What the old roof looked like
The starting point was a worn roof with moss growing on the surface and sections of the old covering lifting away. Moss holds moisture against shingles, which is one reason roofs in Ashtabula County wear out faster on shaded slopes. The photos below show the roof as the crew found it, before any new material went on.
How the roof was rebuilt
After tear-off, the crew checked the deck and installed new OSB panels where the old deck needed replacing. Synthetic underlayment then went over the whole deck as a second layer of protection under the shingles. The last step was the shingle field and the flashing where the roof meets the dark exterior wall, which is the spot most likely to leak on a roof like this one.
What a homeowner can take from this job
A new roof is more than new shingles. The deck and the underlayment decide whether the roof keeps water out for decades. When you compare roofing estimates, ask what happens if the deck is damaged and what goes down under the shingles. You can see both steps on this job, in the photos, not just in a quote.
