Wind damage during a storm lifted several shingles on this Massillon home, and the homeowner decided that patching was not the right answer. The roof had reached the point where a full replacement made more sense, and the homeowner used the opportunity to upgrade to a better product with a more dimensional appearance than the original shingles.
Timing was the primary challenge. Silver Leaf carefully coordinated the tear-off and installation to avoid leaving the decking exposed during unpredictable spring weather. The enhanced underlayment was installed first to provide an additional layer of protection during the transition. Ventilation upgrades were included in the project to improve airflow and support the long-term performance of the new roof system. The Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Designer shingles in Storm Cloud were then installed across the full roof, which features multiple gable peaks and a dimensional profile that benefits from the added depth the Designer series provides.
The finished roof carries a noticeably more defined appearance from the street. The Storm Cloud color complements the home’s warm brick exterior and cream siding without competing with either, and the roof replacement Massillon, Ohio, homeowners pursue after storm damage was completed here with materials that exceed the protection level of what came before. The ventilation upgrades and enhanced underlayment mean the new roof is built to perform well beyond the next storm season.
