Completed Roof

The crews from Arry's Roofing Services arrived at 7:15 this morning.  Since the shingles had been delivered just as they were leaving yesterday, everything was in place waiting for them on the roof.  By 10:10 today, the roof -- complete with new soil stack covers, new mast covers (all of which were painted to match the roof), and a new solar attic fan -- was installed and ready to serve us for the next 25 years.

prepped and ready to receive shingles.


Each crew member had his own area in which to work.

Six men were on the roof at one time, so they made short work of laying down the courses of shingles.
This worker fits the shingles around the plumbing
stack for the laundry room area.

Each man had his own section to complete.  They gave special attention to the valleys between the roof lines and to the areas around the pipes.
The solar-powered attic fan will keep the attic nice and cool,
and it will cost us nothing to run.

We opted for a solar-powered attic fan to evacuate hot air from the main attic of the house.  It will automatically turn on when the temperature in the attic reaches 86 degrees.

The crews did an incredible job of cleaning up after themselves.  The yard looked as if no one had ever been here.  They respected our property and took very good care of the yard, gardens, walkways, and driveway.
The root of this problem had to go!

As we were sitting in the patio this afternoon, we noticed a root that seemed to be heading under the patio slab.  I dug around it a little and pulled it up.  Wow!  It went much further than I thought it would.  No problem.  It now rests in our garbage can.

We are pleased with the job Arry's Roofing did in putting a new roof on the house.

The finished house looks good.  The light brown roof has shades of yellow in it which complements the house, and the darker color will not show staining from the trees as quickly as a lighter color would do.  We are happy the job is complete with no problems.  Gladys got her hair redone, and she looks rather nice.
