Defining The Problem

A homeowner in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, approached us with several roofing issues, including: the need for a complete roof replacement, a significantly overheated attic (indicating a need for improved ventilation), damaged trim around the garage door, and the presence of a large algae spot. The situation demanded urgent attention to prevent structural damage, energy inefficiency, and aesthetic deterioration.

Our Proposed Solutions

To address the homeowner’s comprehensive roofing needs, we devised a comprehensive plan:

Focus on Ventilation Improvement:

– The addition of ridge vents to optimize airflow.

– Installing soffit vents and baffle channels for enhanced ventilation efficiency.

– Adding new bathroom vents appropriately vented through the roof.

– Replacing the existing box vent with a ridge vent to eliminate heavy condensation during winter and installing a power fan in the attic for improved ventilation.

Quality Materials and Techniques:

– Employing high-quality materials like synthetic felt underlayment and double-layer shingles for durability and longevity.

Improved Overall Aesthetic:

– Addressing roof condition by replacing shingles and plywood in any compromised areas, replacing broken / damaged trim, and removing algae.

Remove All Existing Shingles

– Home had two layers of existing shingles which added to the weight of the original roof and likely trapping heat. We planned to remove all shingles and replace with a single layer of GAF.

What Could Happen if This Problem is Not Addressed

Neglecting the roofing issues could lead to severe consequences:

Structural damage due to the compromised integrity of shingles.

Increased energy bills and discomfort due to poor ventilation and insulation.

Further deterioration of the roof’s condition, resulting in leaks, water damage, and mold growth.

Reduced curb appeal and property value due to the presence of algae and damaged trim.

How Holda Solved the Problems

Through strategic planning and meticulous execution, we effectively tackled the homeowner’s roofing challenges:

A total roof replacement was completed which included GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in their Barkwood color, repairing and replacing trim, and clearing the original algae. Timberline HDZ shingles boast advanced algae protection and include a 25-year StainGuard Plus™ Limited Warranty against blue-green algae discoloration. Proprietary to GAF, their Time-Release Algae-Fighting Technology is engineered with thousands of copper microsites that release algae-fighting copper for long-lasting algae-fighting power. Since keeping the roof algae free was important to this client, GAF was a perfect choice!

The installation of ridge vents, soffit vents, and baffle channels significantly improved attic ventilation, addressing heat buildup and condensation issues.

By utilizing premium materials and advanced techniques, we ensured the longevity and resilience of the new roof.

Transparent communication and proactive engagement fostered trust and satisfaction, leading to a positive experience for the homeowner.

A hallmark of Holda’s commitment to stellar customer service, we built trust through transparency: providing examples of similar projects from our website and inviting the homeowner to witness a current job in progress. We prioritized being punctual and responsive to the homeowner’s queries and concerns throughout the project.
