What’s underneath your roof matters, especially in moisture exposed areas.
This overhang was beginning to deteriorate. As part of the repair, our team is replacing the affected area with CDX plywood instead of OSB, a material choice better suited for this particular application.
The crew is also looking for ways to work efficiently and reduce waste. By strategically cutting the plywood, one sheet can provide 16 feet of coverage.
It’s all about finding the right materials, addressing the underlying problem, and creating a roofing system built to perform for the long term.

Take a look at this completed 3,000+ sq. ft. roofing project.
This replacement included more than installing a new roof. The roofing system was also upgraded with ridge vents to improve attic ventilation and valley metal to help manage water where different roof sections meet.
Details like ventilation and proper water management play an important role in how a roof performs over time. A new roof should not only look great, it should have the right components working together to protect the home.

Proper roof ventilation is about creating a complete airflow system.
In this attic, the lack of proper intake and exhaust ventilation contributed to significant deterioration, leaving the plywood rotting and splitting. The solution required fully re-sheeting the roof to give the new roofing system a solid foundation.
By addressing the ventilation and replacing the damaged plywood now, the goal is to prevent long-term problems and help the roof system perform the way it should.
Your roof is more than what you see from the outside. The health of your attic and roof deck matters, too.

What happens when an older low slope roof starts to deteriorate?
This roof on Bainbridge Island has an older torch down membrane, and our estimator points out a noticeable sign of wear: the reflective coating on the surface is flaking and coming off.
Torch down roofing is commonly used on low slope applications, but like any roofing material, it can deteriorate with age and exposure. When the surface begins breaking down, it’s worth having the entire membrane evaluated to determine its remaining condition and whether repairs or replacement may be needed.

Safety is a priority on every jobsite, and staying up to date with the right technology is part of that commitment.
The AcuSaif Smart Safety Solutions team came to our office to walk our crew through their safety technology, demonstrate how it works, and get the team properly equipped.
We’re proud to invest in tools and training that help our crews work safely, stay compliant, and make it home at the end of the day.
What goes into a properly installed roof valley?
Our project manager walks through the process step by step.
First, the valley is wrapped with synthetic underlayment before valley metal is installed. From there, the crew chalks a line 2 inches from the center of the valley. This gives them a consistent reference point as the bleeder shingles are installed and helps keep the layout even all the way up the valley.
Once the bleeder shingles are in place, the roofing shingles are installed in a book-like pattern, creating a clean, consistent layout while directing water toward the valley.
A roof valley is one of the areas where water naturally concentrates, so proper installation and attention to detail are especially important.

A homeowner called about a leak around the skylight. The solution? Build a proper foundation for the skylight.
To address the problem, the existing area will be removed and new plywood installed. From there, a raised curb will be built for the skylight to sit on, securely fastened, and properly flashed to help keep water where it belongs: off the roof and out of the home.
A good skylight installation is about more than the window itself. The surrounding roofing details matter, too.

When insulation blocks the intake vents under your eaves, it can restrict the airflow your attic ventilation system needs.
A roof baffle helps solve the problem by keeping the insulation pushed back and creating a clear channel for air to travel from the intake vent into the attic space.
That small gap may not look like much, but it plays an important role in keeping air moving through the ventilation system.
Proper attic ventilation starts with proper airflow. Think your insulation may be blocking your vents? Let’s get that checked out.
One of the biggest differences from traditional architectural shingles is the attention to spacing and pattern.
To create that distinctive “teeth” pattern, the shingles need to be laid out with precise spacing. On this installation, that means maintaining 5½-inch and 15½-inch spacing between shingles throughout the pattern.
It may seem like a small detail, but consistent spacing is what creates the clean, intentional look Presidential Shake shingles are known for.
When choosing a contractor, make sure they understand the installation requirements of the specific roofing product being used. The right materials only look their best when they’re installed correctly.
