How the project started
The recommendation started with the condition.
Insurance wanted a closer look.
After the home was purchased, concerns raised during a home inspection prompted the insurer to request a professional roof inspection. The homeowners called TopDog.
Two hours spent understanding the roof.
We provided a free, detailed inspection lasting approximately two hours. The findings documented the roof’s condition and included an estimate of its remaining service life. We also examined the decking from inside the attic and found it to be in good condition.
Three failing layers came off.
After reviewing the inspection, the homeowners scheduled a replacement. We removed three layers of failing three tab shingles. The old roof had severe weathering and UV damage, nail pops and exposed fasteners. The rake edges also had no drip edge.

What went into this roof
A complete replacement.
Attention to the details.
We installed a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System in Moire Black, along with new perimeter metal, underlayment, chimney flashing and a front rain diverter.
Black drip edge around the perimeter
New black drip edge was installed around the entire roof perimeter, including the rake edges where it had been missing.
VYCOR Select protection
Six feet of VYCOR Select ice and water protection was installed at the eaves, with additional protection at sidewalls and roof penetrations.
CertainTeed RoofRunner
We covered the remainder of the roof deck with CertainTeed RoofRunner synthetic underlayment before installing the new shingles.
New lead chimney flashing
The chimney received new lead flashing as part of the roof replacement.
Moire Black shingles
CertainTeed shingles in Moire Black gave the home a consistent finished appearance across its roof sections.
A new front rain diverter
We installed a new black rain diverter at the front of the home.


Sound decking. Sufficient ventilation.
The decking was in good condition and had been examined from the attic during the inspection. Existing ventilation was sufficient, so no additional ventilation was installed.
Standard CertainTeed warranty
This project was registered with standard CertainTeed warranty coverage. TopDog is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor.

Before you get started
A few practical answers.
Can you inspect my roof if my insurer asks for a report?
Tell us what your insurer is requesting when you contact us. We can review the scope, documentation and any fee before scheduling. The insurer makes the decision about accepting the report.
Does an inspection mean I need a replacement?
No. The condition should guide the recommendation. This Lyman home had widespread deterioration and three layers of failing shingles. A localized problem on an otherwise serviceable roof may have a different solution.
Does every inspection take two hours?
No. That was the approximate time spent inspecting this particular home. The time and scope depend on the property, access and the reason for the inspection.
How much does a roof replacement in Lyman cost?
Roof size, pitch, existing layers, materials, flashing and access all affect the price. Our roof cost estimator can help you begin planning. An inspection and measurement are needed for a final quote.
