Fargo, ND Storm damaged Shingles Replaced

Our team at Vita Roofing recently completed a full roof replacement for Lloyd, a homeowner in Fargo, ND, whose property had sustained storm damage from previous severe weather. After years of battling high winds and heavy storms, his old roof was no longer offering the protection it should, making a full asphalt shingle replacement the best solution.

To begin the project, we carefully set up tarps around the property to safeguard landscaping and structures while ensuring all debris was contained during the tear-off. The old roofing system was completely removed down to the decking, where we performed a full inspection and replaced any soft or rotted sections to create a solid foundation.

For maximum protection, we installed two rows of Sealoron XT Ice and Water along all eaves and one row up the valleys, followed by Sealoron XT Deck Tape on every decking seam. The rest of the roof was covered with Velora One Synthetic Underlayment, creating a durable, moisture-resistant barrier. To guide water safely off the roof, a 1-3/4" T-Style Aluminum Drip Edge was added around the perimeter, and we applied seam tape to the drip edge along the eaves for added defense. Starter shingles were then installed on all rakes and eaves to prepare the roof for its new finish.

Lloyd selected IKO Dynasty Shingles, a premium asphalt shingle known for its Class 3 Impact Resistance, built-in algae resistance, and upgraded tar and nailing strips for superior holding power. These shingles are also thicker than standard designs, giving Lloyd’s home added strength against future storms, a critical upgrade for the Fargo area. Once the shingles were secured, our crew added all necessary penetration flashings, proper venting, and finished the project with a clean installation of hip and ridge caps. We wrapped up with a thorough, detailed cleanup, leaving Lloyd with a roof that not only restores his home after storm damage but also provides lasting peace of mind for the years ahead.
