Second Wind for an Old Mill: Guaranteed Roofing Revamps Killingly Roof
Nestled in the rolling hills of northeastern Connecticut, a historic echo lingers in the weathered walls of an old mill in Killingly. Though no longer churning out textiles, the sturdy structure still serves a vital purpose, standing as a testament to the region’s industrial past. But time, as it often does, had taken its toll, and the aging roof was in dire need of a refresh.
Enter Guaranteed Roofing, the commercial roofing specialists known for their meticulous work and unwavering commitment to quality. Tasked with breathing new life into the mill’s roof, their team approached the project with the expertise and care befitting such a landmark.
Shedding the Past, One Shingle at a Time:
The first order of business was a complete tear-off of the existing shingle roof. Using a boom lift and a strategically placed trash box, the Guaranteed Roofing crew carefully removed the debris, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area. This meticulous approach not only preserved the property but also showcased the company’s dedication to safety and environmental responsibility.
Building a Solid Foundation:
With the old shingles cleared away, the team meticulously inspected the underlying deck boards, making any necessary repairs and reinforcements. New plywood sheathing was then installed, creating a smooth and level surface for the new roof.
Layering Strength and Protection:
Next came the vital layers of underlayment, each serving a specific purpose in safeguarding the building from the elements. Seam tape sealed all seams and joints, preventing water infiltration. Synthetic underlayment provided an additional barrier against moisture and ice damming. Wall step flashing and drip edge were strategically placed to ensure proper water drainage and prevent leaks around walls and eaves.
Crowning Jewel: The Tamko Titan XT Shingles:
The skilled roofers meticulously installed the Tamko Titan XT shingles, renowned for their exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal. The deep Virgina Slate colored shingles, chosen for their classic elegance, perfectly complemented the mill’s historic character.
More Than Just Roofers, Community Stewards:
Guaranteed Roofing takes pride in being more than just a roofing company. They are active members of the communities they serve, committed to exceeding expectations and delivering results that go beyond the roofline. In the case of the Killingly mill, their meticulous work preserved a piece of local history while ensuring the building’s continued functionality for years to come.
So, the next time you see the old mill in Killingly, standing tall and proud with its newly revitalized roof, remember the skilled hands and dedication of Guaranteed Roofing. They are the silent guardians, ensuring that our cherished landmarks not only survive but thrive, ready to tell their stories for generations to come.
