Ipswich MA Roof Replacement with New Skylights & Matching Shed
Ipswich, MA Roof & Skylight Replacement Case Study
This Ipswich, MA home, built in 1998, was still using its original roofing system—now more than 25 years old. After decades of New England weather, the homeowners began noticing shingle deterioration, granule loss, and early signs of leaks near roof penetrations. Master Roof was brought in to provide a complete roofing solution, including a full roof replacement on both the home and shed, installation of a new skylight, and the addition of a second matching skylight.
Project Overview
Following a request from a homeowner in Ipswich needing a roof replacement, the experts at Master Roof performed an extensive inspection. Given the condition of the existing roof, a full replacement was advised and the client agreed.
Homeowner Concerns
The owners reached out to Master Roof after noticing several age-related issues such as shingles cracking, granule loss, signs of moisture around vent pipes, and an aging skylight nearing its end of life. They wanted a long-term solution that addressed both function and aesthetics.
The homeowner also wanted to add another skylight beside the existing skylight on the back of the home. Given that the existing skylight was older than 25 years old, this meant repacing the existing skylight and re-framing the rear roof to accept a second sklyight.
What We Found During Inspection
Every Master Roof project begins with a plan built around the home’s age, structure, and climate exposure. The inspection confirmed that the roofing system had reached the end of its service life. Key findings included cracked shingles, granule loss, compromised sealants, failed boot pipe flashing, and softened sheathing around the skylight area.
Scope of Work
Master Roof executed a full roof tear-off, replaced damaged sheathing, installed high-performance waterproofing materials, replaced the existing skylight, added a new matching skylight, and installed news architectural shingles for long-term durability.
Final Results
The home now features a cohesive, modern roofing system with improved waterproofing, enhanced curb appeal, and increased natural light thanks to the upgraded skylights. The project ensures long-term protection from New England weather.
