Every roof tells a story and this one was overdue for a new chapter. From leaking skylights to a deteriorating cupola and more nail pops than we could count, this home was showing clear signs of wear that couldn’t be ignored.
Multiple Exterior Points of Concern
This project came with a combination of issues that were impacting both performance and curb appeal.
The existing skylights were old and leaking, allowing water intrusion and reducing energy efficiency. The cupola had significant rot, compromising both its structural integrity and appearance. On top of that, the roof itself had numerous nail pops which is a strong indicator of aging materials and improper fastening over time.
Individually, these problems are concerning. Together, they made it clear that a full roof replacement was the right solution
Time For a Complete Roof System Upgrade
To restore the home properly, the existing roofing system was removed and replaced with Owens Corning Duration Series shingles in their attractive and popular Williamsburg Gray.
This upgrade not only delivers a clean, dimensional look but also provides enhanced durability and wind resistance, critical for long-term performance.
New Skylights That Perform
As part of the project, two outdated skylights were replaced with VELUX skylights featuring room-darkening solar blinds.
These modern skylights offer:
- Improved energy efficiency
- Leak-resistant design
- Remote-controlled solar blinds for convenience and comfort
- Better natural light control throughout the day
The result is a brighter, more functional interior space without the worry of leaks or drafts.
Custom Cupola Installation
To address the rotting structure, the old cupola was removed and replaced with a new 7.5-foot tall PVC and copper cupola.
This upgrade delivers both durability and visual impact. The PVC construction resists rot, moisture, and insects, the copper accents add a timeless, high-end aesthetic and the increased height enhances the home’s architectural presence
It’s a detail that not only fixes a problem but elevates (pun intended) the entire look of the home.
The Result: A Functioning and Beautiful Roof
With a new roofing system, upgraded skylights and a striking new cupola, this home has been completely transformed.
What was once a roof plagued by leaks, deterioration and visible wear is now a cohesive, high-performance system built to last. Beyond protection, the Williamsburg Gray shingles and copper detailing bring a refreshed, polished appearance that stands out for all the right reasons.
Time to Replace Your Roof?
If you’re dealing with leaking skylights, wear and tear or signs like nail pops, it may be time to consider a full replacement. Addressing these issues early can prevent more extensive damage and give your home the protection from the top to bottom, and the look, that it deserves.
A well-built roof does more than cover your home. It protects everything underneath it.
