When one powerful storm after another roll through Moorhead, it has left Sarah’s roof battered and unreliable. Missing shingles and hidden leaks made it clear she needed more than a quick repair, she needed a full replacement. Vita Roofing stepped in with a proactive approach, starting with a detailed wintertime assessment. Even in cold conditions, their experienced team evaluated the roof’s integrity, identifying storm damage and planning a complete asphalt shingle replacement tailored to Minnesota’s demanding weather.
As conditions improved and the snow receded, the crew mobilized with precision. They first set up tarps to protect Sarah’s property and contain debris throughout the project. The old roofing materials were stripped away completely, exposing the decking beneath. Every inch was inspected, and any soft or rotted wood was replaced to restore structural integrity. Building from the base up, the team installed ice and water barriers along the eaves and valleys, key defenses against freezing temperatures and water intrusion—then covered the remaining surface with a high-quality synthetic underlayment to provide an additional layer of protection.
Attention to detail defined the finishing stages. Aluminum drip edge was added around the entire roofline to guide water away effectively, while starter shingles were installed along the edges to enhance wind resistance and ensure proper sealing. The final touch was a full installation of IKO Dynasty Class-3 asphalt shingles, chosen for their strength, weather resistance, and long-term performance. By the time the project was complete, Sarah’s home didn’t just look better, it was fortified with a durable, modern asphalt roofing system built to handle everything from heavy snow to summer storms.
