This one's done. We just wrapped up a full roof replacement on this home and we're fired up about how it turned out. Onyx Black Duration shingles from Owens Corning - one of the sharpest color choices you can make for a home like this.
Here's what makes this job stand out. The shingles we used carry a 50-year rating. That's not a marketing number - that's genuine long-term protection backed by one of the most trusted names in roofing. Duration shingles are built with SureNail Technology, which means better wind resistance and a stronger hold across the entire roof deck.
The flat section got its own treatment. We ran a 3-layer DeckSeal system on it, which is exactly what a flat or low-slope area needs. Flat roofs are a different animal - they sit with standing water longer, they flex with temperature changes, and they fail fast if the waterproofing isn't done right. Three layers of DeckSeal means that section is sealed properly and built to hold up over time.
We're also putting together drone footage of the full process on this one. There's a lot that happens between tear-off and finished product that most homeowners never see - and we think it's worth showing. Stay tuned for that.
At Guildcraft Exteriors, we don't cut corners on material selection or installation. When you're putting a 50-year roof on a home, every layer underneath it matters just as much as what you can see from the street.
