From Hail Damage to High-End Slate: A $120k Home Transformation in Mansfield

The Challenge: Beyond Standard Shingles

While many homes in Mansfield utilize traditional shingles, the Hamilton residence required a more sophisticated approach. The existing GAF Slateline roof was failing due to significant granule loss and blistering, a common issue that compromised the home’s protection. This project was a major undertaking involving a steep pitch and the removal of two separate layers of old felt to ensure a clean deck for the new system.

A Multidimensional Restoration: Flat Roofs & High-End Slate Aesthetics

What sets this Mansfield designer roofing project apart is the mix of systems. We didn’t just replace the main roof; we addressed the critical flat modified bitumen sections that were actively posing a leak risk due to advanced wear.

• Belmont IR Upgrade: We moved the homeowner to a Class IV CertainTeed Belmont IR shingle. This delivers a slate-like, modern aesthetic that provides a striking contrast to the home’s off-white stucco.
• Custom Waterproofing: Because of the transition between the flat roof and the steep primary roof, we custom-fabricated metal apron flashings to eliminate long-term leak exposure at these vulnerable points.
• High-Efficiency Airflow: We replaced outdated box and turbine vents with cutting-edge solar-powered vents to maximize airflow and lower cooling costs.

Ensuring the Building Envelope with New Gutters

To finish the project, we executed a full gutter replacement. This ensures that the entire building envelope (from the peaks of the Belmont shingles to the drainage at the foundation) is prepared for the next North Texas storm.
