Multi-Facet Asphalt Roof Replacement With Velux Skylights on Lyford Lane in Brentwood, NH

What Made This Brentwood Roof Replacement Unusual?

Most roof replacements in Brentwood involve a reasonably straightforward roofline. This one on Lyford Lane was different. The home features multiple roof facets, several changes in pitch, existing metal accent roof sections, and multiple skylights — all of which had to be addressed as part of one complete project.

The architecture made the property visually interesting, but it also meant the roofing work required careful planning around transitions, intersections, flashing details, and the areas where asphalt shingles met the existing metal roof sections. Rather than treating each plane as an isolated section, our crew approached the project as one complete roofing system. See our full roof replacement services for more on how we handle complex reroofs.

A Premium Owens Corning Roofing System Throughout

The homeowners chose to replace the existing roof with a premium Owens Corning roofing system, using quality components throughout rather than focusing only on the shingles visible from the ground.

That distinction matters on a home with this many roof facets. Every ridge, transition, penetration, skylight, and change in roof geometry creates another area where installation details become important. On more complex homes, the long-term performance of the roof depends just as much on how those areas are handled as it does on the shingles themselves. A full Owens Corning system — coordinated underlayment, starter strips, ridge cap, and field shingles — provides consistent performance across every section of the roof rather than mixing quality levels between visible and less-visible areas.

This contrasts with simpler projects like our Slatestone Gray re-roof paired with new gutters or the Onyx Black replacement with two Velux skylights — both solid Brentwood jobs, but on homes with more conventional rooflines. Lyford Lane was a step up in complexity.

Working Around Multiple Roof Facets and Metal Accent Roofs

One of the defining features of this Brentwood home was its roof design. The house included numerous roof planes along with existing metal accent roofs, creating a mix of materials and transitions across the exterior.

Where asphalt shingles meet metal roofing, the transition needs to be properly integrated so water continues moving off the roof rather than finding a path behind either roofing system. The same is true anywhere multiple roof planes intersect. Complex rooflines can look impressive from the ground, but they also leave less room for shortcuts — the installation needs to account for the architecture of the home instead of treating the roof as one continuous surface.

• Intersections between roof planes — each valley and hip treated as part of the water-management system
• Changes in roof pitch — transitions planned to shed water correctly across every slope
• Shingle-to-metal transitions — properly integrated so both systems work together
• Ridge and hip details — finished to complement the architecture while sealing the system

Replacing Several Velux Skylights

Several existing skylights were replaced with new VELUX® skylights as part of the roof replacement. When an aging roof and older skylights are both being addressed, replacing the skylights at the same time makes practical sense.

It allows the new skylight units and their flashing systems to be incorporated directly into the new roofing installation rather than disturbing finished shingles later. On a home with multiple roof facets like this one, properly integrating each skylight was especially important. Skylights create penetrations through the roofing system, so the surrounding flashing and roofing materials need to work together to move water safely around the opening. By completing the roof and skylight work at the same time, the homeowners received a more coordinated finished system.

Protecting the Property During Construction

A quality roofing job isn’t only about what happens on top of the house. This Brentwood property had established landscaping surrounding the home, and protecting those areas was an important part of how we approached the project.

Roof replacement involves removing thousands of pounds of shingles, nails, underlayment, flashing, and other materials. Without proper planning, landscaping, siding, decks, and walkways can be damaged during tear-off. Our crews took extra care around the property throughout the project — particularly important on larger, more detailed homes where homeowners have invested significantly in the exterior beyond the roof itself.

What the Completed Project Included

• Premium Owens Corning roofing components throughout — underlayment, starters, field shingles, ridge cap
• Detailed installation across numerous roof planes and pitch changes
• Coordination around existing metal accent roofs with proper shingle-to-metal transitions
• Replacement of several VELUX® skylights integrated into the new roof system
• Protection of landscaping and exterior areas throughout construction
• Thorough cleanup around the property on completion
