Roofing Case Study: Margery Turner’s Home

Roofing Case Study: Margery Turner’s Home

1. Overview

In the summer of 2024, Margery Turner reached out to us about a critical roofing issue at her home in San Rafael, California. During a family barbecue, she noticed significant water damage along the ceiling near her backyard entrance, accompanied by curling shingles on the roof above. The damage not only posed a threat to her home’s structural integrity but also created concerns about potential leaks worsening during the rainy season. Concerned for her family’s safety and her home’s value, Margery decided it was time to seek professional roofing assistance.

2. Challenge

The challenge was multifaceted. The damaged section of the roof was directly above a high-traffic area of the home, making it prone to further wear and tear. Additionally, the water stains indicated underlying issues, such as potential rot or improper drainage. Upon inspection, we discovered that the affected shingles were aged, and the surrounding roof material had been weakened by prolonged exposure to the elements. Margery also expressed a preference for sustainable and energy-efficient materials, which required thoughtful planning and material selection.

3. Solution

To address the issue, we created a detailed plan focused on efficiency, sustainability, and lasting results. On the scheduled day, our team arrived fully prepared with the necessary tools and high-quality materials.

• Step 1: Inspection

We thoroughly examined the roof to assess the full extent of the damage, confirming that replacement of the affected section was the most effective solution.

• Step 2: Preparation

A protective tarp was installed to shield the exposed area from further water intrusion while work was underway.

• Step 3: Replacement

We carefully removed the damaged shingles and underlayment, replacing them with durable, energy-efficient materials that matched the aesthetics of the existing roof. The upgraded materials also provided enhanced protection against future weather damage.

• Step 4: Drainage Improvement

To prevent similar issues in the future, we enhanced the roof’s drainage system by adjusting the slope and clearing nearby gutters to promote better water flow.

4. Results

The project was completed in just one day, and the results exceeded expectations. The damaged section of the roof was fully repaired, with improved durability and functionality. Margery was particularly impressed by the seamless match of the new materials with her existing roof and appreciated the energy-efficient upgrades.

The improvements restored the safety and appearance of her home while eliminating the risk of leaks during the rainy season. Margery and her family could once again enjoy their home with peace of mind, knowing the roof was built to withstand future weather challenges.
