Garage roof replacement. 

Many old homes don't have a cricket on their chimney because until about 5 years ago they weren't mandatory. To bring them back up to code roofers must install crickets on chimneys that are over 30 inches. That's just one of the services we provided for this Bellevue Kentucky Home.

In July of 2022, Stephanie of Newport, Kentucky, called us because she had a major roof leak affecting her bathroom. Our General Manager went out to inspect her home. His inspection found some shocking information about the previous work done to repair the roof on her bump out. 

The area was small. It was only an 8x2.5 section of the roof on the side of her house. The previous installer hadn't put an apron flashing behind the siding where it meets the house. He also found holes in the roof where a satellite used to be. When they installed the dish they drilled directly into the shingles and didn't seal the holes back up when the satellite was removed. Additionally, the siding that is around the window wasn't installed correctly.

We had a solution for all of the issues that caused her roof to leak. First, we stripped the roofing material from the bump out. We replaced the decking with brand-new plywood. We included an underlayment to help prevent future leaking. We added apron flashing and an aluminum drip edge. To match the shingles on the rest of her roof we used IKO Cambridge IR AR - Dual Black. 

This just goes to show how small mistakes can lead up to big problems! That's why our work is backed by a 50-year transferrable warranty. 

This roof in Richmond, Indiana was dilapidated and in desperate need of replacement. Our team replaced the old roof system with a brand new IKO Cambridge system in our "dual black" color.
