Two-layer tear-off and new roof in Hermantown

This Hermantown rambler on a wooded lot had two layers of old shingles on it. We stripped both layers down to the deck, which takes weight off the framing and lets the new roof lie flat. Then ice-and-water shield went along the eaves, new drip edge went on every edge, plumbing vents got new flashings, and the roof was finished in Owens Corning Duration shingles. The new roof was completed in June 2026.
