Problem: Replacing an Aging Roof After Concerns of Possible Hail Damage

The homeowner wanted to proactively replace an aging asphalt shingle roof after noticing signs of wear and possible hail-related damage. Rather than waiting for additional deterioration, they chose a complete replacement designed to improve long-term protection and increase the home’s resilience against Flagstaff’s seasonal weather conditions.

During the evaluation, it was also noted that the existing roof lacked eave drip edge flashing, which had allowed water to contribute to fascia deterioration over time. Correcting these deficiencies and strengthening vulnerable roof areas became an important part of creating a more complete and weather-resistant roofing system.

Solution: Installing a Complete CertainTeed Architectural Roofing System

After removing the existing single-layer asphalt shingle roof down to the decking, Hale’s Roofing installed a complete CertainTeed roofing system following manufacturer specifications, with every component selected to maximize durability, moisture protection, and long-term performance in Flagstaff’s high-elevation environment. CertainTeed Landmark Limited Lifetime architectural shingles were installed over CertainTeed Roof Runner synthetic underlayment, with self-adhering ice and water barrier applied along all roof edges, valleys, and the extended porch roof where the pitch changes.

The crew installed CertainTeed SwiftStart starter shingles and Shadow Ridge ridge cap shingles, then added new drip edge flashing to improve water management and help protect the fascia boards — directly addressing the deficiency found during the evaluation. New pipe flashings, sealants, flashing cement, and additional waterproofing components were installed as needed, and the project finished with a full cleanup and removal of all roofing debris from the property.

Result: A Durable Roofing System Built for Flagstaff’s Climate

The completed roof replacement provides the homeowner with a modern architectural shingle roofing system engineered to perform in Flagstaff’s high-elevation environment. Enhanced moisture protection, upgraded flashing components, and premium synthetic underlayment work together to safeguard the home against future weather exposure while helping reduce the potential for future fascia damage.

Beyond improving the home’s appearance, the new system delivers lasting peace of mind through enhanced durability, improved drainage, and dependable protection. Installed as
