Roof Replacement in Ashland, OH July 2026
New GAF Timberline HDZ roof on an Ashland ranch, finished July 2026. A brick chimney, a long run of hips and several roof vents meant a lot of places where water could get in, so the estimate called for new flashing at every one of them.

Scope
What we did
- Flashed the brick chimney, where older roofs leak first
- New boots on the plumbing vents so water can't follow the pipe
- Lined the valleys with metal to give water a hard channel
- GAF ridge vent and box vents to let attic heat escape
- Added gutter guards so leaves stop backing water up

What you are looking at
The chimney sits right in the middle of this roof. Flashing is the metal that turns water away from anything that comes up through the shingles, and around a brick chimney it is the first thing to fail on an older roof. The estimate called for a full flashing upgrade, so the chimney, the walls, every pipe and the drip edge along the eaves all got new metal.
Before the shingles, synthetic underlayment went over the deck, with ice and water shield at the eaves and around every opening. Where two roof sections meet, we lined the valley with metal. Valleys carry water from two slopes at once, and metal holds up there longer than shingles alone.
Up top, a GAF ridge vent runs along the peak, with box vents working alongside it, so hot, wet air can leave the attic instead of cooking the shingles from underneath. GAF starter strip and hip and ridge caps finish the edges, and the homeowner added gutter guards to keep leaves out of the gutters.
When the crew finished, they ran a magnet over the yard for nails. If you are in Ashland County and your roof is getting older, call or text us. We will get on the roof, photograph everything and go through the photos with you. The inspection is free.
