Dennison Exterior Solutions as roofing contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan were contracted to remove and replace the roof on this beautiful home in Saint Joseph Michigan. The roof behind the garage is the largest roof on the home wherein the previous contractor failed to install proper ventilation on all roof areas causing the roof to fail prematurely. In addition, the previous roofer installed a low-pitched rubber roof on the roof behind the garage even though the pitch was well above the requirements for a low-pitched type of roofing to be used. The rubber roof was extremely ugly which detracted from the beauty of the home.
We removed and replace the entire roof and upgraded the ventilation system on the roof in order to validate the new shingles 50 year Lifetime Warranty. Prior to starting the project our Gutter Topper installers removed and saved the previously installed Gutter Topper and saved it so that we could reinstall it once the roof work had been completed.
As roofing contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan Dennison Exterior Solutions specializes in the installation of Lifetime Warranty (50 Year Warranty) Shingles that includes a 50 Year 100% Transferable Labor & Material Warranty backed by CertainTeed without any Prorating during the life of the shingles.

Underlayments: Dennison Exterior Solutions Winter Guard Ice & Water Shield
Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed’s WinterGuard waterproofing shingle underlayment 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 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 call-backs.
Dennison’s 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.

Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed’s Diamond Deck high performance synthetic felt is applied to the entire roof surface that is not already covered the the Winter Guard ice and water shield.
