This roofing project in Corte Madera, California involved replacing an aging asphalt shingle roof while carefully working around several existing roof features which include skylights, vents, a chimney, and areas previously occupied by solar panels.
The existing roofing materials were removed to expose the underlying roof structure. Once they were opened, the roof could be properly inspected and prepared for the replacement system. Sections of the project also received new wood sheathing, creating a clean and stable surface for the new roofing materials.
With several roof planes and penetrations throughout the property, careful preparation was essential. New underlayment, flashing, and roofing materials were installed to create a complete system designed to protect the home while accommodating its existing features.
The existing asphalt shingles were removed rather than covered with another roofing layer. This gave the roofing team direct access to the underlying surface and allowed the new system to be installed from a properly prepared foundation.
After tear-off, the underlying roof surface was exposed for inspection and preparation. New wood sheathing was installed where needed, providing a solid and consistent surface for the replacement roofing system.
Multiple skylights are incorporated into the roof and required careful detailing during installation. The surrounding roofing and flashing were addressed to create secure transitions between the skylights and the new roof system.
The existing roof included a solar panel system that had to be accounted for as part of the roofing project. Working around solar installations requires additional planning so the roofing materials beneath and surrounding the system can be properly addressed.
The property contains a chimney and multiple vents and penetrations across the roof. These areas were carefully incorporated into the replacement system with appropriate flashing and detailing to help protect vulnerable transition points.
The home’s roof consists of several connected planes and sections. Each area required proper preparation and installation so the individual sections could function together as one complete roofing system.
Following preparation of the roof deck, new underlayment was installed across the roofing surface. This layer provides additional protection beneath the finished roofing material and is an important part of the overall weather-resistant assembly.
The Harbor project in Corte Madera replaced an aging roofing system with a newly prepared and professionally installed roof designed around the home’s existing features.
Rather than focusing only on the visible shingles, the project addressed the roof from the underlying deck outward. New sheathing was installed where necessary, followed by underlayment and roofing materials, while careful attention was given to the skylights, chimney, vents, solar areas, and transitions between roof sections.
The result is a refreshed roofing system that improves the home’s exterior appearance while providing a stronger foundation and dependable protection from the elements.
Homes with solar panels, skylights, chimneys, vents, and multiple roof sections require more than a standard shingle installation. Each penetration and transition creates an area that must be carefully incorporated into the roofing system to help protect the structure from water intrusion.
Our team handles complete roof replacements involving asphalt shingles, roof deck preparation and repair, new sheathing, underlayment, skylight integration, flashing, vents, chimneys, and complex roof transitions. We approach the roof as a complete system, addressing both the visible materials and the layers underneath.
If your roof is aging, showing signs of deterioration, or includes features that make replacement more complex, schedule an inspection to determine the condition of your existing roofing system and the structure beneath it.
