Case Study
Palmer Project
Chapel Drive, Findlay, Ohio
Project Overview
The Palmer Project on Chapel Drive in Findlay, Ohio, was a full-scale roof replacement that transformed a deteriorating wood shake roof into a stunning, high-performance roofing system. Years of aging, missing shingles, and excessive moss growth had taken a toll on the home’s curb appeal and structural integrity. The homeowner needed a long-term solution that would not only restore the beauty of their home but also provide superior protection against the elements.
Why J. Alexander Roofing?
The homeowner chose J. Alexander Roofing because of our expertise in premium roofing solutions and our reputation as one of the few certified DaVinci Roofscapes installers in Ohio. With a commitment to high-quality materials and top-tier craftsmanship, we provided a worry-free, long-lasting upgrade that will stand the test of time.
Challenges & Project Complexity
- The existing wood shake roof was heavily weathered, with missing shingles and extensive moss growth.
- The size of the project required precise coordination to ensure efficiency and high-quality execution.
- Winter weather conditions added logistical challenges, requiring flexibility in scheduling and safety precautions.
The Solution: DaVinci Roofscapes – Single-Width Tahoe
To enhance both durability and aesthetics, we installed a DaVinci Roofscapes Single-Width Tahoe composite roofing system. DaVinci products are modeled from natural slate and hand-split shake, offering the timeless beauty of traditional materials with superior performance.
Key Benefits of the DaVinci Roofing System:
Unmatched Durability – Class A Fire Rating, Class 4 Impact Rating, and 110 mph Wind Resistance.
Low Maintenance – Unlike natural wood shake, DaVinci shingles resist moss, algae, and weathering.
Long-Term Value – Enhanced curb appeal and home value, backed by decades of performance.
Installation Process & Custom Features
Our expert roofing team followed a meticulous process to ensure a seamless installation:
- Old roof removal down to the wood decking, with rotten decking replaced and secured.
- High-performance underlayment – Ice & Water Shield installed on eaves, valleys, and around skylights for superior moisture protection.
- DaVinci Shake Tahoe shingles installed for a timeless, natural aesthetic.
- Custom flashing work around the peak skylight, ensuring a watertight, energy-efficient seal.
- New skylights installed to enhance natural light inside the home.
