Blue in the valleys, gray on top: a new GAF roof in McKinney, finished in one day.

On November 10 our crew replaced this McKinney roof from tarps to ridge cap. Here is every stage, in order.

Protecting the Property

Tarps went down along the side yard and beds before the first shingle came off, so nails and debris stayed off the landscaping.

Tear-Off

The old, worn shingles were stripped down to the deck so we could see exactly what we were building on.

New Decking

New OSB decking went down across the roof, including around the chimney chase, giving the new system a solid, flat base.

Leak Barrier and Underlayment

GAF StormGuard leak barrier was run through the valleys and up the chimney chase wall, and GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment covered the rest of the deck before flashing.
