The second roof on the same road.

Three hundred feet down the road from the Charcoal replacement sits a second home we put a roof on — a large brick-and-stone two-story with an arched stone entry, an octagonal turret on the front corner, a dormer over the garage wing, and a stamped-concrete walk that wraps the whole front bed.

That's not a coincidence of geography. Storms don't pick one house. When a system tracks across open country south of Bellefontaine, it hits everything in the corridor — and the homes with the most exposure take the most damage. Two neighbors, one weather event, two claims.

From the driveway this reads as a big, handsome roof. From above it's a different story: the octagonal turret alone puts eight separate planes into one small area, every one of them meeting the main hip at a different angle. Add the arched entry gable, the dormer, the garage-wing hip, and the step-downs off the back, and you have a roof where the flashing and the cut lines matter more than the field does.

A turret is where you find out whether a crew measures or eyeballs. Eight facets have to close on a point. If the coursing drifts even slightly on the way up, it shows at the peak — and it shows forever.

The same full GAF certified system we put on the neighbor's house: GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles, rated to 130 mph when installed as a complete system with the required accessories, with 25 years of StainGuard Plus algae protection and a 50-year shingle warranty.

Ridge vent along the main runs, paired with soffit intake. New step flashing at every wall intersection — and on a house with this much wall-to-roof contact, that's a lot of step flashing. New pipe boots. Cap shingles finishing every hip, ridge, and turret facet.

The color went darker and cooler than the neighbor's Charcoal — a deliberate difference. This elevation carries far more stone, and stone reads cool. A warmer or lighter field would have left the roof floating above the house instead of sitting on it.

Two roofs on one road in a single season is the version of this business that actually works. Nobody on that road hired us off an ad. They hired us because the work was happening three hundred feet away and they could walk down and look at it.
