Case Study: Roof Installation and Addition at a Luxury Home in Bedford, New Hampshire

Master Roofers, a trusted roofing company serving New Hampshire for over 80 years, was approached by a client in Bedford, New Hampshire, who had plans to add a new section to their home. The client, an engineer with a keen eye for detail, wanted to take advantage of the construction opportunity to replace the existing 25-year-old roof.

Listen to our discussion about this project:

The property in question was a two-story brick colonial located in a private Bedford community. The homeowner sought a roofing solution that would not only meet their functional needs but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the property, opting for a high-end, luxury finish.

Initial Consultation and Inspection:

The first meeting between Master Roofers and the homeowner centered on two primary goals: discussing the new addition and addressing the aging roof. While the addition didn't require a roof inspection, the existing roof did. Master Roofers conducted a thorough inspection to assess any potential issues such as soft spots in the decking or problems with the shingles.

Despite the roof nearing the end of its life cycle, the inspection revealed no significant structural concerns, thanks to the original quality installation. With no hidden issues, Master Roofers was able to offer a solution that included roofing the new addition and replacing the entire roof of the existing structure.

Choosing the Right Materials:

The client was looking for a premium, European-inspired look to complement the home's architectural style. After reviewing various options, the homeowner chose the CertainTeed Grand Manor luxury asphalt shingle. This particular product mimics the look of a slate roof while offering the benefits of asphalt's durability and ease of maintenance.

The Grand Manor shingles provided the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and long-term performance, giving the home an upscale, timeless look that matched the client's expectations.

Roof Installation Process and Challenges:

One of the more complex aspects of the project involved seamlessly integrating the new roofing structure with the existing roof. The addition required careful attention to flashing, ice and water dams, and overall water-tightness to ensure that the new and existing roof planes melded together flawlessly. Working closely with the builder, Master Roofers ensured that both structural and aesthetic needs were met, creating a unified look where the new addition and the original roof appeared as if they had always been one cohesive structure.

The coordination and attention to detail ensured that water management was optimal, with no gaps or potential leakage points, while also maintaining the visual harmony of the home's exterior.

The Final Outcome:

The completed roof was not only functional but also visually stunning, perfectly complementing the home's aesthetic and architectural design. The client, a highly regarded engineer with an exceptional eye for detail, was thrilled with the outcome. In fact, one of the highest compliments Master Roofers received was the client's statement that after experiencing their level of craftsmanship, he would never consider working with another roofer again. He appreciated the company's professionalism, communication, and ability to collaborate effectively with other contractors on the project.

This project, which involved a significant amount of coordination, precise craftsmanship, and high-quality materials, ended with a beautifully executed roof that met all of the client's engineering standards. The customer was especially pleased with the fact that the finished product not only looked stunning but also met his exacting functional requirements, providing him with a roofing solution that was both beautiful and durable.
