Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as roofing contractors in South Bend Indiana was hired to assist this homeowner to replace her roof who’s age was unknown as the homeowner had just purchased the home in 2014. The gutters were in disrepair, the roof had several areas that suggested that the roof had leaked in several different areas and had many exposed fasteners. The gutter system had many areas where you could tell where the downspouts had become clogged due to an open gutter and the water had backed up and drained out through the seams in the downspouts. The old gutter systems downspouts also drained into underground landscaping hoses. The attic was clean and dry however, during the roofing process we had to adjust the insulation where the roofs truss’s met the top wall plate and overhang area. Whoever, installed the original insulation had closed up some of the area where the soffit vents were located. There was slight evidence of hail damage to the metal roof static vents on the roof. We replaced those with the CertainTeed Ridge Vent. There were also several areas where the decking was delaminated and rotted due to a lack of proper ventilation and ice backing up under the shingles at the eave edges. The homeowner was also in the process of having some of the trees trimmed back to prevent future moss from growing on the new shingles.

Underlayments:
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper Winter Guard Ice & Water Shield
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper uses CertainTeed’s WinterGuard waterproofing shingle underlayment which 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 & Gutter Topper 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 Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper 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.
