Photo Album: Asphalt Shingle Replacement in West Fargo, ND | IKO Nordic Shingles

When Michell needed to contact a roofing contractor for a roof replacement, the homeowner trusted Vita Roofing, recognized locally for honest communication, quality craftsmanship, and roofing systems built to last. From the beginning, the crew protected the property with tarps and meticulously removed the old roof down to its decking, replacing any soft or rotted wood to ensure a solid base. As part of Vita Roofing’s integrated, leak-proof approach, Sealoron XT Ice & Water Shield was installed on all eaves and valleys with Sealoron XT Deck Tape sealing every seam, going beyond the basics to defend against moisture intrusion in North Dakota’s harsh climate.   Next came the underlayment and moisture defense layers that set this job apart. VeloraONE synthetic underlayment was laid across the roof for superior strength and walkability, secured with plastic-cap fasteners, followed by a 1-3/4" aluminum drip edge that guides water safely from the roof’s edge. Starter shingles went down on all eaves and rakes before the centerpiece: IKO Nordic shingles, chosen for their Class 4 impact rating, increased thickness, upgraded tar and nailing strips, and built-in algae resistance, high-performance features perfectly suited to withstand snow, wind, hail, and sun while enhancing curb appeal.     The final touches brought function and beauty together. Durable penetrations were sealed with Perma-Boot flashings, roof ventilation was optimized with low-profile Omni Roll ridge vents, and IKO Hip & Ridge shingles capped every peak for added durability and UV protection. Throughout the process, Vita Roofing stayed true to the Klaus Roofing Way: quality steps at every layer, clear communication, and a thorough cleanup to match the stunning installation. The result: a roof that not only looks great in your photo gallery but is built to protect this home for decades.
