In the serene neighborhood of Great Falls, Virginia, nestled within Fairfax County, a residential homeowner faced a pressing roofing challenge. Their two-story mansard-style roof, adorned with cedar shakes, had weathered the elements to the point of heavy deterioration. Wind damage, splintered wood, and the ever-present threat of water infiltration were just a few of the concerns plaguing this homeowner.
In their quest for a durable and visually appealing roof replacement solution, they turned to NOVA ROOFTEK, a trusted roofing contractor in Great Falls VA. This case study delves into the intricacies of the project, highlighting the specific challenges encountered, the innovative solutions devised, and the remarkable results achieved.
The roof inspection unveiled a myriad of challenges. Wind damage had taken its toll on all slopes, while the cedar shakes were in a deplorable state, making them susceptible to further damage from water infiltration. Additionally, the ridge cap shakes were compromised, exposing the ridge line. To mitigate further damage, a temporary tarp had been installed at the time of inspection.
The project required meticulous attention to detail. Replacing the cedar shakes demanded a delicate touch, as did removing the old roof without causing any property damage. Capping each window with aluminum was a unique task, all while working on scaffolding. NOVA ROOFTEK's expert team rose to the occasion, completing the project one day ahead of schedule without compromising safety or quality.
The choice of Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® Designer Storm Cloud Architectural shingles was pivotal for this roofing project. These shingles are renowned for their longevity and visual appeal, boasting a 35-year lifespan that exceeds standard shingles.
Their architectural design adds dimension to the roofline, enhancing the overall aesthetics. This durable and popular choice offers multiple color options, ensuring a seamless integration with the home's exterior.
Asphalt shingle roofs are favored for their affordability, ease of installation, and durability.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation. The new Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® Designer Storm Cloud Architectural shingles breathed new life into their home. The roof's enhanced aesthetics and long-lasting durability provided peace of mind, knowing that their investment would stand the test of time.
