Client Overview


Names: David and Kay

Location: Conestoga, PA

Initial Contact: 2018, due to a roof leak

Problem Statement


Since their initial contact in 2018, David and Kay faced multiple roofing issues:


  1. 2018: Initial roof leak
  2. 2019: Porch roof leak
  3. 2023: Third leak leading to a recommendation for a full roof replacement


Solution: Comprehensive Roofing and Additional Services


Joyland Roofing not only addressed the leaks but also provided David and Kay with a holistic roofing system solution:


  1. Roof Replacement: Installation of a GAF Timberline HDZ Roof System with a System Plus Warranty, ensuring lifetime material and replacement labor coverage.
  2. Skylight Installation: New Velux skylights were fitted.
  3. Chimney Modification: A cricket, also known as a saddle, was installed behind the chimney to divert water away from the flashing. A cricket is a ridge structure installed on a rooftop to divert water around the highest side of chimneys or the transition area from one rooftop area to another.
  4. Plywood Replacement: Some sections of rotten plywood decking, due to age and leaks, was replaced.
  5. Window Services: New window shutters were installed.
  6. Gutter Maintenance: Gutters on their barn were cleaned and equipped with gutter guards.
