New roof and gutters

 It's not only a roof over our head... now it's new!!!

We got a new roof and new guttering last week. I just signed the agreement Monday and was told it would be a couple weeks before they got to us. Apparently they had a scheduling conflict elsewhere and he called Wednesday and asked if they could do our roof on Thursday. Absolutely!

The materials were delivered Wednesday afternoon, and the roofers arrived Thursday around 6:30AM and started tearing off the old. That was the noisiest part, and lasted maybe a couple hours. They did have to replace three sections of damaged decking, so it's a good thing we went with a new roof instead of a second layer of shingles. The rest of the day was spent doing that, changing our roof vents to a ridge cap, installing leak barrier, underlayment, Timberline HDZ shingles (app. 26sq), new drip edge and gutter apron, pipe boots, and then clean-up. I believe they were done by 4:15PM. So that was a pretty full day of work for them - although they did take like a 1 1/2 hour lunch break.

We went with the Shakewood color (I think). It's lighter than what was on there, and a little lighter than I was hoping for in real life, but it doesn't look terrible.

As for gutters, they came Saturday morning around 8AM and were done by noon (if not before). Our old gutters looked terrible and sat so low that the rain basically just poured over the tops of them. I went ahead and splurged for the larger 6" seamless gutters, and we kept the basic white. They now sit where they're supposed to, and if it ever rains again this summer I'm assuming they will work quite nicely. They came with gutter guards installed.

The son-in-law recommended this company, and we were happy with the results. Andrew was a great guy to work with, all the workers seemed nice, and I was happy with the ~$13,000 price for everything. Hopefully the 50-year warranty will last us our lifetime (ha!) and all manner of our roofing will be well. :)
