Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Peter recently contacted our team after noticing their aging asphalt shingle roof was showing signs of wear. The roof had begun to lose its protective granules, and a few shingles were curling and cracking, common indicators that a replacement was necessary. After a thorough inspection, we recommended a full roof replacement to restore both the beauty and durability of the home.

Our crew got to work by carefully removing the old roofing system down to the decking, inspecting the wood underneath, and replacing any weak or damaged areas. We then installed a brand-new Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingle system designed to withstand harsh weather while enhancing curb appeal. Every step was completed with precision, and cleanup was handled thoroughly, leaving the property spotless.

The finished roof not only looks stunning but also provides long-lasting protection and peace of mind. With the new shingles in place, the homeowner can feel confident knowing their home is safe from leaks, storms, and future damage. This upgrade also adds value to the property while boosting energy efficiency and curb appeal for years to come.

Vita Roofing recently completed a full roof replacement in Grand Forks, ND, for homeowner Scott, upgrading his home with premium IKO Dynasty Shingles designed to handle North Dakota’s demanding weather. This installation featured a Class 3 impact-rated shingle system, offering enhanced durability against hail and high winds, an essential upgrade for homeowners in the Red River Valley. IKO Dynasty shingles also include built-in algae resistance, increased thickness, an upgraded tar strip, and a reinforced nailing zone, delivering long-lasting performance and superior curb appeal.

The roof replacement process began with thorough site protection, including tarps to safeguard landscaping and contain debris. Vita Roofing removed the existing roofing system down to the decking, performed a detailed inspection, and replaced any soft or damaged decking as needed. For added protection, the team installed two rows of Tri-Built Ice & Water Shield on all eaves and one row in the valleys, followed by TRI-BUILT synthetic roofing underlayment across the remaining roof surface. Aluminum drip edge was installed along the entire perimeter to ensure proper water shedding and protect the fascia from moisture intrusion.

To complete the system, Vita Roofing installed Tri-Built starter shingles along all eaves and rakes to prevent wind uplift, followed by the IKO Dynasty shingles secured with ring shank coil nails for higher wind resistance. Proper ventilation, penetration flashings, and IKO Hip & Ridge shingles were added to ensure long-term roof performance and attic airflow. The project concluded with a meticulous cleanup, leaving Scott’s Grand Forks home with a durable, weather-resistant roofing system backed by expert craftsmanship. This project showcases why homeowners trust Vita Roofing for professional roof replacement services in Grand Forks, ND.

Scott, a Grand Forks, ND homeowner, reached out to Vita Roofing, looking to refresh and protect their home after years of exposure to North Dakota’s unforgiving weather. Decades of hailstorms, heavy snow, driving rain, and strong winds had taken a toll on the roof, leaving it worn and unreliable. A detailed inspection uncovered widespread shingle deterioration, compromised decking, and aging underlayment that could no longer provide adequate protection.

Once the old roofing materials were removed, the full scope of the damage became clear. Several decking boards required replacement, and our team carefully sealed and reinforced those areas to create a solid foundation for the new roof. As part of our commitment to long-term durability, we installed a double layer of ice and water barrier to guard against moisture intrusion during freeze-thaw cycles. Here, we showcase the removal of the old roof, underlayment, and the installation of the new ice & water shield. 

With the new roofing system in place, the home now has both a refreshed appearance and the strength to withstand Grand Forks’ harsh climate. This roof replacement delivers lasting protection and peace of mind, backed by Vita Roofing’s attention to detail and dedication to quality craftsmanship.

In late spring, Vita Roofing arrived at Kevin’s home in Detroit Lakes, MN, to begin the EPDM roof replacement process. The crew started by pressure-washing the existing roof surface to remove dirt, old adhesives, and built-up debris. After the roof was completely cleaned and dried, the current edge metal was carefully removed, and the deck was inspected to ensure it was structurally sound. Once cleared, a ½-inch HD board was installed across the surface, creating a smooth and stable foundation for the new membrane system.

With the base properly prepared, the crew unrolled the EPDM membrane and allowed it to relax and settle into place. A high-strength bonding adhesive was applied to both the HD board and the underside of the membrane. Once the adhesive became tacky, the EPDM was carefully laid into position and smoothed to eliminate air pockets or wrinkles. Screws and plates were used to mechanically secure the system, ensuring long-term stability. Special attention was paid to roof penetrations, where properly sized penetration flashings were installed to create watertight seals around vents, pipes, and any other protrusions.

Once the membrane and flashings were in place, new edge metal was installed around the perimeter to complete the system and give the roof a clean, finished appearance. Before leaving the job site, Vita Roofing conducted a full walk-through with Kevin, inspecting seams, flashings, and terminations for quality and performance. The result was a seamless, uniform EPDM roof built to withstand Detroit Lakes’ changing weather and harsh winters, offering Kevin long-term protection, efficiency, and peace of mind.

When Carl, a homeowner in Frazee, MN, reached out to Vita Roofing for a roof inspection, he knew his home deserved expert attention. His 2-story, 2,800 square foot home was protected by an asphalt roof that was nearly 20 years old, well past the point where Minnesota’s extreme weather can begin to cause costly issues. During our thorough exterior inspection, our team identified significant wear and deterioration that could quickly turn into leaks, water damage, and expensive repairs if left unaddressed. Acting early was the key to protecting Carl’s home and avoiding future headaches.

Our experienced roofing specialist walked the entire property and provided a clear, professional assessment, recommending a solution built for long-term performance. We suggested IKO Nordic Shingles, one of the top Class 4 impact-resistant shingles in the roofing industry.
