When a customer calls our office two appointments are set. The first one is the Measure Call where we sit down with each homeowner and provide the them for their personal records; copies of our license, insurance, certifications and previous customer reviews. Next, we explain the requirements of both the building codes and manufacturer requirements necessary in order to validate the new roof’s warranty as well as to ensure customer satisfaction. We also discuss in detail the history of any roof leaks and ice build up, warranties, and the aspects of installing proper ventilation which not only saves energy for the homeowner but also validates the new shingles warranty. This vital information allows us upon the completion of our discussion to validate those problems, inspect the attic, the intake vent areas (soffit) of the home and to properly inspect the existing roofs shingles. This very thorough method allows us to put together a very detailed customized proposal designed to solve the long term and short term issues.
At the proposal Review meeting we meet with everyone involved in the decision making process in order to assure customer satisfaction and to continue the communication process. At this second meeting we go into detail about how we maintain our credentials, show extensive photos of our inspection and then go through the complete roof replacement process and conclude with a detailed review of our customized proposal.

Underlayments
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper Winter Guard Ice & Water Shield
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper uses CertainTeed’s WinterGuard waterproofing shingle underlayment, which is the solution for winning the battle against water penetration in your roof’s most vulnerable places. WinterGuard is a composite material of asphalt polymers, formed into a rolled sheet. The asphalt makes it vapor-tight, and the polymers make the asphalt elastic and sticky. This protective barrier is able to stretch and seal around nails driven through it. Placing WinterGuard a minimum of 24″ past the interior wall line at the eave provides your first line of defense.
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper installs Winter Guard six feet up the roofline from all eave edges, where all lower roofs meet any walls and around all roof ‘ shingle penetrations such as furnace / water heater vent stacks, soil pipes, chimneys, antenna satellite fasteners, skylights and any other protrusions through the roof. This process eliminates all potential future callbacks.
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper Winter Guard seals the roof against infiltration of water into the home due to ice dams and wind-driven rain that also seals water-tight around each nail that is driven through it. The sand surface of Winter Guard also provides a huge safety factor for installers while walking on top of the shield.
