A New Roof, A New Look: Our Successful Shingle Replacement Project
At Lagunas Roofing, we recently got a call from a homeowner, who needed a roof shingle replacement in Belleville, IL. The customer noticed missing and damaged shingles after a recent storm, and some areas of the roof were leaking water into their home. They wanted a quick and reliable solution, and we were ready to help.
A Call From a Concerned Homeowner
When the homeowner contacted us, they were worried about water damage and mold growth from the leaks. We quickly arranged an inspection for the next day to assess the condition of the roof and provide an estimate for the replacement.
Steps We Took
When it comes to replacing
roof shingles, we follow a step-by-step approach to ensure the job is done right and your home stays protected. Here’s how we tackled this roofing project in Belleville, IL.
Initial Inspection
We arrived at the property and started with a thorough roof inspection. We walked the roof and checked for missing, curled, or cracked shingles, as well as any signs of leaks or rot. We found that about 40% of the shingles were damaged. The roof also had some weak spots where the water had been seeping through.
Providing a Detailed Estimate
After the inspection, we provided the homeowner with a detailed estimate. We explained the scope of work, including removing the old shingles, repairing any damaged roof decking, and installing new shingles. We also reviewed the different shingle options with the homeowner to find the best match for their home.
Preparation and Safety Measures
Once we agreed on the plan, we scheduled a date for the replacement. On the day of the job, our team set up protective tarps around the house to catch any debris and protect the landscaping. We also used safety harnesses and ladders to ensure a safe working environment for our crew.
Replacing the Roof: Removing the Old and Installing the New
Our team followed a precise process to replace damaged roof shingles effectively, ensuring the roof is secure and looks great. Here's how we handled the removal of the old shingles and the installation of new ones:
- Careful Removal of Old Shingles: We started by carefully removing the old, damaged shingles to prevent any further harm to the roof deck. As we removed each shingle, we inspected the roof deck for hidden damage. Most of the deck was in good condition, but we did replace a few sections where the wood had begun to rot, ensuring a solid base for the new shingles.
- Installing the New Shingles: With the roof deck prepared, we installed an underlayment to provide an extra layer of water protection. Then, we began laying down the new shingles, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and working our way up. We used high-quality asphalt shingles that matched the home's color and style, giving it a fresh, updated look.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
Once the new shingles were installed, we did a final inspection to ensure everything was in place and properly sealed. We checked for any missed nails or loose shingles and made sure the roof was secure. After that, we cleaned up all the debris, removed the tarps, and left the property as clean as we found it.

The homeowner was very pleased with the result. The new roof looked great and, most importantly, it stopped the leaks immediately. We also provided them with maintenance tips to keep their roof in good condition. The customer was relieved and happy to know they could trust Lagunas Roofing with their roofing needs.
