Roof Replacement in Harleysville, PA Using CertainTeed Architectural Shingles
XL Home Improvements recently completed a roof replacement in Harleysville, PA on a Gambrel-style home with aging shingles that no longer provided reliable protection.
The homeowner wanted a long-term solution that would improve both durability and overall appearance.
After inspecting the roof and reviewing options, we recommended a full replacement along with new skylights and an updated gutter system.
Inspection and Project Planning
During the inspection, our team identified worn shingles across multiple sections of the roof. On a Gambrel-style roof, consistent performance across both slopes is important, and the existing materials showed clear signs of aging.
We also reviewed the condition of the existing skylights and chimney area to plan for proper integration with the new roofing system.
Step 1: Removing the Old Roofing System
Our crew began by removing the existing shingles and underlayment to expose the roof deck. This allowed us to inspect the structure underneath and confirm it remained solid.
We replaced any weakened decking and ensured all transition areas, including around the chimney and skylights, were properly prepared for installation.
Step 2: Preparing the Roof
After securing the deck, our team installed new underlayment across the entire roof surface. This layer helps protect the home from moisture and provides a reliable base for the new shingles.
The multiple slopes of the Gambrel roof required careful attention to ensure proper coverage and sealing.
Step 3: Installing the New Roof and Upgrades
The homeowner selected CertainTeed architectural lifetime shingles, which provide strong durability and a clean, dimensional appearance.
We also replaced the existing skylights with new Velux skylights, improving natural light while ensuring a proper seal with the new roofing system. In addition, we installed new gutters and downspouts to improve drainage and protect the home’s exterior.
Our crew completed the installation with ridge caps, flashing, and ventilation components to ensure long-term performance.
Finished Roof Replacement in Harleysville PA
The completed project provides a durable roofing system designed to handle Pennsylvania weather while improving the overall look of the home.
The updated skylights and gutter system add both function and value, giving the homeowner added confidence in their investment.
