    Storm Damage Assessment and Roof Replacement

    The property was photographed wide from the front lawn on the inspection visit, so the whole elevation and its original shingles were on record before anything was touched, and the ridge line was shot end to end to put the scope of the original roof in one frame. The close-ups follow: loose granules gathered along the eave and gutter trough, a damaged tab marked in blue chalk with a hand at the edge of the frame for scale, a fractured tab lifted back to show the bare decking and exposed fasteners underneath, and a crease running through several courses with the shingle mat broken along the fold. Replacement material was staged on site — architectural shingles in charcoal grey with matching hip and ridge caps and starter strip on the same pallet — and tear-off ran across the rear slope with the crew working the line between the old shingles and the freshly underlaid deck. The slopes were closed in with synthetic underlayment over blue tarps laid across the foundation plantings, and the roof was finished around both dormers with the hip and ridge capped.

      Single-story home with light green siding, a brick foundation, dormer windows and a covered front porch, photographed from the lawn before roof work began, with its original grey shingles still in place.
      The property as found on the inspection visit, photographed wide from the front lawn so the whole elevation and its original shingles are on record before anything is touched.

    2. 02 / 10

      View along the full length of the original roof ridge, showing weathered grey three-tab shingles running down both slopes toward a lower dormer and the surrounding rural yard.
      Looking down the ridge line puts the scope of the original roof in one frame, a long uninterrupted run of aged, weathered shingles across both main slopes.

    3. 03 / 10

      Close-up along the eave showing a white aluminium gutter with dark staining and a heavy band of loose shingle granules collected in the trough beside the shingle edge.
      Loose granules gathered along the eave and gutter trough, the kind of shed surfacing that corroborates what the close-ups of the shingles themselves show.

    4. 04 / 10

      Close-up of a displaced shingle tab marked with a large blue chalk X, with a hand resting at its edge to give a sense of the size of the damaged area.
      A damaged tab marked in blue chalk during the inspection, photographed with a hand at the edge of the frame so the size of the affected area reads clearly in the picture.

    5. 05 / 10

      Gloved hand lifting a fractured shingle tab away from the roof to reveal the exposed decking and nail heads beneath, with a blue chalk X on the course below and a work boot in the lower corner of the frame.
      A fractured tab lifted back to show the bare decking and exposed fasteners underneath, with a boot left in the corner of the frame as a scale reference alongside the chalk mark.

    6. 06 / 10

      Close-up of a distinct crease running diagonally through several courses of grey shingles, with the mat visibly broken along the fold line, lifted tab edges and exposed nail heads nearby.
      A crease running through several courses with the shingle mat broken along the fold, the kind of defect that stays sealed to the eye from the ground but no longer sheds water reliably.

    7. 07 / 10

      Pallet of new roofing material staged on the driveway, with wrapped bundles of IKO Cambridge architectural shingles in charcoal grey, IKO Hip and Ridge 12 caps and Leading Edge Plus starter strip.
      Replacement material staged on site ahead of the work: architectural shingles in charcoal grey, with matching hip and ridge caps and starter strip on the same pallet.

    8. 08 / 10

      Rear slope of the house mid tear-off, with two crew members working the line between stripped and unstripped roof, old shingles cleared to the left, synthetic underlayment rolled out to the right and new bundles staged across the deck.
      Tear-off underway on the rear slope, with the crew working the line between the old shingles and the freshly underlaid deck and new bundles already staged to follow behind them.

    9. 09 / 10

      Gable end of the house with the full slope covered in synthetic underlayment, a crew member near the ridge, a ladder at the corner and blue tarps spread over the shrub beds along the foundation.
      The slope closed in with synthetic underlayment, with blue tarps laid over the foundation plantings below to catch debris and keep the tear-off off the landscaping.

    10. 10 / 10

      Completed roof photographed from the ridge, showing new charcoal architectural shingles across the main slopes, two finished dormers and a clean capped ridge running to the far end.
      The finished roof from the ridge: new architectural shingles laid across the slopes and around both dormers, with the hip and ridge capped and the lines running straight to the end of the run.
