Project Type & Materials
The project involved several key updates and additions to ensure a thorough restoration. We completely replaced the existing roof with high-quality laminate shingles in Onyx Black, which offer enhanced durability and a sleek, modern appearance. The old, rotted decking was removed and replaced with new, upgraded materials to provide a solid foundation for the new roof.
For the underlayment, we upgraded from the original 15 lb paper to a more durable 30 lb synthetic underlayment, which offers superior protection against leaks and enhances the roof’s overall resilience. We also added an ice and water shield, along with new drip edge, starter strip, and metal components, all of which were painted to match for a cohesive look.
Inside, we repaired and replaced damaged drywall, addressing holes and imperfections in the ceilings and walls of two bedrooms and a bathroom. The interiors were finished with a fresh coat of paint, restoring the space to its pre-storm condition. Outside, we re-stained the deck and replaced damaged siding, improving both the functionality and appearance of the property.
