Roof Replacement Photo Album: Residential Shingle Roof Replacement in Texico, NM

A homeowner in Texico, NM was able to get a full roof replacement for her house with the help of her insurance and the hard work of Fortenberry Roofing. Once Fortenberry Roofing sent out their re-roof salesman Robbie, he was able to give a free estimate and communicate with the homeowner's insurance which ultimately helped get this house the roof the homeowner was wanting!

Multiple Asphalt Shingles

This house also had 2 layers of shingles. Both layers needed to be removed in order to install the new roof.

Exposed Gas Exhaust Vent

Without proper flashing around roof vents, there are chances that water and debris can get under the shingles around the vent which could cause future damage to the decking (foundation) of the roof. If vents aren't flashed properly, the roof is at greater risk of acquiring leaks.

Damaged Decking

When the old shingles were removed, the roofing team saw that there were some minor decking issues.

New Decking

Since the existing damage to the decking was minor, the roofing team was able to cut to size the proper amount of OSB to replace it.

Ridge Flashing and Shingle Install

Once the ridge flashing is installed, the new shingles can be installed over it.

Gas Exhaust Vent

The old gas exhaust vent was replaced with a completely brand new one.

After Shot of Complete Re-roof

Compared to the before picture of this house, these new IKO Dynasty Shingles in the color Driftshake look so much better! Along with new shingles, the homeowner wanted proper ventilation installed to keep her home cooler. The roofing team added 3 new vents to the roof along with the 2 that already existed. All 5 vents were covered with turtle vent caps.

A Complete Shingle Roof Replacement

This roof has come a long way! From the initial given estimate to the final sign-off of the completion of the roof, Fortenberry Roofing did its best to provide top-notch service for this homeowner. The end results look awesome!

Before The Re-Roof

Initially, this roof had damage from years of wear and tear from exposure to the elements of weather. Over the years the shingles had lost their color and effectiveness to protect the house that stood under them.

Time to Vent

Here is a picture of an old gas exhaust vent that has begun to rust. Accompanying the vent are multiple discolored shingles that have seen better days.

Shingles at The End of Their Lifespan

These shingles have begun to deteriorate and decay. If they are not replaced, they will rot down to the decking (the foundation of the roof), which will then begin to rot as well (if it already hasn't).

Asphalt Shingles

During the tear-off process, we see that the bottom layer of shingles is in better shape than the top. This is still incorrect roofing, though, so both layers must be removed in order to properly re-shingle the roof.

Tear Off Process of A Re-Roof

Here is a look at the roof after the old shingles were removed. Once the remaining shingle debris is properly disposed of, the re-roof team will nail new underlayment to the roof so the decking (the foundation of the roof) can be more protected from outside factors.

IKO Underlayment

Once the decking was checked and the damaged parts replaced, the roofing team was able to lay down IKO StormTite synthetic underlayment. Along with the underlayment, ice and water shield (also underlayment) were placed around each went to add extra protection from water entering the structure of the roof.

Turtle Vent

Here is another angle of the ice and water shield with a turtle vent installed. This Ice and water shield underlayment ensures that rainwater will not get up under the vent and into the home. The rainwater will do what it's supposed to and roll down the remainder of the shingles.

Full Roof Replacement in Progress

This was a perfect day for a re-roof! In this picture, our roofing team was more than halfway finished laying down the Driftshake (color of shingle) IKO Dynasty Shingles that the owner had chosen.
