The Scope of Work included, but is not limited to, removal of all existing shingles, rotten wood, underlayment and drip-edge to expose decking, and inspect vent boots. Repair of degraded and damaged decking, replace underlayment, new drip edge and install architectural shingles. Additional improvements may or may not include replacing soffits, fascias, rafters, and vents. A rendering of each project is attached.
