Problem

Aged and Leaking Roof

A homeowner in Milford, MA, reached out to the experts at Master Roof for an assessment of their home. The house is a well-cared-for mid-century home, though the roof was aging and leaking. The following items were noticed during the inspection:

• The roof is worn out. The shingles are unsealed and scratched, show signs of granule loss, and many are broken. 
• There are water stains on the ceiling, indicating that the roof needs to be replaced.
• There is a double layer of shingles in some parts of the roof.
• There are gable vents, but there’s no access to check the condition of the roof decking and insulation in the attic.
• There are holes in the lead flashing around the chimney, which may indicate active leaks.
• Several cedar shake siding pieces are completely rotted and need to be replaced in the wall flashing.
• Some of the window seats have failed and need to be replaced.

After careful consideration, the homeowner decided to completely replace the roofing materials on the home. This included the following actions:

• Strip the existing roofing materials – including the sections of double layer shingles.
• Cut out and replace any rotting ledger boards and other roof decking.
• Inspect the attic insulation and ventilation.
• Installation of the Ultimate Boot Pipe, providing a long-lasting solution to flashing issues around the plumbing vent.
• Replacement of the worn guttering with new gutters, preventing water from seeping between the gutters and fascia.
• Replacing the chimney flashing with a three-layer process - The first layer is an Ice and Water membrane around the chimney, extending 6 inches up the chimney brick. Second, each shingle gets a piece of aluminum step flashing and the corners get a piece of lead for proper flashing. Third, the team installed the counter flashing, made of lead flashing.
• Replace all roofing materials with quality GAF products: GAF Timberline shingles in Weatherwood, StormGuard, Deckamour, and Timbertex. 
  

Master Roof’s complete roof replacement in Milford, MA, provided a lasting solution to ongoing leaks and aging materials in this well-maintained mid-century home. By removing all old roofing—including problematic double layers—and replacing compromised roof decking, the team ensured a solid foundation for the new system. The installation of high-performance GAF Timberline shingles in Weatherwood, along with StormGuard, DeckArmor, and Timbertex, created a watertight, durable barrier designed to withstand New England’s toughest seasons.

Critical repairs included replacing rotted cedar shake siding and deteriorated chimney flashing. The new three-layer flashing system around the chimney significantly reduces the risk of future leaks, while the inspection and improvement of attic ventilation supported the home’s energy efficiency and internal air quality. Where accessible, insulation and decking were checked and reinforced for long-term performance.



The result is a secure, attractive, and weather-resistant roof that not only protects the home from future water damage but also enhances its overall value and longevity. With expert craftsmanship and premium materials, the homeowner can feel confident their roof will perform reliably for years to come.
