Problem

Showing signs of damage, the shingles on an Uxbridge home were worn out and the team had questions about the home's ventilation and siding.

After the Master Roof roof inspection was complete the team confirmed that the current roofing was worn out. The shingles were showing telltale signs of wear and tear including missing granules, cracking, curling and missing chips. Additionally, the home's shingles were lifting in some sections, which happens when shingles are old, dry and the bond or dura grip is no longer holding the shingles in place. There was also moss / algae staining on one portion of the roof - which if left as is, could be very damaging. The team needed to open up the siding as well and check the flashing and ice / water shields for replacement as well. Lastly, the team needed to check the roof ventilation system as glass sliders in the home were persistently fogging up.

To prevent further moss and algae growth, the roofing experts at Master Roof suggested that the homeowner use GAF HDZ shingles which slowly release copper granules over time, keeping the homeowners roof stainless and moss free. Additionally, the team suggested following up with a more thorough siding, chimney and ventilation inspection to be able to install the step flashing and ice / water shield properly. 

The roof replacement for the Uxbridge home resolved significant issues with the worn-out shingles, ventilation, and potential moss damage, providing the homeowner with a durable and long-lasting roofing system. Master Roof's thorough inspection and expert recommendations ensured the project addressed both immediate concerns and long-term protection for both the home and adjacent shed.

Key outcomes included:

• Enhanced Durability and Moss Prevention: The installation of GAF HDZ shingles provided the home with a reliable roofing material that releases copper granules over time, preventing moss and algae growth. This feature ensures the roof remains stainless and free from the damage caused by organic buildup.
• Improved Ventilation and Moisture Control: The team identified ventilation concerns, particularly linked to fogging glass sliders in the home. By inspecting and addressing ventilation issues as part of the project, the home’s airflow and moisture control were improved, preventing future complications.
  
• Comprehensive Roofing System Upgrade: To ensure a watertight seal and long-lasting performance, the team recommended and began work on a thorough inspection and upgrade of the siding, chimney, and ventilation. This allowed for the proper installation of step flashing and ice/water shields, further enhancing the roof's durability.
  
  

The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the expert workmanship and attention to detail, particularly the preventative measures taken to combat moss and algae growth. By addressing both visible and underlying issues, Master Roof delivered a roofing system that enhances the home’s functionality, appearance, and longevity.
