Problem

Old and leaking roof was causing water damage.

A homeowner in Hopedale, MA, called the Master Roof team to take a look at the roof of their home. The roof was several years old and showing its age.  This was indicated in the following issues:

• Inadequate ventilation via the single gable vent.
• Failing flashing around the chimney, vent pipe, and siding leading to potential leaks.
• Dry, cracking shingles leading to micro-leaks.
  

While the roof was aging and needed replacement, the primary issues to address were the ventilation of the roof and the flashing between the roof, chimney, vent pipe, and existing siding of the home.    This was all intended to provide a long-lasting, waterproof envelope for the home and involved updating and improving several items on the roof:

• New flashing between the roof and the siding of the home. The existing siding was inspected to ensure ice and water shield behind the siding for a water-tight seal.
• The attic ventilation was significantly upgraded by moving from the gable vent on single end of the home to ridge and soffit vents throughout.
• The flashing around the chimney was updated in 3 layers. The first layer is an Ice and Water membrane around the chimney and up the chimney brick for 6 inches. Second, each shingle got a piece of aluminum step flashing and corners get a piece of lead flashing.   And the third layer is lead counter flashing. 
• The boot pipe flashing was replaced with the Ultimate Boot Pile to last lifetime of the roof.
• The bathroom vents are exiting into the attic, leading to increased humidity and the possibility of water/mold damage. So, the vent exits were relocated to the roof.
• A new roof was installed as the roof was past the end of its service life.

The roofing project in Hopedale, MA, significantly improved the home’s weather resistance, ventilation, and overall structural integrity. By addressing critical issues such as inadequate ventilation, failing flashing, and aging shingles, the project delivered long-term protection and efficiency.

• Stronger, Leak-Free Roofing System:
• The installation of a brand-new roof replaced the aging, dry, and cracking shingles, eliminating micro-leaks and reinforcing the home’s structural integrity.
• The new roofing materials extended the lifespan of the roof, ensuring long-term durability against harsh weather conditions.
• Enhanced Ventilation and Moisture Control:
• Upgraded ventilation by replacing the single gable vent with a combination of ridge and soffit vents, improving attic airflow and reducing heat and moisture buildup.
• Redirected bathroom venting from the attic to the roof, preventing humidity buildup that could lead to mold growth and water damage.
• Superior Waterproofing and Flashing Improvements:
• Installed new flashing between the roof and siding, ensuring a watertight seal and protecting the home’s exterior from potential leaks.
• Chimney flashing was upgraded with a robust three-layer system, including an Ice and Water membrane, aluminum step flashing, and lead counter flashing for maximum protection against water intrusion.
• The boot pipe flashing was replaced with the Ultimate Boot Pipe, designed to last the lifetime of the roof, preventing future leaks and ensuring long-term performance.
• Increased Home Efficiency and Longevity:
• By sealing all previous leak points and optimizing ventilation, the home is now more energy-efficient, reducing potential heating and cooling costs.
• The combination of new roofing materials and improved moisture management creates a more comfortable indoor environment, minimizing risks of mold and insulation deterioration.

With these critical upgrades, the home is now better protected from the elements, more energy-efficient, and structurally sound, giving the homeowner peace of mind for years to come. The customer was very impressed with the professionalism and quality provided by the Master Roof team!
