Roof Replacement on Cobbetts Pond in Windham, NH with Owens Corning Onyx Black Shingles

Project Overview

Compass Exteriors recently completed a full roof replacement on Cobbetts Pond in Windham, NH, using Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles in Onyx Black with matching black drip edge. This color combination continues to be one of the most popular choices for New Hampshire homeowners because it gives the roof a clean, sharp, high-contrast look that works well with a wide range of siding colors and architectural styles. For this Windham roof replacement, the homeowner wanted a roof system that would not only perform well in New England weather, but also look finished from every angle.

That is where the small details matter. One thing Compass Exteriors does differently from many roofing contractors is color-matching the visible roof penetrations whenever possible. Instead of leaving standard white PVC plumbing vents sticking out against a black roof, our team finished the penetrating pipes in black so they blended naturally with the Onyx Black shingles. It is a simple detail, but it makes a major difference in the final appearance of the roof. The Compass crew also installed premium roofing accessories throughout the system, including Dave's drip edge and Ultimate Pipe Boots on all roof penetrations. These components help protect the vulnerable areas of the roof where leaks are most likely to develop over time. By pairing Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles with high-quality flashing, drip edge, and penetration protection, this roof was built as a complete system rather than just a shingle swap. For homeowners around Windham, Cobbetts Pond, and Southern New Hampshire, this project is a strong example of how Compass Exteriors approaches roof replacement: clean workmanship, premium materials, thoughtful details, and a finished product that improves both curb appeal and long-term protection.
