Klaus Roofing Systems by Buck Buckley Before & After Photos

In Germantown, WI, a homeowner is seeking a roof replacement and installation. The project involves tearing down a 2"x2" chimney, covering the opening, and installing a new vent. The homeowner is also looking for an estimate on a complete roof replacement, covering a total of 3,665 square feet, with IKO Dynasty shingles in the Driftshake color. The roof's age is unknown, and the homeowner has lived in the house for 10 years. Additional ventilation may also be required.

In Delafield, WI, the homeowners sought a roof replacement for both her house and garage. The existing roof, over 20 years old, had a second layer with a small leak in the garage. Although the decking seemed salvageable, the project involved replacing the roofing with IKO Dynasty shingles in Atlantic Blue. The homeowner has lived in the house for about 30 years. The total area for the replacement is 3080 sq ft, and the project also includes installing large chimney flashing.

The homeowners roof had developed two separate leaks in different areas over the years. 

We re-estimated a project that required a full roof replacement with Emerald Green IKO asphalt shingles. During the assessment, we removed the kickouts and valley controllers due to space constraints. The project also involved replacing term bars with a drip edge, as we wanted to avoid using term bars on this roof. The estimate came in about 1K high on the asphalt side but 1k low on the EPDM side, resulting in a balanced cost. For the DCI smart ridges, Beacon can supply them, but they need to be special ordered.

The homeowner considered reusing the existing drip edge to save costs but ultimately decided to have Leaf guards remove the gutters for 2k. As an engineer, he thoroughly analyzed all options before making a decision. Although he would have liked to eliminate the box vents on the front side, a ridge vent was not feasible due to potential interference with the rubber to asphalt transition. The total roof area for this project is 11.5 SQ.
