Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as roofing and gutter contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan were hired to install a new roof, heat deflector insulation, gutters and gutter protection on this home. Adequate ventilation, the key to prevention of ice dams, was few and far between. As a result the back side of the house had ice dams forming on the gutter line. Past installer negligence was uncovered after inspection when it was apparent that no intake or exhaust vents existed. Also contributing to issues were outdated spiked gutters that were falling apart and clogging.

With deteriorating gutters and roofing the homeowners knew it was time for an update. They chose a mix of colors that matched different aspects of the house. The gutter line on the edge of the roof blends in with the white soffit and fascia while the downspouts unite with the tone of the siding. The solution which tops the gutters brings out the lighter brown tones in the weathered wood roofing. Weathered Wood, one of the more popular colors, has a nice feathering of colors of both warm and cool grays as well as browns and even blues.

The installation of a new roof resolved future ventilation issues. Our crew installed a ridge vent, a saddle on the chimney with flashing, edge vents on the eave edges with the Solution Gutter Guard installed under the third shingle, Ice & Water Shield over the roof decking, and Heat Deflector Insulation. The CertainTeed NorthGate Shingles along with the Seamless Gutters and gutter protection will stop the ice dams and clogged gutters in their tracks.

Underlayment’s

Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper Winter Guard Ice & Water Shield

Dennison Roofing as Professional Roofing Contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan 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. At Scott Dennison Roofing our customers demand excellence and the peace-of-mind in having WinterGuard installed over the entire roof deck even though this process adds additional costs to the project but it then eliminates leaks anywhere on the roof.

Dennison Roofing as Roof Repair Contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan even installs ice and water shield under each area when hired to repair roofs. Think about the benefit of having ice and water shield adhering itself to the entire roof deck, where walls meet lower roof-lines including 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 WinterGuard 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 during the roof installation process.
