Full Roof Replacement — Atlas Pinnacle Aged Cedar

Ray and Donna Castillo's striking 80s contemporary home sat nestled among towering pine trees on a quiet red circle street, its distinctive raised entry tower and hip roof commanding attention. But beneath the architectural beauty, years of heavy shade had taken their toll. Moss and debris blanketed the old roof, while moisture damage from accumulated pine needles had begun rotting out the starter course along two sides of the home. The Castillos knew a fresh start was needed.

The team tackled the project systematically, tearing off the old roof and discovering significant issues that required immediate attention. They replaced approximately 10 sheets of OSB along the north and west eaves where moisture damage was most severe, then replaced all the valley metals that had rusted through from years of sitting under wet debris. The raised tower section over the entry presented a special challenge—its small hip with four converging ridges demanded custom-cut cap pieces to ensure a flawless installation.

The crew installed Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles in aged cedar, a premium choice featuring built-in Scotchgard protection to prevent the algae and moss problems that had plagued the previous roof. They also cleaned and re-screened all soffit vents—many completely clogged with pine straw—and added gutter guards throughout the home. After a week of work, the transformation was complete. Ray appreciated finally addressing years of progressive deterioration, while Donna was thrilled with how the aged cedar coloring revitalized the brick exterior. The homeowners discovered more than just a new roof; they gained peace of mind about future maintenance in their challenging, shade-covered setting.
