At Top Gen Roofing, we transformed the home on Empire Cir in Slingerlands, NY 12159 with a full main-house shingle roof replacement completed on April 8, 2025. Homeowners can rest easy knowing our team removed every layer of the old roof—shingles, underlayment, drip edge—down to the decking, then rebuilt it with top-tier materials: a 1½″ white drip edge around all eaves for clean water runoff; Atlas WeatherMaster Ice-N-Water shield protecting vulnerable areas (6 ft up eaves, 3 ft in valleys and walls, around penetrations); Atlas Summit 60 synthetic underlayment beneath every shingle; and factory-matched Atlas HP42 starter shingles for a flawless edge. We custom-fabricated flashings around pipes and steps, installed customer-selected Atlas Pinnacle architectural shingles, and capped the peak with Atlas True Ridge venting and Pro Cut ridge caps to ensure lasting airflow and durability. All materials carry 15-year manufacturer defect and labor warranties, lifetime StainGuard, and 130 mph wind protection—backed by our 20-year labor warranty. Top Gen Roofing handled every detail and cleanup so Kurt could enjoy a worry-free, beautifully finished roof.
Upon stripping the old roofing system down to the decking, our crew identified sections of damaged or rotted decking that compromised the structural integrity needed to support the new roof and maintain manufacturer warranties. Because the decking condition wasn’t visible from the client’s initial inspection, this discovery risked unexpected costs and potential delays. Addressing it swiftly and transparently was essential to keeping the project on schedule and preserving trust.
We conducted a thorough on-site decking inspection immediately after tear-off, documenting any areas requiring replacement. We communicated detailed, itemized costs for 7/16″ OSB or CDX decking to Kurt before proceeding, in line with our no-surprises pricing approach. Once approved, we replaced damaged sheets like-for-like, then installed the full system of Atlas underlayments, drip edge, starter shingles, proprietary flashing, Pinnacle architectural shingles, and ridge vent components. Clear updates and on-time completion ensured Kurt felt informed and confident in the quality and durability of his new roof.
