Project Overview This residential roofing project presented several challenges due to multiple previous roof repairs and the presence of several layers of aging shingles installed over the original wood shake roofing system.

After a thorough inspection, Golem Roofing recommended a complete roof replacement to ensure long-term performance, structural integrity, and reliable weather protection.
