Project Story
When Timothy Jameson called Haven Home Remodeling, his 1910 historic home in Riverside was facing a serious roofing challenge. The roof had a very steep pitch and was burdened by four aging layers of roofing: the original shake shingles topped with three additional layers of asphalt shingles. To make matters worse, a "grandfathered-in" flat roof addition at the rear of the home had developed persistent leaks, putting the structure below at risk.
Lead craftsman Ethan Racz and his crew brought the specialized expertise required for a complex historic restoration. Working carefully from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm each day, the team set up safety harness systems to navigate the steep pitch. They stripped the structure all the way down to the original rafters, repaired the underlying roof deck, and completely waterproofed the flat rear addition before installing durable, modern shingles built to protect the home for decades.
The completed project restored full weatherproofing and peace of mind to the historic home without losing any of its original charm. Timothy was thoroughly impressed by the team's craftsmanship and work ethic, sharing: "Our beautiful new roof was installed by Haven Home Remodeling. The house was built in 1910, it's roof is very steep and had the original shake shingles on it as well as three layers of asphalt shingles. There is also a 'grandfathered in' add on at the rear of the house, it has a flat roof and was very leaky. Ethan's guys worked on it for four days, it took an extra day or so because, due to the steepness of the roof, the roofers had to work with safety harnesses on. This made moving around a bit more time consuming. The crew showed up at 7:30am and worked until around 4:00pm, each day. They tore off the four layers, down to the rafters, and got the job with no problems. Excellent work, very friendly and professional."
