Timberline HDZ: The Best Shingle in Its Class

Timberline HDZ shingles set the standard for performance and style. With advanced LayerLock™ technology, superior wind resistance, and a bold, dimensional look, they deliver unmatched durability and curb appeal—making them the top choice for homeowners who won’t settle for less.

Replace Your Roof?

Any damage or signs of wear call for immediate action to keep water from seeping under the shingles and rotting the wood sheathing beneath. Ignoring a problem—even what appears to be a small one—will accelerate the need to reroof and can add hundreds of dollars to the cost of a new roof.

Proper safety pre-cautions for steep pitches

 

If your roof is more than 20 years old and most of the shingles are damaged or badly worn, it’s time to replace it. Lets take you through the three most-common ones: replacing asphalt shingles; gluing down a badly curled shingle; and repairing shingles that have cracked.

If a shingle is damaged, the whole piece must be replaced. First, check for leftover shingles from the last roof job, or buy a bundle from a home center or lumberyard, choosing the closest color match if needed. You’ll need a hammer, flat pry bar, utility knife, and 1¼-inch roofing nails. Each shingle has four nails, plus nails from the course above securing its top edge. To remove it, gently lift the shingle above to expose the nails, pry each nail under the damaged shingle about ¼ inch, press the shingle down, then pull them out. Repeat for the nails under the shingle above, and once all eight nails are removed, pull out the damaged shingle.

As asphalt shingles age, their corners may start to curl upward or downward. To prevent further curling, apply a dab of roofing sealant under the affected corner using a caulking gun, then weigh it down with a brick. Leave the weight in place for at least 24 hours until the sealant dries, and the shingle will stay flat.

Old Gutters vs New Hanger System

Switching from nail-mounted to hanger-supported gutters prevents detachment and protects fascia boards from rot. Consider 6″ gutters with 4″ downspouts for improved water drainage.

Gutters and Gutter Guards

Installing a gutter guard will allow you piece of mind for many years to come without the hassle of hiring a handyman to clear your gutters and clogged downspouts.

Skylights

Proper skylight replacement prevents leaks by using custom flashing and a rubberized barrier for double protection, unlike standard methods relying on caulking or old, bent flashing.

"I highly recommend ElevationBuild! I just bought my townhouse in November and was in desperate need of a new roof. Max and his team were incredibly thorough in explaining the project from start to finish, the benefits of the products they use and costs. They assisted me with navigating the process with both my home insurance company and HOA, along with answering any questions I had along the way. Each team that came out to my home was friendly, on time and thorough in their work - all during this strange time of quarantine. The finished result provided me far more than a new roof - I am 100% confident in all of the work that has been done, knowing it will last for years and years to come. And it looks amazing!"
