Location: 672 Longwood Drive Sawyer MI  49125

Products Installed: CertainTeed NorthGate SBS Modified Lifetime Warranty Weathered Wood Shingles, Velux Lifetime Warranty Skylights and Heat Deflector Insulation

The older roof of this beach house already had three layers of shingles installed previously with the most recent roof having a significant amount of damage due to an astonishing lack of improper ventilation.  With zero intake vents to feed the exhaust vents, which there were an insufficient number of, there wasn’t any possible way for air to move and flow under the roof deck to keep the decking cool and dry. The result of the improperly installed roof? Crumbling shingles and a roof in shambles. Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as roofing contractors in Sawyer Michigan replaced the roof of this beach house with CertainTeed NorthGate SBS modified Lifetime Warranty Shingles, Velux Lifetime Warranty Skylights and Heat Deflector Insulation. We adjusted the insulation for proper ventilation and installed the correct number of intake, filtered ridge, edge and exhaust vents all of which are essential to the vitality and longevity of this roof.

Underlayment’s

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

Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as Professional Roofing Contractors in Sawyer 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. 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 Roof Repair Contractors in Sawyer Michigan 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.
