Goffstown Roof Replacement

What happened on this Goffstown roof project?

A complete roof replacement in Goffstown, wrapped up in a single day. That is a detail worth noting not as a sales point, but as a practical indicator: when a crew is organized and experienced on a job this size, a one-day completion is achievable. It means one day of disruption for the homeowner instead of two or three, and a home that is fully closed in before nightfall.

What shingles and colors were installed?

The homeowner chose Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® shingles in Onyx Black, finished with matching black drip edge along the entire roofline. Onyx Black gives the home a bold, sharp contrast that reads well from the street — particularly against lighter siding or natural wood tones. The matching drip edge completes the look by eliminating the visual interruption of a mismatched edge color.

What does the waterproofing system look like under the shingles?

The shingles are only as good as what supports them. On this Goffstown replacement, the full system from the deck up consisted of:

• Titanium PSU30 ice & water shield at the eaves, valleys, and every penetration — a self-adhering membrane that creates a sealed, secondary waterproof layer in the areas most exposed to ice dams and driven rain
• Synthetic underlayment across the remainder of the roof field — more durable and tear-resistant than felt paper, and it does not absorb moisture or buckle during installation
• Ultimate Pipe Boots at every plumbing vent penetration, replacing the standard rubber boots that fail over time from UV and freeze-thaw cycling
• Black drip edge along the full perimeter

What did the tear-off and deck prep involve?

Before any new material went on, we stripped the old roof system completely and inspected the underlying deck. This is not optional on a responsible replacement — it is the step that determines whether the new roof starts on a solid foundation or is hiding a problem from day one. Any areas of the sheathing that showed soft spots, deterioration, or nail-pull damage were addressed before the underlayment went down. The premium synthetic underlayment then went in across the full field before the shingle installation began.

Why does a continuous ridge vent make a difference in New Hampshire?

Attic ventilation is one of those things that does not get discussed much until something goes wrong. The ridge vent system on this home runs the full length of the peak, allowing warm attic air to escape evenly along the entire ridge. Here is why that matters in Goffstown specifically:

• In summer, a well-ventilated attic stays closer to outdoor temperature, which protects the shingle adhesive and extends shingle life — heat buildup from below degrades shingles faster than UV exposure from above
• In winter, keeping the attic cold prevents the freeze-thaw cycle that creates ice dams — warm air escaping through an unventilated attic melts roof snow, which refreezes at the cold eaves and backs water under the shingles

Installing the ridge vent is a modest cost relative to a full replacement, and it pays back in shingle longevity and ice dam prevention over the life of the roof.
