After more than 26 years, this large roof had reached the end of its lifespan. The aging shingles were dated in appearance and no longer provided the level of protection and efficiency the home needed.
The homeowners were ready for more than just a replacement; they wanted a complete upgrade that would improve both the look of the exterior of their home and the comfort inside.
Replacing an Aging Roof with Modern Performance
The existing roof was removed and replaced with Owens Corning Duration Series shingles in Onyx Black, which offers a black shingle with prominent dark gray and black granules.
The bold, dark color gave the home an immediate visual transformation, creating a cleaner, more modern appearance while adding strong contrast and curb appeal. Beyond aesthetics, the new roofing system delivers improved durability, wind resistance and long-term performance compared to the original 26-year-old roof. Plus, they get a limited lifetime warranty!
Upgrading All Seven Skylights
As part of the project, all seven skylights were replaced with new VELUX skylights featuring room-darkening solar blinds.
Older skylights are a common source of energy loss and potential leaks over time. By upgrading to modern skylight systems, the homeowners now benefit from improved efficiency, better insulation and enhanced comfort throughout the year.
The addition of solar-powered room-darkening blinds also allows for greater control over interior lighting and temperature, helping to reduce glare and heat during the brightest parts of the day while still bringing in natural light when desired.
A Complete Transformation
The combination of the Onyx Black roofing system and upgraded skylights completely refreshed the look and functionality of this sprawling Carlisle home.
What was once an aging, outdated roof is now a high-performance system designed for durability, efficiency and modern curb appeal. The new skylights not only improve the appearance of the home from the outside, but also make the interior spaces brighter, more comfortable and more energy efficient. Just what the clients were looking for!
