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.
