Roof Replacement Photo Album: Complete Roof Replacement in Springfield, TN

If you own a historic home, you know that renovation projects never stop. Old houses are always full of surprises, but isn’t it part of their charm? We understand the sentimental value that your historic home represents to you, which is why we always treat each project with care. Our high priority is to protect the surrounding areas with tarps, which stop falling debris from landing on the yard or deck. At the end of each project, we thoroughly clean up and use magnets to pick up all nails around the yard. A family that owns this beautiful historic house outside of Springfield, TN noticed a few defects on the roof. They spotted missing shingles on one side of the roof and water leaking from the porch roof to the sitting area where they like to rest every day. They didn’t want to take any chances – they called Klaus Roofing Systems Nashville and decided on a complete roof replacement. The tear-off day usually reveals more roof damage hidden underneath the shingles. Luckily, in this case, there were no further unwanted surprises. Most of the roof decking was in good condition, only a small area above the gutter experienced water damage and needed to be replaced. After all plywood seams were properly taped, a peel-and-stick ice and water membrane was installed. With a fully adhered membrane, water that gets under the shingles cannot leak in and runs downhill off the edge of the roof. Klaus Roofing Systems Nashville likes to do everything better, therefore, we installed a heavier and wider metal rake and drip edges that guarantee better performance. Finally, the shingles can go up! For Klaus Roofing Systems Nashville, details always matter. When working on roof valleys, we line them with the water and ice membrane first and then install shingles in a “California Cut” shingle pattern. Valleys often become rivers during heavy rains that we experience here in Tennessee, and Klaus wants to guarantee the water or ice will not sit in the valleys but will run off the roof. The historic house now has three new heavy-duty roof boots installed and a brand-new chimney flashing. The ridge vents allow hot air and humidity to escape in the hot summer. This gorgeous historic home is now protected for many more years with a 50-year warranty. That’s what it means to Put a Klaus on Your House!
