When a vent on the roof is old, rusted, or damaged, it can allow water to leak into the home every time it rains. Not only is this annoying, it can cause worse structural damage if neglected. At Cenco Building Services, we can make quick work of replacing a damaged roof vent for homeowners. The process is simple.

Roof Repair Steps: Replacing a Roof Vent

Our contractor will confirm that the vent is leaking with a water test before getting started on your roof repair. The test involves running water from a garden hose along all four sides of the vent to simulate rainwater. During the test, the contractor looks for areas where there may be water penetrating the roof, such as raised shingles, bent metal, and exposed underlayment. After the water test, the real work begins on your vent replacement. Our contractors will complete this repair in the following steps:

• Removing the shingles for 2 ft. in all directions around the roof vent. This exposes the underlayment.
• Checking for visible signs of water deterioration on the underlayment and around the base of the vent.
• Cutting away the underlayment around the roof vent to expose the decking.
• Removing the existing roof vent.
• Examining the exposed decking and vent opening for water damage and rot.
• Replacing any damaged decking.
• Installing the new roof vent.
• Installing an ice and water shield to cover all seams around the vent.
• Applying a new felt underlayment over the area.
• Installing new shingles using a six-nail method.
• Capping the nails on the new roof vent with silicone to stop rusting and leaks.

So proud of the Cenco management team. We embarked yesterday on the Focus Day of our EOS process, opening our minds and hearts to work “on” the business as well as “in” the business. Thanks to @SueHawkes and @Sayyess for facilitating an amazing first day of learning and honest discussion, as we focus on improving our processes and service provision to customers!

Ventilation and flashing systems allow a roof to breathe and move water away from critical components such as chimneys, valleys, rake and eave edges. To ensure no racking of shingles and a watertight drainage channel around flashings and flanges, shingles will have to be cut to size on the roof before installation. Watch our crew in action as they custom cut field shingles to fit around a newly installed slant back air exhaust. Whether you have a roofing repair or roofing replacement question, you can call the pros at Cenco Building Services at (720)-583-1690 for honest and straightforward feedback and excellent service. #CencoCares #BestInClass

…And each component is important!Prior to laying the first course of field shingles, you must use a dedicated starter strip over a dedicated gutter apron metal for 2 reasons: First, it ensures wind tolerance loads to make sure wind-driven rain neither gets underneath nor behind the shingles either along the eave or rake edges; Second, the trim metals prevent capillary leaking of snow and rain runoff behind the gutter system–which is detrimental to the fascia wood and the soffit system. Watch our crew install the right materials at this Owens Corning Roof System replacement. If you have questions or concerns about your roof, click below or give us a ring at (720)-583-1690!

Did you know that the average home produces 5+ gallons of water moisture every day?Much of it comes from breathing, but it is also generated by activities such as showers, cooking, and humidifying. But where does that moisture go? Trapped moisture is bad for your attic and your body.Enter synthethic felt paper! Designed not only to repel water from above, new synthetic underlayments are permeable from below to allow any moisture build up to escape from under your roof shingles.Protect your family and your home. Ask for a quality synthetic felt during your next roof repair or replacement. If you have any additional questions, give Cenco Building Services a ring or contact us below!
