This one started with a common situation - an insurance company scoping out a repair when the roof actually needed a full replacement. The hail damage on this Camp Douglas home was significant enough that a patch job wasn't going to cut it long-term. We documented the condition of the roof thoroughly and worked to support a full replacement claim instead. That kind of advocacy matters. A repair might close the claim, but it doesn't always protect the home.
We went with Malarkey shingles in Black Oak for this one. Malarkey is a step above your standard shingle - they're built with a rubberized asphalt that holds up better against impact, which is exactly what you want on a home that's already taken a hail hit. The Black Oak colorway gives the roof a natural, multi-tonal look with that mix of charcoal and warm brown tones running throughout the field.
The details on a job like this are what separate a roof that just looks good from one that actually performs. You can see the ridge cap is laid clean and tight from end to end, the pipe boot flashing is properly seated and sealed, and the ventilation is intact. Every one of those penetrations and transitions is a potential leak point if it's not done right. We don't skip those steps.
The whole thing was wrapped up in a single day. That's not something we rush - it's just the result of having a solid crew that knows what they're doing and shows up ready to work. The homeowner went from dealing with hail damage and an underscoped insurance claim to having a brand new roof in less time than most people expect.
If you've had hail come through your area and you're not sure whether your roof needs a repair or a full replacement, it's worth having someone get up there and take a real look. Insurance scopes don't always tell the whole story.
