Roof Replacement & Fascia Repairs in Goffstown, NH – Williamsburg Gray Finish

What did this Goffstown homeowner want to accomplish?

A clean, classic-looking roof replacement on a home in Goffstown, with attention to the details that often get overlooked — namely the fascia boards and the penetration seals. The homeowners chose Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® shingles in Williamsburg Gray, and while we were at it, we addressed the fascia and made sure every pipe penetration was properly sealed for the long term.

Why Williamsburg Gray for this Goffstown home?

Williamsburg Gray is a cool, blue-undertoned gray that sits in the classic range of Owens Corning’s color palette. It does not read as dramatic or bold, but it has real character — the blend adds dimension and depth that a flat gray does not have. For the older New England home style common in Goffstown, it is a color that feels appropriate without drawing attention away from the rest of the exterior. The homeowners wanted a timeless look that they would not want to change in ten years, and Williamsburg Gray delivers that.

What underlayment protects this roof?

Under the shingles, we installed RhinoRoof U20 synthetic underlayment across the full field. RhinoRoof is a woven synthetic product that outperforms traditional felt underlayment in several ways:

• Does not absorb moisture or wrinkle when wet during installation
• Significantly more tear-resistant, which matters when the crew is walking on it during installation
• More UV-stable if the roof needs to sit exposed for any reason during the project
• Lighter weight with better slip resistance than older felt products

For New Hampshire’s conditions, synthetic underlayment is the correct choice on a replacement of any quality level.

Why do fascia boards fail, and what does repair involve?

Fascia boards run along the lower roofline edge and are where gutters are hung. They are exposed to runoff from the roof, splash-back from the gutters, and in colder climates, the freeze-thaw cycling that works water into any painted wood surface. Over time:

• The paint cracks and allows moisture into the wood grain
• The boards begin to rot, usually from behind where the issue is not visible until it is significant
• Rotted fascia boards cannot hold gutter hangers securely, leading to gutters pulling away from the house

On this project we repaired and reinforced the existing fascia before re-hanging the gutter system. This is the point in a roof replacement when fascia repair is most practical — the gutters come off for the roofing work anyway, so addressing the fascia at the same time costs significantly less than a standalone fascia project later.

Why replace rubber pipe boots with Ultimate Pipe Boots?

Every plumbing vent penetration through a roof is a potential leak point. The standard collar that seals these penetrations — a rubber boot over a metal flange — has a limited service life. Rubber degrades through UV exposure and repeated freeze-thaw cycling, eventually cracking and pulling away from the pipe. Ultimate Pipe Boots are a more durable system designed to last through the full life of the new shingle installation. When you are investing in a replacement, it makes no sense to leave behind components that will fail in a fraction of that time.
