Project Spotlight: Stunning Roof Replacement in Honeoye Falls NY

Initial Inspection Homeowners in the village of Honeoye Falls, NY got in touch with Stellar to inspect their roof. They had noticed several warning signs indicating that their roof was nearing the end of its lifespan. Our inspection team got to their home to asses what the risk factors were that would indicate the need for a new roof. Upon first inspecting the roof’s exterior, they noticed that several shingles were lifting. This was especially apparent near key points of the roof, such as around the vents. There were also more lifted shingles around the corners of the roof and the chimney. While flashing was installed, it was not up to Stellar’s standard, and could greatly benefit from new and improved flashing. When looking at the roof from inside the attic, our inspector noticed that there were several points where shingles had been installed incorrectly. This was another piece of the puzzle when it came to diagnosing this roof’s core issues, and the likely culprit for being the cause of the lifted shingles. Several spots where the decking was potentially damaged were also found, which would need to be addressed during the removal process. The Project Plan Once the inspection was complete, the homeowners met with our roofing experts to discuss the best path forward. The team ended up discussing the full plan with the customer, giving them a detailed look at what the process would involve. The customer decided to move forward with a complete roof replacement, choosing to go with the IKO Dynasty Shingles. The customer wanted to stick to a roof color that matched their previous one, so they went with the Granite Black option. The Roof Replacement To get the process started, our team worked quickly to get the old shingles removed. To keep the home protected and make clean up easier, a protective tarp was laid down on top of the roof, preventing shingles from hitting the home’s siding or lawn. This tarp would also serve as a protective barrier in case it rained. Following this, the underlayment was removed, along with any damaged decking the team noticed. During this process, the team was impacted by heavy rainfall. This put the homeowner’s property at risk for damage, because the decking was fully exposed without any waterproof barrier. Thankfully, our team promptly covered the exposed areas with waterproof tarp so that the project could be completed even during the rainstorm. At Stellar, we don’t let climate impact our work. No matter the weather, we’re going to ensure that our job is done properly with your home being fully protected the entire time. With the shingles and decking removed, it was time to start rebuilding the roof from the ground up. The first step involved our team installing all new decking anywhere that it had been removed previously. These pieces of lumber were installed and gave new stability to the roof. After this, synthetic underlayment was applied to keep the decking protected from water damage. Finally, the shingles were installed. Our team used cap nails for the installation, Stellar’s choice for roofing installations, because of their quality and durability. Once the shingles were installed, our team met with the homeowner for a final inspection to ensure everything was exactly as they wanted it. The Final Result Upon completion, the homeowners were satisfied with their brand new roof, not only for their home, but for their shed as well. In addition to the new roof, the homeowners had updated skylights in their home, that were protected from damage with edge flashing. Along with this, edge flashing was installed on the chimney, in order to protect it from leaks and provide an aesthetically appealing, clean finish. As with all our installations, the homeowners were given constant updates throughout the process, to ensure that they were satisfied with every step of the installation. When the team ensured full satisfaction, the site was cleaned and the customers could feel comfortable with their brand new roof. Protected by an industry leading warranty, this roof would be guaranteed to last for decades to come.
