Video Description
Three Tree Roofing recently completed a project in Issaquah, Washington, involving an old cedar shake roof that had encountered issues. The team quickly responded to the customer's need, conducting an emergency leak stoppage before beginning the roof replacement process. Initially, the cedar shake roof presented common problems associated with its age and material, prompting the decision for a comprehensive replacement.
The first step involved the removal of the old cedar shake roof, a process that often reveals the absence of plywood underneath. Three Tree Roofing addressed this by installing new plywood across the entire roof deck. This foundational work was crucial before proceeding with the installation of roof underlayments.
The customer opted for CertainTeed Landmark shingles in a Heather Blend, an excellent choice for its resemblance to wood while offering durability and quality. The Landmark Heather Blend shingles were specifically selected for their ability to emulate the weathered appearance of a cedar shake roof, replicating its depth and texture.
Ultimately, the completed roof transformation resulted in a visually striking and functional upgrade. The new roof not only addresses the customer's immediate needs but also enhances the property's aesthetic appeal.
