to Master Roofers after purchasing the property, which had a roof that was past its prime. The original roof was about 10 years old, and the homeowner noticed issues related to leaks and aging materials. In addition to the roof replacement, they were undergoing a significant renovation, which included changing the footprint and ceiling height of the home. Their main concern was finding a roofing solution that would be both practical and aesthetically pleasing for the lakeside property.Site Conditions and Findings
The existing roof was in poor condition, with significant wear and tear, especially around areas where the roofline met walls and valleys. Master Roofers conducted a thorough inspection of the roof and found that while the decking was mostly in good condition, it needed to be completely updated due to changes in the home's structure and the added weight of new materials. The homeowner was also concerned about choosing a material that would blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, considering the home's lakeside setting.Master Roofers' Plan
Master Roofers proposed a comprehensive solution that would combine high-end materials with expert craftsmanship. The plan included using GAF Ultra High Definition (UHDZ) asphalt shingles, a premium product known for its durability and aesthetic appeal. These shingles come with a 50-year warranty and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them an ideal choice for a home located on a lakeshore where weather can be unpredictable.In addition to the shingles, the homeowner wanted to
incorporate copper elements to complement the property's natural beauty. Master
Roofers recommended using copper valleys and copper gutters to enhance the
overall design while ensuring long-lasting performance. The use of copper not
only adds to the visual appeal but also provides additional durability and
protection against the elements.
Installation Process and Challenges
The roof installation was completed in stages, as the project coincided with the overall renovation of the home. Master Roofers worked closely with the contractor to coordinate the roofing installation with the ongoing construction work. The team focused on ensuring that the roof decking was properly installed and that all flashing and seals were applied to prevent future leaks.One of the challenges faced during the installation was
working around the home's complex roofline. The roof featured multiple valleys
and varying pitches, which required precise measurements and careful planning.
Additionally, there were areas where the old roof needed to be removed, and
Master Roofers had to ensure that the new materials were correctly integrated
with the existing structure.
Despite these challenges, the installation proceeded
smoothly, and the team made several trips to ensure everything was done to the
highest standard. The homeowner was pleased with the progress and appreciated
the professionalism of the Master Roofers team throughout the process.
Final Results and Client Satisfaction
The final result was a stunning new roof that not only improved the home's appearance but also provided long-lasting protection. The copper valleys and gutters complemented the natural surroundings, and the UHDZ shingles gave the roof a beautiful, dynamic look that changed with the sunlight throughout the day. The homeowner was particularly pleased with the aesthetics and the performance of the roof, which was designed to withstand the harsh weather conditions typical of lakeside properties.In addition to the visual appeal, the homeowner now has a
roof that will last for decades, backed by a 50-year warranty from GAF and a
10-year workmanship warranty from Master Roofers. The investment in
high-quality materials and expert installation ensures that the homeowner will
enjoy peace of mind for years to come, knowing that their roof will protect
their home and family.

This project highlights Master Roofers' ability to handle complex roof installations with attention to detail and a focus on quality. By working closely with the homeowner and contractor, Master Roofers was able to deliver a roofing system that not only met the functional needs of the home but also enhanced its overall aesthetic. The use of premium materials, like the GAF UHDZ shingles and copper accents, ensures that the homeowner's investment will pay off for decades to come.
