Project Coordinated by KVN Construction TeamCompleted Roofing Project on Garfield St in the Greater Longview, WA Area
Project Overview
KVN Vancouver Roofing completed a full roof replacement on a classic hip-roof home on Garfield St in Longview, WA. Moss had spread between the old asphalt shingles, and a leak in the attic had the homeowner worried about water damage. In Longview’s long, wet winters, moss holds moisture against the roof and lifts the shingles, which lets water work its way underneath.
This home’s roof has several hips, two dormers and a brick chimney, so there are many spots where water can get in if the details aren’t done right. Our team tore off the old roof down to the decking, checked for damage, and installed a new Malarkey asphalt shingle roof with new flashing and ventilation to stop the leak and protect the home for years to come.
- Project type: Full roof replacement (asphalt shingle)
- Location: Longview, WA 98632
- Company: KVN Vancouver Roofing
- Roof style: Hip roof with two dormers and a brick chimney
- Main concerns: Moss growth between shingles and an active attic leak
- Homeowner goals: Stop the leak, prevent future moss and moisture problems, and update the look of the home
Roof Replacement Results and Weather Protection
The leak is fixed, and the roof is now sealed at the spots where older roofs usually fail. New flashing around the brick chimney keeps water from running down behind the masonry, and each dormer and hip was detailed so rain sheds off instead of collecting. New roof vents let warm, damp air out of the attic, which helps prevent the condensation and moisture buildup that moss and rot thrive on.
From the street, the dark gray shingles give this home a clean, updated look that goes well with its light siding and trim. The homeowner now has a roof built for Southwest Washington rain, plus peace of mind that the attic will stay dry.
