Twelve-year custom home, ridge venting corrected during install.
A 12-year-old custom home running architectural shingles past their service life early. The original installer had skipped ridge ventilation, and the warmer south-facing slope failed first — granular loss visible from the ground, two leaks at chimney transitions during the previous spring. We replaced the full system with Drexel Metals 24-gauge standing-seam in Galvalume, corrected the ridge venting during install, and pulled the original copper valley flashing forward to match the home's existing copper accent details on the dormers. Project ran 11 days, weather-cooperative.
