Full Roof Replacement in Rochester

Our team at Five Star Roofing LLC were contacted by the owner of a rental building in Rochester NH. The building had an old roof that was experiencing Rot and Leaking and was becoming an issue prompting them to decide to have a roof inspection / Quote for a full roof replacement rather than an emergency roof repair due to being the best choice to avoid complications in the future. The decision was made to go with our Atlas Signature Select Roofing System using Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Shingles. Atlas Designer Shingles feature Scotchgard which protects and fights Algae and unsightly black streaks keeping your roof looking newer longer. Atlas Designer Shingles offer a lifetime limited warranty, Atlas Designer Shingles are high-performance with the HP42 technology features a wide format to better curb appeal, a sweet spot nailing area and double FANTASTIC sealant line to ensure your shingles will stay put. Atlas Designer Shingles have wind protection with Hp42 technology and protect your roof from winds up to 130 mph. Atlas Designer Shingles are Class 3 Impact Resistant making this shingle if you're looking for a worthy return on investment. The color that was chosen for the full roof replacement was Coastal Granite. The first step for the full roof installation prior to the removal of shingles was nailing giant tarps to the bottom edge of each roof section, these tarps allowed us to slide the shingles we removed to where we wanted them to land, we also laid tarps on the ground. This method protects the home and landscaping during the full roof replacement.

We removed and disposed of all existing layers of roofing on the entire home. The next step in the full roof replacement was doing a thorough inspection of the existing roof deck, looking for any rotted wood and ensure all nail heads are properly secured. During this process we found that there were large gaps between the decking plywood, so we then made the decision to replace the decking on the entire roof with 1/2in OSB plywood. The next step in the full roof replacement was inspecting the ventilation system and making alterations that where needed to ensure proper air flow. The outcome of the inspection was that there was not proper ventilation and so we cut the ridge back and installed new Atlas TruRidge Ridge Vent to ensure proper ventilation. F8 drip edge was installed to all edges of roof and we fit the drip edge USING 45-degree angles. Making sure that the water would flow properly. 9 ft of ice and water shield was installed on the bottom edges of the roof, we also installed ice and water shield in all valleys and around all roof penetrations as well as all the critical areas where flashing was installed. The next step in the full roof replacement was making sure all of the chimneys were re-flashed using lead flashing. We take special care in this area of the job the lead flashing is the main component to keep water out. Anywhere that there was no ice and water shield we installed Summit 60 Premium underlayment. We then installed the Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Architectural Asphalt Shingles.

Additional information:

We used a chalk line to make certain the cap of the roof in in perfect line. Roofing paper and ice and water shield were be installed using cap nails, all nails were strategically

placed and set to the perfect depth. Nails were installed so both pieces of the laminate shingle were tightly held together and tightly fastened to roof deck.

Here is some information on some of the materials used on this project

• F8 drip edge aluminum (a piece of roof trim which directs water into the gutters, ensuring that water ends up where it is

supposed to go as it drains from the roof. In some homes, a drip edge is not necessary because of the way in which the roof is

designed. In others, it is needed)

• Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Shingles (which have a 130 mile per hour wind rating and a Class A fire rating.)

• Atlas Weather Master ice and water shield ( A premium leak barrier, rubberized

membrane that is used as part of a roofing system to provide a 100% watertight seal)

• Atlas Pro-cut starter (Atlas offers increased wind coverage on many shingles when you use Atlas Pro-Cut starter strips. They are also

covered by up to a Lifetime ltd. warranty when installed on Lifetime Shingle roofs)

• Atlas Summit 60 synthetic roofing paper. (Provides an additional layer of breathable protection between the shingles and roof

deck.

Atlas Summit 60 provides long-lasting leak protection, reduces interior moisture and helps shingles lay flat. Atlas Summit 180

underlayment is specially designed to control moisture)

• Atlas TruRidge ridge vent. (Exhaust Vent for Roof Ridge allows heat and moisture to escape and helps resist snow

infiltration in harsh winter weather. It provides 18 sq. inches per linear foot (67,720 m2/lm) of net free ventilating area).

• Atlas Pro-Cut Hip and Ridge, ridge cap shingles (accentuate the natural beauty of your newly installed architectural shingle roof.

Their design adds depth and dimension to your roof while offering critical protection at the highest-stress areas of your roof

(The hips and ridges).

• New boots were be installed on all vent pipes (A roof boot is also called a plumbing vent boot, pipe boot, or pipe flashing. It is a preformed flashing installed to waterproof pipe penetrations of a roof, like plumbing vent pipes and electrical service mast

pipes.

• Inch and a quarter coil roofing nails were used.

Rubber Repair and Seal

•We installed new membrane cover tape on all the seams that are compromised of the rubber roofing section. Materials being used were Carlisle Bonding Adhesive (90-8-30A Bonding Adhesive is a high-strength, solvent-based contact adhesive that

allows quick bonding of cured flashings and membranes to various substrates. This adhesive is specially formulated for application with a 1/2″ (13 mm) medium nap roller.)

• Sure-Seal Membrane

•Factory-Applied Tape (FAT) (Factory-Applied Tape (FAT®) for stronger, more dependable seams to the industry’s only ENERGY-STAR®-qualified EPDM membrane, no one offers the versatility and performance like Carlisle.)

A wheeled magnet was be used to clean up any stray nails.

When we left this home, the property looked exactly like it did before we started, and no damage was found.

If in the case something gets damaged, Five Star Roofing will always

pay for it without any questions.
