When a Granger, Indiana, homeowner noticed her roof was showing its age, she knew it was time to act. Her goal was a quality shingle roof that matched her home's exterior and put an end to her moisture concerns for good. Equity Roofing handled the full replacement, addressing not just the shingles but the ventilation, flashing, and water-protection details that make a roof perform for the long haul.
The Challenge
Years of wear had taken a visible toll on this home's roof. Granule loss and exposed fibers signaled that the shingles had reached the end of their lifespan, and active leaking confirmed that moisture was already finding its way in. Beyond the surface damage, the existing ventilation system wasn't up to par and would need a replacement vidge vent to improve it.
The Solution
Equity Roofing performed a full single-layer tear-off and replacement across 33 squares, with careful attention to protecting the property throughout the process. The deck was covered with a protective mesh, and landscaping was shielded with tarping. Outdoor furniture on the back porch was relocated during installation and returned to its original placement once the work was complete.
Before new shingles went down, the team addressed the decking as needed to ensure a solid foundation. Ice and water shield, and new siding flashing, were installed to add protection against leaks. All pipe boots received new installations to properly seal every roof penetration.
A new ridge vent was installed to replace the outdated system, improving ventilation and helping regulate attic temperature and moisture levels year-round. Gutters were cleaned as part of the scope, and drip edge was installed in a custom color per project specifications.
The project was completed with Owens Corning Duration shingles in Teak, chosen specifically to complement the home's existing exterior.
The Results
This homeowner went from a roof past its prime to a fully replaced system built to last. The ventilation has been upgraded, and every penetration point has been properly sealed. Her roof now matches the look of her home exactly as she envisioned. Her investment is protected by the Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty, covering both materials and workmanship for long-term protection.
