This project features two best alternatives to the conventional roofing materials: rolled PVC membrane instead of a rubber roof, and interlocking aluminum shingles instead of regular asphalt shingles.
Both roofing materials are considered to be permanent solutions requiring minimum to none maintenance.

The homeowner approached us in January of 2013 and needed his newly constructed home to be sided and roofed in the coming weeks. He had already selected the metal roofing and siding for the project but had yet to select a contractor nor a material to be used on his flat roofs and decks. Once we proposed our durable PVC membranes the homeowner had made his choice; all that was left was to find the weather breaks to proceed.

As you can see from the before photos, the 3-tab asphalt roofing has unsightly black stains that many people mistake for mold, when in fact the black stains are caused by a blue-green alga that feeds on components of the asphalt shingles. The black stains are an accumulation of dead cells from the algae, Gloeocapsa Magma, and once embedded into an asphalt roof are a pain in the neck to remove and keep at bay.

This particular house had about 20 years old asphalt shingles roof, which was about time to replace. Because the old shingles were red and the homeowner liked the color of the roof we decided to go with Sequoya Red Tamco Metalworks shingles in the Astonwood profile.
Once the old roof was removed we discovered that the roof deck was made out of wood planks. It was in pretty good shape overall, almost no rot damage which shows that roof wasn’t leaking on the regular basis.
This beautiful two story house an Attleboro, MA featured a lot of custom made brick masonry such as fences, walkways etc. No wonder, when the time came to replace the roof the owner decided to go with red. A Tamco stainless steel stone crest slate texture shingles in gorgeous Sequoya Red color were picked along with matching trim and flashings.
There was also a custom-made perforated drip edge ordered, to ensure the proper roof ventilation. There was also a standalone garage and shed that needed reroofing with the same metal shingles.
First of all we had to strip two layers of existing asphalt shingles and inspect the roof deck for any rot damage.
