Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

This past spring, Vita Roofing completed a full roof replacement for Hannah’s home, delivering a durable and visually striking upgrade using IKO Dynasty Class 3 Impact Rated asphalt shingles. Known for their strength and performance, these shingles were an ideal choice to protect the home against harsh weather while enhancing curb appeal. From day one, the expert roofing professionals at Vita Roofing prioritized care and precision, beginning with the setup of protective tarps around the property to safeguard landscaping, ground structures, and ensure debris was fully contained throughout the project.

Once the aged asphalt shingles were removed, the team carefully tore off the existing roofing system down to the decking. A thorough inspection followed, during which any soft or rotten decking was identified and replaced to create a solid foundation for the new roof. To maximize long-term protection, Vita Roofing installed two rows of ice and water shield along all eaves and one row in every valley, followed by high-quality synthetic underlayment across the remaining roof surface. Aluminum drip edge was installed around the entire perimeter, along with starter shingles on all rakes and eaves to ensure proper water flow and wind resistance.

The project continued with the installation of new penetration flashings, upgraded roof venting, and precision-installed hip and ridge components to complete the roofing system. After the final shingles were secured, the Vita Roofing crew wrapped up with a detailed cleanup, leaving Hannah’s property spotless and the new roof ready to perform for years to come. This spring roof replacement is another example of Vita Roofing’s commitment to craftsmanship, protection, and a stress-free experience for homeowners.

Amador of Fargo, ND, noticed water stains spreading across his sunroom ceiling and knew it was time to call a professional. He contacted Vita Roofing, and in March 2026, our professional roof inspector, Joe, came out to provide a free estimate and a complete, comprehensive roof inspection. After thoroughly evaluating the flat roof over the sunroom, Joe recommended a full flat roof replacement rather than another patch.

The recommended solution was a cured rubber EPDM membrane. EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, has the look and feel of an everyday rubber inner tube, and it is highly resistant to UV radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations. That matters in Fargo, where a flat roof faces brutal winters, hot summer sun, and constant freeze-thaw cycles. EPDM comes in large rolls, so a sunroom roof can be covered with fewer seams, which means fewer places for water to get in.

For homeowners comparing flat roofing materials, EPDM has a strong track record. A well-installed EPDM roof can easily last 20 years with minimal maintenance. If you have a leaky ceiling or an aging flat roof in Fargo, Moorhead, or the surrounding area, Vita Roofing offers free estimates and honest recommendations. 

When Alyssa called Vita Roofing, she explained that her old asphalt shingle roof had become an eyesore. Years of exposure to wind, rain, snow, and sun had left the shingles cracked, faded, and loose. She wanted a roof replacement that would not only improve curb appeal, but also provide better performance and peace of mind. Vita Roofing recommended a complete start-to-finish roof replacement using Class 3 Impact Rated IKO Dynasty shingles.

The project began with the crew protecting the property. Tarps were placed around the home to shield landscaping, outdoor items, and ground structures from falling debris. The old roofing system was then removed down to the decking. With the roof stripped clean, Vita Roofing inspected every section of the decking and replaced any boards that were soft or deteriorated. Taking the time to repair the decking ensured that Alyssa’s new roof would last for years without hidden issues underneath.

Once the deck was ready, the team installed the moisture barriers that are so important in Minnesota’s climate. Two rows of Ice and Water barrier were installed at every eave, and one row was installed through all roof valleys. Synthetic underlayment was then applied across the rest of the roof for an added layer of defense against wind-driven rain and moisture. The roof perimeter was finished with new aluminum drip edge, and starter shingles were installed along the rakes and eaves to provide a stronger seal.

Finally, the crew installed the new IKO Dynasty shingles using a 10-inch offset pattern for a clean, dimensional appearance. These shingles were a perfect fit for Alyssa’s home because they are Class 3 impact-rated and designed with built-in algae resistance to help prevent black streaking. They also feature an upgraded tar strip and upgraded nailing strip that help keep the shingles secure during severe weather. To complete the project, Vita Roofing repaired the chimney flashing, giving Alyssa a roof system that was attractive, durable, and fully protected from top to bottom.

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.
