Roof Replacement Photo Album: Flat EPDM and Asphalt Roof Repalcement in Grand Forks, ND | Klaus Roofing IKO Dynasty Shingles
Jenna’s roof replacement wasn’t just about upgrading shingles; it was about protecting her entire home. Following the comprehensive roofing philosophy seen with companies like Vita Roofing, we approached her project as a complete system rebuild from the decking up.
Before the tear-off began, we carefully placed tarps to protect her property and control debris. The old roofing materials were removed entirely down to the decking, giving us a clean slate. Upon inspection, we found and replaced sections of soft or compromised decking to ensure long-term structural integrity. For the sloped areas, we installed IKO Dynasty shingles engineered with Class 3 impact resistance, algae protection, upgraded sealing tar strips, a reinforced nailing strip, and increased thickness for superior durability.
The flat roof section required a specialized EPDM system, which included the EPDM membrane, edge metal, screws and plates, bonding adhesive, and tapered Poly ISO foam to ensure proper water runoff. We also replaced or reset two skylights, installed new pipe boots, properly sealed the sun tunnel, and incorporated ½” HD Poly ISO insulation. Jenna’s home is now equipped with a roofing system designed to handle harsh weather while enhancing efficiency and curb appeal.
Skylight needs repair
While replacing the flat roof, we resealed the skylights, ensuring a proper seal and water proof.
Water is pooling on the old rof
One of the reasons Jenna needed an assessment of her roofing issue was the constant water problems. The roof started to warp and create small crevices that wouldn't allow the water run off properly.
Damaged asphalt seam
While inspecting the roof, we came across a few shingles that had separated seams. Water loves the opportunity to penetrate through.
Torn shingle
After years of storm damage, the asphalt is starting to tear away during heavy wind/rain occurrences.
Damaged asphalt
This was a common situation that plagued the entire roof. Due to hail strikes that caused the initial problem, which only grew bigger over time.
