Project Description
Heritage Renewed: A 1935 Hampton Home Reimagined
A recent project by The Roofing Company, Inc. in Hampton showcases a comprehensive exterior upgrade, demonstrating how quality materials and expert installation can significantly enhance a home's beauty and longevity. Highlighting the project's extensive nature, scaffolding was required to ensure safe and efficient access to all work areas.
The centerpiece of the transformation is a new, robust roof featuring Atlas Pinnacle asphalt architectural shingles in the popular Pristine Black. These shingles offer excellent weather resistance and a visually appealing dimensional style. For added protection, custom-fabricated aluminum drip edge was installed along the roof's perimeter, ensuring proper water runoff.
Elevating the home's aesthetic are the five dormers, now clad in striking Buckingham blue/black S-1 slate. This premium material adds a touch of sophistication and exceptional durability, complementing the main roof beautifully.
Functionality and style were further enhanced with new Nordic Steel 6-inch half-round gutters in black. Demonstrating attention to detail, the homeowner chose contrasting white downspouts, a customizable option offered by The Roofing Company, Inc., to perfectly match the home's color scheme.
The project also addressed other key areas. The small flat roof deck received a durable GAF Liberty 3-ply modified bitumen system for long-lasting protection. Additionally, two old skylights were replaced with new, energy-efficient Velux Skylights, improving natural light inside.
A critical aspect of the renovation involved multiple chimneys. Beyond standard flashing, The Roofing Company, Inc. utilized historically correct lime mortar, tinted red, for the chimney's joints. Unlike traditional cement mortar, lime mortar offers superior breathability and flexibility, crucial for preventing moisture damage and accommodating movement in the chimney structure – benefits that contribute to proven long-term durability.
This Hampton home now boasts enhanced curb appeal, superior protection from the elements, and thoughtfully chosen materials designed for longevity. For homeowners considering similar exterior upgrades, The Roofing Company, Inc. offers the expertise and quality craftsmanship to bring your vision to life.
