Suburban Shingle Replacement

Project Overview

Twenty-Year-Old Shingles, Reborn In Three Days

This Dapto family home had original shingles curling at every edge, with granule loss blocking the gutters. Rather than patch year after year, the owners chose a full architectural-shingle replacement.

We stripped to the deck, laid synthetic underlay, installed new architectural shingles with upgraded ridge ventilation, and left the gardens cleaner than we found them.

Location: Dapto, NSW
Scope: Full shingle replacement and ridge ventilation
Materials: Architectural shingles, synthetic underlay
Duration: Three working days, family stayed home throughout

Challenge & Approach

Two Layers Of Old Shingles Hiding Deck Damage

A previous owner had laid new shingles straight over the old ones, doubling the weight and hiding soft decking around the chimney and skylight. We stripped both layers back to timber.

Our approach: replace damaged deck sheets, ice-and-water shield in valleys and penetrations, full synthetic underlay, then architectural shingles with a high-wind nailing pattern and a vented ridge.
