About This Project: Emergency Replacement, GAF HDZ Asphalt Roof in Patriot Red
Recently, our roofing contractors were called out to an urgent roof installation in Beverly, MA. This roof had a gaping hole demanding an immediate emergency tarp. Every year, roofs are the frontline defense against severe weather in New England, protecting homes from the potential damages of rain, wind, and snow. This particular project in Westborough shows us the importance of roof replacement, but also the critical need for professional intervention when weather exposure takes its toll.
Because of the condition of the roof, this home needed extensive work. The main roof was entirely replaced with specific attention to the dormer areas where improper flashing previously led to water infiltration. Bad flashing resulted in the beginnings of rot, threatening the home’s structural integrity and overall safety.
Roof Installation Process and Materials
Following the removal of the old shingles, we went to work on upgrading the roof’s protective features. The installation team prepared to install 2600 square feet of GAF Timberline shingles in a striking Patriot Red color. This color selection makes for a striking curb appeal, all while getting the best benefits of new roofing in Beverly, MA.
Meanwhile, a section of the roof required specialized attention. One square of rubber roofing was installed in areas particularly susceptible to water accumulation. Rubber roofing is known for its excellent waterproofing properties and resilience, making it an ideal solution for parts of the roof that demand extra protection. The entire roofing system consists of 6 layers that excel in energy savings and protection through every New England season!
