Full Roof Replacement Done Right in Greenville SC

Most homeowners never think about what's sitting underneath their shingles. Out of sight, out of mind. But when we tore into this Greenville roof, we found exactly what we were afraid of - no ice and water barrier where it absolutely needed to be. That's a problem. Without it, the eaves and valleys are wide open to water intrusion, and it's only a matter of time before that shows up as a leak inside the home.

Here's what we ended up doing. We stripped everything down to bare decking, then built it back up the right way - starting with proper ice and water barrier at all the vulnerable spots. The underlayment we rolled out across the full deck is a heavy-duty synthetic product that gives you a solid layer of protection before a single shingle ever goes down. We also added box vents to improve attic airflow, which helps regulate heat and moisture year-round. That's the kind of detail that quietly extends the life of a roof.

For the shingles, we went with Owens Corning Duration in Onyx Black. Duration shingles are one of the better products on the market - they carry a strong wind resistance rating and the SureNail technology actually gives the fasteners a more reliable hold than standard shingles. The color works really well on this home too. Dark shingles against the tan and cream exterior give it a clean, sharp look.

What you end up with is a roof that isn't just pretty from the street - it's properly built from the ground up. No shortcuts on the barrier, no skipping the ventilation, no cutting corners on materials. That's what a new roof installation should look like. If your roof is aging or you've got a feeling something isn't right up there, a roof inspection is a good place to start. A lot of issues like this one don't show up until someone actually gets up there and looks.
