Full Roof Replacement in Lima With Owens Corning Shingles and Rolled Roofing

This Lima home had a roof that needed everything - steep slopes, dormers, low-slope sections, and pipe penetrations. Each one of those areas requires a different approach, and skipping corners on any of them is how you end up with leaks down the road. We came in with a full plan and executed it top to bottom.

For the steep sections, we went with Owens Corning shingles in Estate Gray. It's a color that works really well against the cream siding and dark shutters on this house - clean, sharp, and built to hold up. Owens Corning is a name we trust because the material is consistent and the warranty backs it up. What you put on the roof matters as much as how you install it.

The low-slope areas got rolled roofing, which is the right call for sections where standard shingles won't shed water properly. It's a smooth, tight surface that handles flat and low-pitch geometry without giving water anywhere to sneak in. We also installed lifetime pipe boots on every penetration. That detail right there is one of the most overlooked parts of any roofing job. Pipe boots fail before shingles do - a lot of the time that's actually where a leak starts. Using a lifetime boot means you're not coming back to that problem in five years.

We do a lot of roofs that mix multiple surface types on the same structure. It's honestly where you can tell the difference between a crew that knows what they're doing and one that doesn't. The transition between the shingle field and the rolled roofing sections has to be tight and properly flashed. Get that wrong and it doesn't matter how good everything else looks.

Precision on the details is what makes a roof last. Not just the material choice, but the flashing, the boots, the transitions, the edges - all of it. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every job we take in Lima and the surrounding area.
