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. Project Challenges The existing roof had undergone numerous repairs throughout its lifespan, resulting in: Multiple layers of old asphalt shingles Original wood shake roofing beneath the shingle layers Increased roof weight from accumulated roofing materials Potential ventilation and performance concerns Reduced lifespan of previous roofing systems Hidden substrate conditions that could only be evaluated after removal Our Solution To provide the homeowner with a durable, long-lasting roofing system, Golem Roofing performed a complete tear-off and replacement.
