What we found

The inspection came first — every slope from the air and up close. The photos made the call.

December 2. The old roof, straight down — every slope in one frame.

Tear-off

The old roof came off in sheets, starting at the chimney. The inspection chalk was still on the far slope when the first shingles came down.

What the deck was hiding

Tear-off exposed rotted decking where the roof meets a second-story wall — the kind of thing no overlay ever finds. The bad wood came out before the underlayment went down.

The rebuild

Synthetic underlayment sealed the whole deck, then Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles went up the slopes. The drone kept shooting the whole way.

The finish

The same drone that watched the first shingles come off took the last frames: a finished roof, photographed the day it went on.
