A homeowner from Freeport, NY inquired about a roof inspection for the 20 year old roof on a Colonial home. A previous leak was repaired, and the homeowner was told to purchase a new roof. Klaus inspector Bill visited the home and gave an itemized proposal for a new roof. The crew removed the existing shingles down to the wood decking, and replaced any damaged wood decking, and fortified the existing plywood sheathing. Next, KRS proprietary Sealoron XT Ice & Water Shield was installed, and Sealoron XT Deck Tape was applied to all plywood seams. KRS proprietary Velora One synthetic underlayment was installed, followed by the metal drip and rake edges. IKO starter and Dynasty architectural shingles were installed with galvanized ring shank nails. Permaboot pipe flashing and copper chimney flashing were installed last, followed by the air vent and ridge shingles completing the roof replacement. The homeowner will now have a weatherproof roof with the next 50 years of warranty.
