🚨 The Challenge
After years of battling small roof leaks and poor ventilation, the Klein family noticed their energy bills creeping up and granules showing up in their gutters. The roof was over 20 years old, and the shingles had lost much of their protective coating.
What started as a couple of water spots turned into a clear sign: it was time for a roof replacement. That’s when they reached out to Reasonable Roofing for a solution
Our Solution
We started with a full inspection, identifying granule loss, shingle fatigue, and inadequate attic ventilation. These small issues added up to increased moisture in the attic and poor overall performance of the roofing system.
Instead of quick patchwork, we recommended a full roofing system replacement with upgraded venting to prevent problems from returning.
1.
Full Roof Tear-Off
We removed all old shingles and underlayment. The decking underneath was mostly intact, but we replaced a few boards showing signs of softening from past moisture exposure.
2.
Ventilation Correction
The home had no ridge vent, and the static vents were clogged or incorrectly placed. We added a continuous ridge vent system and sealed off unnecessary penetrations to improve airflow and prevent ice damming in the winter.
3.
Ice & Water Protection
Given Greenville’s winter conditions, we installed a high-performance ice & water shield around all eaves, valleys, and the chimney base to prevent wintertime leaks.
- Stripping back the surrounding damaged shingles
- Inspecting the underlayment and replacing any saturated sheathing
- Installing ice and water shield for added protection
- Installing brand-new shingles with nice color match to the home
4.
Underlayment + Shingle System
We installed a synthetic underlayment for maximum deck protection. On top, we used Owens Corning Duration shingles in a neutral brown/gray blend to complement the home’s brick and stone exterior.
5.
Fashing & Chimney Work
The chimney flashing was replaced with new step and counter flashing, and the metal was sealed and painted to match the new shingle system.
