Problem

Worn out roof and leaking skylights

After an inspection by the team, our roofers found that the overall condition of the home in Sherborn, MA, was 20 years old and in need of replacement.  The following issues were identified and slated to be addressed when replacing the roof:

• Bathroom vents in the wrong place
• Chimney flashing incorrect
• Shingles used for valleys
• Leaking skylights
• Roof heating cables improperly installed
  

With the inspection in hand, the Master Roof team addressed each area of concern. The roof was replaced, and the following actions taken to ensure a watertight, long lasting roof structure for the home:

• The bathroom vents were moved from the soffits to roof vents, helping to prevent ice formation during cold weather, and ensure a dry, mold-free attic structure.
• Chimney flashing was updated with a complete ice shield and new aluminum and lead flashing.
• The original roof had used overlapped shingles for several valleys were multiple roof pitches came together.  These overlapping shingled valleys were replaced with metal valleys to ensure leak-free drainage from the roof.
• The roof had 4 skylights throughout the home.  These skylights were updated and replaced as part of the installation to ensure that they were properly sealed to the new roof and leak-free for years to come.
• The roof also had roof heating cables installed on all of the eaves to prevent ice dams.  These cables were removed with the old roofing and updated as need with the new treatment.

The Master Roof team's intervention in Sherborn, MA, has culminated in a roof that not only looks rejuvenated but functions flawlessly. Every identified problem was meticulously addressed, leading to:

• Better Ventilation and Mold Prevention: By relocating the bathroom vents to roof vents, the likelihood of ice formation and mold growth has been significantly reduced, promoting a healthier attic environment.
• Increased Durability Against Water: The use of updated chimney flashing, complete with an ice shield and high-quality aluminum and lead materials, alongside the replacement of shingled valleys with metal ones, ensures that water is directed away from the home, preventing leaks.
• Seamless Skylight Integration: The installation of new Velux skylights has eliminated previous leaks, providing both functionality and an aesthetic upgrade, allowing natural light to enhance the interior while maintaining a tight seal against the elements.
• Effective Winter Protection: The removal and strategic reinstallation of roof heating cables have optimized the prevention of ice dams, ensuring the roof remains intact even under harsh winter conditions.

The meticulous attention to detail by Master Roof has transformed this home's roofing system into a robust, enduring feature, significantly enhancing the property's value and the homeowner's peace of mind.
