For this project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we replaced an aging mansard roof that was originally covered with slate. Due to the condition of the existing roofing and the challenging access to the home, our team performed a complete tear-off and installed a new GAF roofing system designed to provide long-lasting protection, durability, and enhanced curb appeal.
The new roof was finished in GAF Timberline HDZ® Charcoal architectural shingles, giving the home a clean, modern appearance while delivering reliable performance.
The project began with the careful removal and disposal of the existing slate roofing materials. Because the property had limited accessibility and the steep mansard design required extra precision, our crew used specialized techniques to safely remove the old roof while protecting the surrounding property.
Once the slate was removed, we inspected the roof deck and replaced any damaged sheathing as needed to create a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
After preparing the roof deck, we installed a complete GAF roofing system using high-quality materials and manufacturer-recommended installation practices.
The installation included:
Each component works together to provide superior protection against moisture, wind, and harsh weather conditions.
After completing the installation, our team thoroughly cleaned the work area and removed all roofing debris. The new roof was carefully inspected to ensure proper installation, secure flashing, and a clean, finished appearance.
This project transformed an aging slate mansard roof into a durable, modern roofing system built for long-term performance and protection.
