Problem

Worn out roof and leaking skylights

The team at Master Roof got a call from the homeowner asking them to the aging roof and skylights. And a close inspection did indeed show interior water stains around the skylights, worn and leaking shingles, gutter guards failing, and insufficient/blocked soffit vents.

With the inspection in hand, the Master Roof team got to work.  The team quickly removed the old roofing and repaired several issues with the existing roof.  Among these were:

• Replacement of rotted/deteriorated sheathing
• Contacting Mass Save to assess the attic insulation and soffit vents
• Constructing a new ridge vent
• Replacing the gutter leaf guards
• Replacing 2 of the 4 skylights on the home
• Updated roof flashing, paying close attention to the cricket around the chimney to ensure a watertight barrier between the chimney and the roof.
• Installation of new underlayment and shingles.
• Replacing the boot pipe around the plumbing vent pipe with the Ultimate Boot pipe which is made to last the lifetime of the roof.
• Removal of an unused satellite dish bracket.

The comprehensive roof and skylight replacement carried out by Master Roof resulted in a complete transformation of the homeowner's roofing system. The replacement of rotted and deteriorated sheathing restored the structural integrity of the roof, providing a solid foundation for the new system. Updated flashing and meticulous attention to detail around the chimney’s cricket ensured a watertight barrier and resolved existing water intrusion issues.

Key outcomes included:

• Improved Energy Efficiency: The attic insulation and soffit vents were assessed and enhanced in collaboration with Mass Save, optimizing airflow and reducing energy loss. The newly constructed ridge vent further improved ventilation and contributed to the longevity of the roofing system.
• Elimination of Water Leaks: Two leaking skylights were replaced, and updated flashing around all roof penetrations ensured long-term protection against moisture intrusion. The installation of new underlayment and shingles reinforced the roof’s weather resistance.
• Upgraded Durability: The plumbing vent pipe boot was replaced with the Ultimate Boot pipe, a component designed to last the lifetime of the roof. High-quality gutter leaf guards were installed, resolving previous drainage issues and minimizing future maintenance needs.
• Enhanced Aesthetic and Functionality: The removal of an unused satellite dish bracket created a cleaner appearance, while the installation of new shingles revitalized the home’s exterior and improved curb appeal.

The homeowner expressed high satisfaction with the project, praising the team’s efficiency and professionalism. By addressing all identified issues, Master Roof delivered a durable, energy-efficient solution that resolved water intrusion problems, extended the roof’s lifespan, and enhanced the home’s overall functionality and appearance. This project underscores Master Roof's commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
