Photographed on the job, described as it was.

A full replacement on a home with a lot going on up top: a main gable, a cross gable over the porch, a dormer, and a rear addition with its own ridge and a brick chimney. Every one of those intersections is a valley or a wall transition that needs metal flashing and ice and water barrier underneath.

The dark shingle against the white siding and black trim is a look many homeowners in Middle Tennessee ask for right now. It also shows off the ridge lines cleanly from the street.

This is what the middle of a replacement looks like. The old roof is off, the synthetic underlayment is down and printed with its overlap lines, and the crew is running shingle courses up the main slopes while the porch roof waits its turn.

Ladders, ropes, and staged bundles are part of a working site. What matters is that the deck was dried in before the shingles started and the yard is cleaned up when the crew leaves each day.

A simple hip roof done properly: clean hip caps on every corner, a continuous ridge vent along the top, new pipe boots, and the flashing around the stone chimney redone. Roofs like this are common across Middle Tennessee and are usually finished in a day.

The second photo shows the same house from the front with the gutters back on and the shingle pattern running straight and even across the long slope.

A long, low ranch with hips at both ends and a stepped ridge. The overhead view shows what a straight install looks like: courses aligned across the whole length, hip caps meeting cleanly, and ridge vent run in three sections to match the roof shape.

The chimney was reflashed and the existing white metal patio cover at the rear was left in place and tied into the new drip edge. The angled view shows the same roof with the afternoon shadows across it.

Brown and rust toned shingles to suit the brick and red shutters. The two dormers each add four sidewall flashing lines and a small valley, and the chimney sits right where the rear wing meets the main roof.

The side view shows the same house with the metal cover over the porch, which was flashed to the new shingles rather than replaced.

A lighter, weathered wood shingle color on a brick ranch, with the gabled porch roof and the main hip roof shingled as one job so the color matches everywhere. Ridge vent runs the length of the main ridge.

The straight down view shows the hip and gable intersections, two ridge vent runs, and the white metal cover over the rear patio that the new roof drains onto.

A contemporary home with several roof levels that step up the hillside, a low slope main section, and two skylights. Low slopes need ice and water barrier across the whole deck rather than just the eaves, and each skylight is reflashed with a new curb kit so the new shingles seal to it.

The stepped upper sections drain onto the lower roof, so the wall flashing where they meet gets the same attention as the skylights.

Older homes that have been added onto over the years end up with roofs that meet at odd angles and, sometimes, a section too flat for shingles. This one has a low slope area over the upper addition that was roofed in a membrane while the rest received architectural shingles.

Getting the transition between the flat section and the shingled slopes watertight is the whole job on a roof like this.

Vertical panels run eave to ridge with concealed fasteners, so nothing penetrates the panel face. The chimney is flashed with a matching metal cricket and counter flashing.

Standing seam suits steep and simple roof shapes like this one, where long uninterrupted panels can be formed to length.

A full replacement across connected residential buildings with multiple gables, dormers, and pipe penetrations. Shot from above after the crew finished so the ridge lines, valleys, and flashing at every penetration are visible.

Projects like this are scheduled in sections so residents keep access, with tear off and dry in completed on each section before the next begins.

Vertical board and batten panels on a new build, photographed mid installation with the crew still on ladders. Trim, window flashing, and the transition to the brick water table are all part of the same scope.

Seamless aluminum runs are formed on site to the exact length of each eave, so the only joints are at corners and outlets. Downspouts are placed where water actually needs to leave the house.
