Bella Construction recently completed a roof replacement and gutter guard installation for a beautiful home in Wexford, PA. This project not only upgraded the home’s protection but also improved ventilation and long-term performance of the entire roofing system.
Roof Replacement
The existing roof was at the end of its lifespan, showing signs of wear that could have led to leaks and water damage if left untreated. The homeowners chose Owens Corning Duration shingles in Slatestone Gray, a sleek, dimensional shingle color that adds depth and modern style to the home’s exterior.
To complete the roofing system, our crew installed:
-
P. Stone Clay drip edge (upper roof sections) – Protects roof decking from water penetration and provides a clean transition at the edges.
-
White drip edge (lower roof sections) – Creates a sharp, polished contrast against the Slatestone Gray shingles while ensuring proper water flow into the gutters.
-
Harbor Gray chimney flashing – Custom-fabricated to seal around the chimney, one of the most common leak points on any roof. This flashing blends with the roof system for a consistent look.
Gutter Guards and Ventilation
Along with the new roof, the homeowners opted to add gutter guards, helping to prevent clogged gutters and reduce maintenance. Gutter guards ensure water flows smoothly away from the home’s foundation, protecting against erosion and basement leaks.
To further strengthen the roof system, we also installed inflow vents. These vents improve attic ventilation, helping regulate temperature and moisture levels year-round. Proper ventilation is critical for extending the life of shingles, preventing ice dams in winter, and avoiding mold or mildew growth in the attic.
The Results
The transformation not only gave the home a crisp, modern look with the Slatestone Gray shingle color but also delivered major functional upgrades:
-
Enhanced water protection with updated drip edges and chimney flashing
-
Lower maintenance thanks to gutter guards that keep debris out
-
Improved attic ventilation with inflow vents to regulate airflow
-
Stronger curb appeal with a cohesive, stylish roof system
