Architectural Shingle & Skylight Replacement

Old 3 tab shingle roof replaced with new architectural shingle. This was a complete roof replacement including the skylight as well.

The Challenge

The existing 3-tab shingle roof showed significant aging with granule loss, curling shingles, and an outdated skylight that was leaking during rainstorms. The homeowner needed a comprehensive roof replacement to address both the failing roofing system and skylight issues before interior damage occurred.
