Watch an Irving roof go from tear-off to done, skylights and all, in 10 photos. Our crew tarped the landscaping, tore the old roof off down to the deck, sealed the skylights with GAF leak barrier and synthetic underlayment, flashed the chimney and pipe boots, then finished with new shingles and ridge cap.

Property Protection

Before a single shingle came off, the crew tarped the walls and landscaping to catch nails and debris.

Tear-Off

The old shingles and underlayment came off down to the deck so we could see exactly what was underneath.

Decking

With the roof open, the crew checked the deck and the skylight curbs before anything new went down.

Repairs & Flashing

New pipe boot and chimney flashing, tied into the new shingles so water runs off the roof instead of into it.
