Here's what a full roof replacement looks like from start to finish. We stripped the old shingles down to bare decking, wrapped the entire house perimeter with protective tarps to catch debris, and got to work. The tearoff stage is where most of the real work happens - and doing it right sets up everything that comes after.

Once the old material was off, we had clean plywood decking to work with. Before a single shingle goes down, we lay synthetic underlayment across the full surface. That layer is your backup defense against water intrusion. We also installed step flashing at every wall transition - those steel pieces you see lined up are what keep water from working its way behind the shingles and into the wall assembly. That's a detail a lot of contractors cut corners on. We don't.

The shingle of choice for this job was IKO Dynasty in Granite Black. These are heavy architectural shingles - thicker than standard 3-tab, with a dimensional shadow line that gives the roof real depth and character. The deep charcoal-black color does something noticeable to a home's exterior. It sharpens everything up. Paired with a proper synthetic felt underlayment installation, this roof is built to handle whatever gets thrown at it.

What we ended up with is a tight, clean installation across a multi-pitch roof. The courses run straight, the hip and ridge lines are crisp, and the flashing details are solid. A roof replacement isn't just about the shingles on top - it's about everything underneath them working together as a system. That's what determines how long it lasts and how well it protects the home.
