How the job went

The June 2026 hail broke shingles across the south and west slopes, and a section by the chimney was under a tarp when Priya called. Two other roofers had declined to bid the roof because of the 12/12 front gable.

We met her adjuster on the roof the following week and the claim was approved for a full replacement. Priya paid for the upgrade to Class 4 shingles, which her insurer discounts. On a roof this steep the crew works from roof jacks and planks, so the job took three days instead of two.

Six weeks passed between signing and the install date, longer than we’d like. It was the busiest stretch of the year after the storm.
