Briarcliff Dr. (Overview Gardens) New Castle, DE

What a fabulous day in Overview Gardens on Briarcliff Dr. in New Castle, DE. A beautiful corner house property had suffered wind damage due to recent storms. As we started tearing off the roof, we noticed two layers of shingles and two layers of rolled roofing on the flat roof portion. During our task of tearing off, we saw lots of bad sheathing. Our first step to a total roof replacement is checking all wood on the roof. We had to replace forty-five sheets of plywood because it was warped, wet, or rotted. That was almost the entire roof sheathing. After replacing all the lousy sheathing, we were ready to start the Owens Corning total roof protection procedure. The procedure consists of sealing the with ice and water barriers and synthetic underlayments as we install all new drip edges and flashing. We want to defend the roof from everyday elements by installing Owens Corning starter shingles and their prestigious duration designer laminated shingles. The color of choice was the stunning Pacific Wave. Last, we focus on proper ventilation to give the roof the best way to breathe. So we installed Owens Corning’s venture ridge vent with its cap shingles on top to allow the roof to breathe correctly by keeping the hot air and moisture out of the attic and the roof from premature aging caused by water in the winter and excess heat in the summer. The job turned out superb.
