When the team at Almighty Services, LLC arrived for a full roof replacement in Portland, IN, we discovered not one, not two, but five layers of old shingles stacked up! Initially, it might seem like a cost-saving idea to layer shingles, but in reality, this method only conceals and exacerbates underlying issues. In this case, we ended up replacing more than 60 sheets of damaged roof decking due to moisture accumulation and inadequate airflow over the years.

To ensure this home got the protection it deserved, we set up a Class 3 Impact Resistant Atlas Pinnacle Pristine roof system in an enduring and striking Black Shadow hue. We also improved the ventilation by replacing the old-fashioned box vents with a sleek and efficient ridge vent system. This change significantly enhances airflow and extends roof lifespan.

The transformation didn’t stop at the roof. The home’s old white 5” gutters and small 2×3” downspouts were leaky and inefficient. So, we replaced them with a modern, high-capacity system featuring black 6” gutters and 3×4” downspouts. This change gave the house a sharp visual upgrade and functionally enhanced drainage system.

The takeaway lesson? Avoid stacking shingles—strip them down and do it right from the start. Your roof (and your wallet) will thank you later. Get an estimate today!
