A historic home built in 1909 requires a roofing system capable of protecting it from the extreme conditions that homeowners in Fargo, ND experience year after year. John’s roof had reached the end of its lifespan after enduring decades of harsh Midwest storms, ice buildup, wind damage, and temperature swings. The aging asphalt shingles were heavily battered and no longer provided reliable protection against water intrusion. Wanting a permanent solution, John reached out to Vita Roofing for a complete roofing inspection and expert guidance.
Following a detailed evaluation of the roof and exterior conditions, the Vita Roofing team provided John with a full assessment outlining the storm damage and overall deterioration. Because of the home’s age and exposure to severe weather, a Standing Seam Metal Roof was recommended as the best long-term investment. The roofing crew began by removing the old shingles and underlayment while carefully protecting the property with tarps and debris containment measures to preserve the landscaping around the home.
Once the roof deck was prepared, Vita Roofing installed Owens Corning Titanium High Temp Ice and Water Underlayment to provide advanced moisture protection beneath the new roofing system. The installation also included precision-fit seamless metal panels, metal trims, fasteners, rivets, and penetration flashings for maximum durability and weather resistance. The finished metal roof not only improved the home’s appearance but also delivered the strength and energy efficiency needed to handle Fargo’s demanding climate for years to come.
