Roofing Project Overview

Following a request from a homeowner in Malden, our roofing contractor conducted an extensive inspection. Given the condition of the existing roof and home, a full roof replacement, rebuiding of a deck, and replacement of all the siding was advised and completed.

Ice and Water Shield: GAF StormGuard Ice & Water Shield

Underlayment: GAF Deck-Armor Synthetic

Roof Size: 22sq

Problem

The whole exterior envelope of the home is worn out and needs replacement.

The team at Master Roof was asked to come to a home in Malden, MA, and give an assessment for much more than just a roof! The structure was built in 1920 and needed considerable work. In addition to the failing roof, the home needed new siding, and the porches rebuilt. This includes some structural work to fix sagging spots in the roof, new sheathing under the shingles, new guttering, and replacing crumbling porch railings with new vinyl units.

Solution

Rebuild and replace the roof, porches, and siding.

Including a licensed electrician to remove the electrical connections on the side of the home.
Removing unused satellite dishes.
Stripping the existing roof and cedar shake siding.
Removing the rotted 1^st floor porches, while building in temporary supports for the 2nd floor porches.
Re-sheathing the roof to make the 100+ yr old underlayment compatible with modern shingles.
Updating the flashing around the chimney.
Replacing the boot pipe around the plumbing vent pipe with the Ultimate Boot pipe which is made to last the lifetime of the roof.
Fix areas of sagging along the roof crest and hip lines.
Installing proper ventilation that will work with the attic insulation to ensure proper airflow under the roof structure.
Replacing the guttering and moving the downspouts to the corner of the building.
Replacing the cedar shake siding with new shingles.
Rebuilding the back porch to remove any rotted lumber, install new PVC railings, and bring the structure to contemporary safety codes.

Key outcomes included:

Enhanced Structural Integrity: Sagging areas along the roof crest and hip lines were repaired, restoring the roof’s stability. The re-sheathing of the roof made the century-old underlayment compatible with modern shingles, ensuring a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
Modernization and Safety Compliance: The back porch was completely rebuilt with rotted lumber replaced, new PVC railings installed, and the structure upgraded to meet contemporary safety codes. Temporary supports ensured the stability of the second-floor porches during the process.
Durable and Long-Lasting Materials: The cedar shake siding was replaced with modern shingles, enhancing the home’s aesthetics and providing improved weather resistance. Updated flashing around the chimney and the installation of the Ultimate Boot pipe ensured long-term durability and leak prevention.
Improved Functionality: Proper ventilation was installed to optimize airflow under the roof structure, working seamlessly with attic insulation to improve energy efficiency. The guttering system was replaced and downspouts relocated to better manage water runoff and protect the home’s foundation.
Thorough Preparation and Cleanup: The removal of unused satellite dishes and collaboration with a licensed electrician to safely remove exterior electrical connections streamlined the project and ensured a clean, professional result.
