Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement - Multi-Story Home, Mid-Gray Architectural

Working a multi-story roof is different from working a single-story roof in three specific ways: safety, logistics, and access.

Anything over 10 feet requires proper fall-protection - roof jacks, safety harnesses, anchor points, and OSHA-spec procedures. We don't compromise on this regardless of crew size.

Logistics: getting tear-off debris off a two-story roof is harder than off a one-story. We use a debris chute or a properly placed dumpster against the gable end, with tarps to protect the home's stucco. Getting new materials up is similarly slower - most of our crews use a conveyor or a lull lift rather than carrying bundles up ladders, both for safety and speed.

Access: scheduling crew movement so people aren't working below others, and so the property's landscaping and driveway are protected throughout. We document the property before we start so any post-job concerns are easy to resolve.

The installation work itself is the same regardless of stories: tear-off, deck inspection and repair, underlayment, flashing, shingles, ridge venting, magnet sweep. Six photos document the tear-off, the deck prep, the flashing details at the wall transitions, the field install, the ridge installation, and the finished elevation.
