New Roof Laurel, Md
Tom Perkins Project

Before:

Roof Estimate: Changing shingles from 25 year "3-tab" to Certainteed Landmark Lifetime Architectural Shingles.

All existing pipe collars will be replaced with new neoprene/aluminum units.

Replace the two old WASCO 2 x 4 skylights with new improved WASCO surface mounted units (with upgraded glass and new EPDM flashing system).

Since we are already tearing the entire roof and felt off, it's the perfect time to cut bigger slots in the sub-roofing and install a new Shingle Vent II ridge vent system.

The added volume of air circulated throughout the attic will keep the area cooler AND drier:

a. Keeping the insulation dry and making it more effective.

b. Lowering your heating and cooling bills.

c. Eliminating dangerous mold and mildew and helping out your allergies.

There will be 72' of Shingle Vent II installed on this project.

Ice and Water Shield will be added at all gutter edges, valleys, and penetrations (chimneys, etc.) to guard against ice dams and bring the existing roof "up to code."

Ice and water shield permanently bonds itself to the plywood surface AND the aluminum drip edge to prevent damage to the wood sub-roof from ice dams and horizontal rain.

There will be about 241 feet of material, 3 feet wide, when this job is completed.

Underneath the Ice and Water Shield at the eave edges will be our Custom formed aluminum drip edges that help direct water into the gutters so that the sub-roof and fascia wood is protected from water and ice dams for the life of your roof. We custom form them on site on our sheet metal brake so that they fit your roof exactly. There will be about 197 feet of 6" wide drip edge applied to this project.
