‍

At Wings Construction, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality roofing solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each homeowner. Our recent residential roof replacement project showcases our commitment to excellence, as we successfully upgraded an old cedar shake roof to a durable, energy-efficient asphalt shingle system.

‍

Project Overview:

- Location: Eagan, MN

- Project Type: Roof Replacement

- Materials Used: Asphalt Shingles (replacing Cedar Shake)

- Completion Date: Spring, 2025

‍

The Challenge:

This project involved the removal of aged cedar shake roofing that had reached the end of its lifespan. Cedar shakes, while aesthetically pleasing, can deteriorate over time, leading to potential water infiltration and reduced energy efficiency. Our goal was to replace the existing cedar shakes with asphalt shingles, offering better durability, long-term performance, and enhanced protection for the homeowner’s property.

‍

Our Approach:

1. Roof Removal: We carefully removed the old cedar shakes, ensuring proper disposal and minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.
2. Inspection & Preparation: Before installing the new roof, we performed a thorough inspection of the roof deck to identify any underlying issues. We replaced any damaged or rotted wood to ensure a solid foundation for the new shingles.
3. Asphalt Shingle Installation: Our team installed high-quality asphalt shingles designed for longevity and weather resistance. The shingles chosen not only enhance the home’s curb appeal but also provide superior protection against the elements.
4. Final Inspection: We completed a detailed final inspection to ensure the roof was properly installed, ensuring its durability and performance for years to come.

Why Asphalt Shingles?

Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing materials due to their affordability, versatility, and long-lasting protection. They offer excellent weather resistance, are fire-rated, and come in a variety of styles and colors to complement the home’s exterior design. Asphalt shingles also provide better insulation, helping to reduce energy costs over time.

‍

Results:

- Improved Home Aesthetics: The new asphalt shingles added a fresh, modern look to the home, boosting its curb appeal.
- Enhanced Durability: Asphalt shingles are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, offering peace of mind for the homeowner.
- Energy Efficiency: The upgraded roofing system helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and lower utility bills.
