Problem

Roof, gutters, and siding all damaged by a falling tree.

The Master Roof team got an urgent call from a homeowner in Mansfield, MA, reporting several areas of damage to the home from a tree that came down in a summer thunderstorm. While significant, the damage was not catastrophic to the home – but some of the damage could allow additional water damage to the home. So the Master Roof professionals jumped into service and did a full inspection on the home which noted the following issues:

• Damage to the gutters, fascia, and roof on the right side of the home.
• Damage to the siding and window frames consisting of numerous dings, chips, and paint removed.
• Missing downspouts.
• Concern that the roof and gutter damage would allow additional rainwater into the home.
  

While only part of the roof was storm damaged, the entire structure was also quite worn and at the end of its useful life. So it was evident that the home need an whole new roof (including replacing the aged skylight) in addition to repairing the storm damage.  As the existing roofing came off, it was clear that this stately Victorian was built using the standards of the time and that all new sheathing would be needed to support contemporary shingles.  So the roof was re-sheathed with plywood, providing both a base for GAF shingles, as well as repairing the storm damage from the tree impact. The following issues were addressed in this extensive job:

• Full replacement of the sheathing on the roof.
• Rebuilding of damaged rafters, trim, soffits, gutters, and fascia.
• Replacement of the worn out and leaking skylights.
• The worn-out roof was replaced by quality GAF roofing materials.
• Replacement of flashing around the chimney and dormers.
• The vent pipe was replaced with Ultimate Boot Pipe which will last the lifetime of the home.
• Of particular interest was the rebuilding of the sheathing and trim on the rounded cupola which needed significant work to make it all watertight.

The comprehensive restoration undertaken by the Master Roof team in Mansfield, MA, has significantly enhanced the home's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. By addressing the storm-induced damage and pre-existing wear, the following key improvements were achieved:​

Enhanced Structural Integrity

• Complete Roof Overhaul: The installation of new plywood sheathing provided a solid foundation for the roofing system, ensuring durability and stability.​
• GAF Shingles Installation: Renowned for their durability and weather resistance, GAF shingles were selected, offering the homeowner a robust roofing solution. ​Ultimate Pipe Flashing: The replacement of the vent pipe with the Ultimate Pipe Flashing ensures a watertight seal around roof penetrations, preventing potential leaks and extending the roof's lifespan.

Improved Aesthetic Appeal

• Cupola Restoration: The meticulous rebuilding of the rounded cupola's sheathing and trim restored its original charm, enhancing the home's overall visual appeal.​
• Siding and Trim Repairs: Addressing the dings, chips, and missing paint on the siding and window frames revitalized the home's exterior, contributing to a refreshed and well-maintained appearance.​

Long-Term Benefits

• Skylight Replacement: Installing new, leak-resistant skylights improved natural lighting within the home while preventing future water intrusion.​
• Flashing Upgrades: Updating the flashing around the chimney and dormers fortified these vulnerable areas against water penetration, ensuring long-term protection.​

In summary, the Master Roof team's comprehensive approach not only remedied the immediate storm damage but also proactively upgraded critical components of the home's exterior. These enhancements have collectively fortified the home's defense against the elements and elevated its aesthetic and functional value.
