For JACCO, roofing usually comes up as part of a larger build. An addition, a screened porch or a covered deck needs a roof that sheds water, matches the house and joins the existing roofline without creating a valley that collects debris or a flat spot that holds water. Getting that right is a framing and design problem before it is a shingle problem: pitch, overhangs, how new rafters bear on the old wall, and where the flashing goes.

Farmhouses complicate this in interesting ways. A house that has been added onto over several generations may carry three or four roof pitches, a porch roof that has started to sag, and metal over one section with shingles over another. Before designing a tie-in or pricing a replacement, we look at the decking from the attic where we can, note soft spots, check how the existing roof is ventilated, and decide whether new work should match what is there or whether the whole roof is due.

When full replacement is the right answer for a Cottontown home, JACCO performs or coordinates it as the general contractor: tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, flashing at walls, valleys and chimneys, ventilation and the finished roof covering, with the yard swept for nails at the end. Asphalt shingles and metal each have a place, and we talk through the trade-offs with you. Details are on our residential roofing page.
