Problem

Roof was leaking, rotting, and causing significant damage.

The Master Roof team got an urgent call from a homeowner in Bellingham, MA, reporting that the roof had been damaged in a windstorm and was leaking a significant amount of water.  So the team jumped into service and did a full inspection on the home. Some the findings included:

• Significant leaks in both the attic, as well as the home itself.
• Much of the roof sheathing was rotted, with shingles lifting away and allowing water intrusion.
• The brick chimney was in very poor condition – there were large gaps in the mortar, and it was unstable.
• Overall, the condition of the roof was quite poor due to age and weather.



There was no question that the home needed a new roof. The real question was the extent of the damage to the rafters, sheathing, and insulation.  So, the existing roofing materials were removed to expose the sheathing.  Once this was done, the team could really go to work on the underlying issues and rebuild a robust, long-lasting, and watertight roof.

This included addressing the following issues:

• Full replacement of the sheathing on the roof.
• Rebuilding of damaged rafters.
• It was recommended that the homeowner contact a mold remediation company to assess and address the issues with the blown in attic insulation as well as the sheet ceiling in the home.
• The chimney was removed to below roof level and rebuilt with contemporary materials.
• The worn-out roof was replaced by quality roofing materials.
• The vent pipe was replaced with Ultimate Boot Pipe which will last the lifetime of the home.

After a severe windstorm left a Bellingham, MA, home with significant roof damage, the Master Roof team took immediate action to prevent further deterioration. The inspection revealed major concerns, including extensive leaks, rotting roof sheathing, and an unstable chimney, all of which compromised the home’s safety and integrity.

Impact of the Restoration:

• Eliminated severe leaks, preventing further interior water damage and mold growth.
• Reinforced structural integrity, ensuring the roof could withstand future storms.
• Improved home insulation and energy efficiency, reducing potential heating and cooling costs.
• Enhanced long-term durability with high-quality, weather-resistant materials.
• Increased home safety by stabilizing and reconstructing the deteriorating chimney.
• Minimized future maintenance needs, saving the homeowner from costly repairs down the line.

By addressing both the immediate damage and underlying vulnerabilities, the Master Roof team provided a strong, weatherproof, and long-lasting solution, giving the homeowner peace of mind and long-term protection against the elements.
