Winter Sun Construction, LLC“We have much experience in house renovation and we know good from bad. You have been great!”
--Ed & Lisa R.
The existing roof was at the end of its service life and in need of replacement. Nails were visible through shingles, pieces of shingles were missing and overhanging edges were brittle and cracking.
Water was leaking inside due to a combination of inadequate flashing and a shallow roof pitch.
Evidence that these leaks were recurring problems was discovered as more shingles were removed. Parts of this roof have been replaced before!
Yet more evidence that attempts had been tried to fix these problems. This damage was caused by an improperly installed gutter collecting water and debris.
This overhang was secured with metal strap to prevent it from sagging. New plywood and framing were installed as needed.
Special underlayment was installed on the shallow pitch and its valleys to prevent future problems.
This eight foot wide fireplace needed a structure to divert water. Winter Sun craftsmanship will prevent future water damage in this area. Flashing was integrated into the masonry for a watertight seal.
A tax-credit qualified Energy Star metal roof reduces summer power bills by keeping the house cool in the summer.
Metal flashings integrated into the masonry divert water from accumulating.
This roof has many intricate flashing details. Flashing refers to part of the water diversion installed on a roof. Valleys on this roof connected different heights and required special detail. An old range hood was sealed with metal flashings. Transitions between pitches and sidewalls were protected.
