The Benefits of the Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed Integrity Roof System

A quality roofing system involves the underlayments, shingles, accessory products, and ventilation all working together. Day after day, year after year.

At Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed, we call that the Integrity Roof System

The Integrity Roof System is designed to provide optimum performance — no matter how bad weather conditions are. After all, better quality shingles mean longer-lasting roofs. Add in underlayment and accessory products, and you’ve got a roof system that really works.

When you choose a Dennison Exterior Solutions Integrity Roof System you gain the advantage of having CertainTeed as your single manufacturing source to stand behind its roof system components.

Underlayments:

Dennison Exterior Solutions Winter Guard Ice & Water Shield

Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed’s WinterGuard waterproofing shingle underlayment is the solution for winning the battle against water penetration in your roof’s most vulnerable places. WinterGuard is a composite material of asphalt polymers, formed into a rolled sheet. The asphalt makes it vapor-tight, and the polymers make the asphalt elastic and sticky. This protective barrier is able to stretch and seal around nails driven through it. Placing WinterGuard a minimum of 24″ past the interior wall line at the eave provides your first line of defense.

Dennison Exterior Solutions installs Winter Guard six feet up the roofline from all eave edges, where all lower roofs meet any walls and around all roof ‘ shingle penetrations such as furnace / water heater vent stacks, soil pipes, chimneys, antenna satellite fasteners, skylights and any other protrusions through the roof. This process eliminates all potential future call-backs.

Dennison’s Winter Guard seals the roof against infiltration of water into the home due to ice dams and wind-driven rain that also seals water-tight around each nail that is driven through it. The sand surface of Winter Guard also provides a huge safety factor for installers while walking on top of the shield.

Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed’s Diamond Deck Synthetic Felt

Dennison Exterior Solutions & CertainTeed’s Diamond Deck high performance synthetic felt is applied to the entire roof surface that is not already covered the the Winter Guard ice and water shield. This Best-in-Class underlayments performance in terms of both weather protection and contractor safety is unsurpassed.

Diamond Deck has exceptional dimensional stability compared to standard 15lb or 30lb felt underlayment which can wrinkle when it becomes wet and “telegraph” those wrinkles through to the shingles applied over it detracting from the beauty of your homes new shingles. Diamond Deck eliminates this problem and it special top surface treatment provide excellent slip resistance, even when wet for contractor safety.

Coloma Michigan  Seamless Gutter & Gutter Guard Project

Products Installed: Seamless Aluminum Gutters and Downspouts with Solution Gutter Guards

Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as gutter guard contractors in Coloma Michigan recommended to this homeowner that we install the Solution gutter covers which is part of the Gutter Topper guard family of gutter protection products made and manufactured within the United States of America.

We recommended the installation of the Solution gutter guards based on several environmental reasons and to control costs.

Dennison Exterior Solutions Custom Seamless Gutters & Downspouts

Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Toppers our seamless gutter aluminum coil has a thickness of .027 and is custom formed at your home using our IronMan K-style aluminum extruding seamless gutter machine. Lengths of seamless aluminum Gutters can be run-out to custom fit your homes specifications. Whether it’s a one foot section of gutter or 100 feet or more there are no seams between the end caps or corners.

Dennison Exterior Solutions as seamless gutter contractors we understand how important that the seamless gutters and downspouts blend in with the beauty of your home. That is why we carry over 75 different colors to match your roof, fascia,

trim, siding or brick on your home. With being able to have access to this many colors allows us for example to have the seamless gutters match the fascia on your home while the downspouts may match the color of your walls so that they blend in and are not as noticeable.

Our five-inch seamless gutters are attached with #12 built-in deck screws, which is 25 percent heavier, and features Speed Coating. This quick-screw system allows our installers to find the rafter-tails behind the fascia boards so that the entire screw is anchored to wood.

Dennison Exterior Solutions uses clear 50 Year service life Sealants have a superior ultraviolet resistance, which can be applied in any temperature and has an excellent adhesion properties.

In addition, all of the seamless aluminum accessories that Dennison Exterior Solutions uses are manufactured using quality .027 aluminum such as End Caps, Inside & Outside Miters, Bay Window Miters including our Downspout Tubes which

come in lengths of 10 feet and will be custom cut and installed to meet your homes specifications. Downspouts Tubes may also include “A” and “B” Elbows as well as

Offsets with hidden downspout mounting brackets or straps.

Dennison Exterior Solutions also uses ¼ inch drive stainless steel zip screws that will not rust instead of using pop rivets, which require those fasteners to be drilled out in case there is a need for a repair. With the zip screws we simply unscrew the fasteners, make the repairs and refasten eliminating unsightly holes that may leak.

While the Solution gutter cover was specifically engineered to be installed over your existing gutters however, as seamless gutter specialists new seamless gutters can also be installed.

If your existing gutter system is in relatively good shape Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Toppers installation methods includes a Gutter Tuneup that includes “dry” cleaning out your existing gutters, repitching them where and if they need to be and resealing any leaking seams that the homeowner points out to us. This fee also includes taking over responsibility for your existing gutter system as well if the system is relatively new so that you won’t have to call the original gutter company. We also specialize in installing new seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts as well if you need new gutters.
