East Dallas Roof Replacement with Owens Corning Duration Shingles
June 2024
## Roof Replacement in East Dallas – Owens Corning Estate Gray This roof replacement in Dallas’ 75218 ZIP code involved more than simply removing the old shingles and installing new ones. The home has multiple roof elevations, intersecting rooflines, valleys, chimneys, sidewalls, plumbing penetrations and a skylight. Each of those areas required separate attention during installation. After removing the existing roofing materials, we inspected the exposed roof deck. The home had a mixture of older decking materials, including sections of plank decking and panel sheathing. Damaged or unsuitable areas were repaired to provide a solid, nailable surface for the new roofing system. The photographs also document the roof during tear-off, deck preparation and underlayment installation—not just the finished appearance. fileciteturn0file0 We installed Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles in Estate Gray. The lighter gray blend complements the home’s painted brick, stonework and dark trim without overpowering the exterior. Matching Owens Corning RIZERidge hip and ridge shingles were used along the roof peaks to provide a consistent finished appearance. fileciteturn0file1 The roofing system included synthetic underlayment, Owens Corning WeatherLock ice and water barrier, starter shingles and new drip edge. Ice and water protection was used around vulnerable roof transitions and valleys. New ridge ventilation was installed along several roof peaks to improve attic airflow while keeping the ventilation integrated into the finished roof. Special attention was given to the chimney and wall intersections. These are frequent leak points because water is concentrated where the roof meets vertical masonry or siding. The project included new step flashing and carefully formed metal flashing around the chimneys. Plumbing jacks, exhaust caps and other roof penetrations were also replaced or properly integrated into the new shingles. The completed roof presents a clean, consistent appearance across a fairly complicated roof design. More importantly, the work beneath the shingles—deck preparation, underlayment, flashing and ventilation—was completed as part of the overall roofing system rather than treated as an afterthought.
