When hail and severe storms rolled through Moorhead, MN, homeowner Jaci was left with a damaged asphalt shingle roof that needed more than a quick patch. After noticing the extent of the wear, she turned to Vita Roofing, a trusted roofing contractor serving the Fargo-Moorhead area, for a full roof replacement rather than a temporary repair.
Vita Roofing's team, led by Austin, completed a full tear-off of all existing shingle layers and felt down to the roof deck. Along the way, the crew replaced any rotten OSB and plywood decking, installed new pipe boots with proper re-flashing, and added ice-and-water shield moisture barrier throughout every valley, extending it two feet past the interior wall line for maximum protection against Minnesota's harsh winters.
For the new roofing system, Jaci chose IKO Dynasty Summit Grey Class 3 impact-resistant shingles, a smart choice for a property that had already weathered one hailstorm. The finished roof replacement meets current building code and comes backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty and a 5-year Vita Roofing workmanship warranty, giving Jaci long-term peace of mind after storm damage.
Walking the roof
Austin wanted to provide photos to Jaci so she could see the worn-down sections of asphalt.
Cracked shingles
These shingles are compermised and need immediate attention. If not treated or replaced, moisture will definitely find its way under the shingles and deeper into the structure.
Bowing section of roof
This shows a severely damaged area of the rooftop. You can see the shingles are warped which only points to water issues under the roofing and damaged decking.
Skylight is damaged
The seal is clearly broken, and the skylight will need to be replaced per the inspection.
