Products Installed: CertainTeed NorthGate SBS Modified Heather Blend Lifetime Warranty Rubber Shingles with the Heat Deflector Insulation, White Seamless Gutters and Royal Brown Lifetime Warranty Needle Guard

Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as roofing contractors inStevensville Michigan installed a new roof, insulation, gutters and Gutter Topper protection on this house. What condition was the existing roof in? It had leaks over the bedroom, lack of peoper exhaust venting, intake vent blockage and an insufficient number of exhaust vents. Static vents were removed for filtered ridge vents and heat deflector insulation was installed to ensure proper distribution of air ventilation. To top off the roof, CertainTeed’s NorthGate SVS Modified Lifetime Warranty Rubber Shingles, in the color heather blend.

As for the gutter situation? Pine Needles were clogging the gutters and the whole gutter system was fastened by an outdated process with spikes and ferules. This old way to attach gutters to houses has been modernized to an inside gutter hanger. The antiquated spike and ferule procedure involved driving a spike into the wood along the edge of the roof. This leaves no room for adjustment to the gutter as well as setting up the attachment for downfall once the spike hole has been worn. To avoid this an inside gutter hanger is clipped onto the gutter and a deck screw is driven through it into the rafter tail. We securely adhere the gutter to roofline by uniting the trusses rafter tail to the inside hanger. The gutter is then open to adjustment and will slide back an forth.
