We stripped off the old roof and gutters, installed OSB sheathing over the spaced sheathing, 30-lb felt underlayment, Presidential Shake TL shingles by CertainTeed (color: Autumn Blend), new vent flashings (painted to match the roof), valley metal in the valley areas, continuous ridge vents on the ridgelines, Rapid Ridge cap shingles on all the hips and ridges, and new gutters (color: Wood Beige).
This roof originally featured wood shakes. Presidential Shake TL is one of CertainTeed’s higher end shingle types, featuring a longer lifespan than the most commonly chosen Landmark series. These shingles resemble cedar shakes, but are much more cost-effective. They are also one of the thickest, most durable shingles in the industry.
