Roof Replacement Case Studies: Shingle Delamination in Harvard, IL

When Keith A. of Harvard, IL decided it was time to get a Pro to take a look at his roof, he gave My-Pros a call. Our Pro, Craig, met with the homeowner and saw that the shingles were delaminating and going to be taking in water sooner rather than later. Delamination can occur over time due to your roof's exposure to UV rays or from improper installation of the original roof. If moisture gets between the membrane of the roof and the shingles, this can also cause delamination. This delamination can cause both water and wind damage to the existing roof.   

While Keith was considering both metal and shingle roofing options, he decided on shingle roof material. He chose CertainTeed Landmark shingles in the color Mission Brown with a 5-star warranty. This 5-star warranty means that Keith will receive a 50 year lifetime warranty for his new roof. Since Keith is a veteran, he also received a $250 rebate from CertainTeed.

Our employees quickly got to work tearing off the existing shingles. However, they found water damage to the decking and it needed to be replaced. Luckily for the homeowner, the damage was over the garage and did not cause much interior damage. Our team replaced and decking and the shingles and Keith now has a beautiful new roof.
