Project Context
Kevin’s home featured a concrete tile roof that had reached the point where maintenance and upgrades were becoming increasingly important. With advancements in roofing materials and building codes, Kevin chose to invest in a full system upgrade. A key part of the project included replacing and modifying existing skylights to meet current code requirements, making this both a performance and compliance-focused renovation.
The project required converting a heavy concrete tile system into a lighter asphalt shingle roof while ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. At the same time, the skylights needed not only replacement but also elevation adjustments to meet building code. Coordinating all components—decking, ventilation, flashing, and skylights—into one cohesive, code-compliant system was the primary challenge.
Kevin chose Vantage Roofing Ltd. for our expertise in complex roofing projects involving structural transitions and code upgrades. Our experience with tile-to-shingle conversions and skylight installations gave him confidence in a seamless execution. He also valued our forward-thinking approach, ensuring the new system would meet modern standards and provide lasting reliability.
We began by removing and responsibly disposing of the existing concrete tile roofing. Our team installed new 3/8″ plywood decking and strapping to create a solid base for the updated system. A high-performance synthetic underlayment and Malarkey Vista® AR shingles were then installed, along with RidgeFlex® hip and ridge shingles.
Special attention was given to flashing and transitions, including new 26-gauge valley metal, chimney re-flashing, step flashing, and diverters.
For the skylights, we removed and replaced all three units, raised them by 2 inches to meet current code requirements, and re-flashed them to ensure long-term waterproofing.
We also upgraded ventilation with new attic vents and B-vents, installed premium plumbing flashings, and maintained strict safety protocols throughout. The property was protected with groundsheets, and a full cleanup was completed at the end of the project.
Kevin’s home now features a fully modernized roofing system designed for durability, efficiency, and compliance. The new asphalt shingle roof reduces system weight and complexity while maintaining strong protection and curb appeal.
With upgraded decking, improved ventilation, and properly installed, code-compliant skylights, the home is better equipped for long-term performance. Backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, the project delivers lasting value and peace of mind.
