Before & After Photos

Our professional crew recently completed a full roof replacement using IKO Class 3 Impact Rated Dynasty Shingles in Frostone Grey, delivering both superior durability and a fresh, modern look for Cordell, a local Fargo homeonwer. Before the work began, we set up protective tarps to safeguard landscaping, siding, and other ground-level structures from debris. The existing roofing system was removed down to the decking, where we performed a thorough inspection to identify and replace any soft or rotten boards. This careful preparation ensured a strong, lasting foundation for the new roof.

To provide maximum weather protection, we installed two rows of Sealoron XT Ice and Water Shield along all eaves and one row up each valley, plus Sealoron XT Deck Tape on all decking seams. The remaining surface was covered with Velora One Synthetic Underlayment, offering enhanced water resistance and durability. For finishing touches, we added aluminum drip edge around the entire perimeter, seam-taped the eave edges, installed starter shingles along rakes and eaves, and flashed all penetrations to prevent leaks. Proper attic venting was also incorporated to promote healthy airflow and extend the roof’s lifespan.

For the finishing detail, we installed IKO Hip & Ridge shingles, which are made from a resilient inorganic glass base and coated with weather-resistant asphalt. These pre-tapered, three-piece shingles are surfaced with ceramic-colored granules, protecting the roof from ultraviolet damage while adding a clean, refined appearance. Once the installation was complete, our team performed a meticulous cleanup, leaving the property in pristine condition. The result is a beautiful, impact-resistant roofing system built to withstand the elements for years to come.

Our team at Vita Roofing recently completed a full roof replacement for Lloyd, a homeowner in Fargo, ND, whose property had sustained storm damage from previous severe weather. After years of battling high winds and heavy storms, his old roof was no longer offering the protection it should, making a full asphalt shingle replacement the best solution.

To begin the project, we carefully set up tarps around the property to safeguard landscaping and structures while ensuring all debris was contained during the tear-off. The old roofing system was completely removed down to the decking, where we performed a full inspection and replaced any soft or rotted sections to create a solid foundation.

For maximum protection, we installed two rows of Sealoron XT Ice and Water along all eaves and one row up the valleys, followed by Sealoron XT Deck Tape on every decking seam. The rest of the roof was covered with Velora One Synthetic Underlayment, creating a durable, moisture-resistant barrier. To guide water safely off the roof, a 1-3/4" T-Style Aluminum Drip Edge was added around the perimeter, and we applied seam tape to the drip edge along the eaves for added defense. Starter shingles were then installed on all rakes and eaves to prepare the roof for its new finish.

Lloyd selected IKO Dynasty Shingles, a premium asphalt shingle known for its Class 3 Impact Resistance, built-in algae resistance, and upgraded tar and nailing strips for superior holding power. These shingles are also thicker than standard designs, giving Lloyd’s home added strength against future storms, a critical upgrade for the Fargo area. Once the shingles were secured, our crew added all necessary penetration flashings, proper venting, and finished the project with a clean installation of hip and ridge caps. We wrapped up with a thorough, detailed cleanup, leaving Lloyd with a roof that not only restores his home after storm damage but also provides lasting peace of mind for the years ahead.

Mike of Fargo, ND, had lived in his bungalow for over two decades when the harsh North Dakota winters and relentless spring freeze-thaw cycles finally took their toll on his roof. The old metal roof above his flat section had rusted, warped, and allowed water to seep in, leaving behind rotted decking and chronic leaks in his living room ceiling. After watching a few shingles curl and a small patch of decking sag, Mike knew it was time for a full replacement, not just another quick patch job.

After meeting with a local contractor, Mike chose to install a modern EPDM flat roof system, a trusted choice for flat or low-slope roofs because of its durable single-ply rubber membrane that resists weather and holds up well over time. The crew began by carefully removing the failing metal roofing and cutting away all the rotted wood beneath it. With the old materials cleared out, they repaired the decking and prepared the surface to accept the insulated system he’d chosen: layers of tapered poly ISO foam for improved drainage and insulation, ensuring that water wouldn’t pool on his flat roof in future storms.

Next came the EPDM membrane itself, a flexible, weather-resistant synthetic rubber sheet that would become Mike’s new roof. The installers used specialized bonding adhesive to securely adhere the membrane to the foam insulation, and mechanically fastened it with screws and plates to give extra resistance in the windy Fargo climate. Around every vent, pipe, and penetration, they incorporated pitch pockets to keep water out, sealing those tricky areas with care. When the last plate was taped and the final seam inspected, Mike stepped back and smiled; what had once been a source of stress was now a reliable, high-performance roof ready to protect his home for years to come.

This past spring, Vita Roofing completed a full roof replacement for Hannah’s home, delivering a durable and visually striking upgrade using IKO Dynasty Class 3 Impact Rated asphalt shingles. Known for their strength and performance, these shingles were an ideal choice to protect the home against harsh weather while enhancing curb appeal. From day one, the expert roofing professionals at Vita Roofing prioritized care and precision, beginning with the setup of protective tarps around the property to safeguard landscaping, ground structures, and ensure debris was fully contained throughout the project.

Once the aged asphalt shingles were removed, the team carefully tore off the existing roofing system down to the decking. A thorough inspection followed, during which any soft or rotten decking was identified and replaced to create a solid foundation for the new roof. To maximize long-term protection, Vita Roofing installed two rows of ice and water shield along all eaves and one row in every valley, followed by high-quality synthetic underlayment across the remaining roof surface. Aluminum drip edge was installed around the entire perimeter, along with starter shingles on all rakes and eaves to ensure proper water flow and wind resistance.

The project continued with the installation of new penetration flashings, upgraded roof venting, and precision-installed hip and ridge components to complete the roofing system. After the final shingles were secured, the Vita Roofing crew wrapped up with a detailed cleanup, leaving Hannah’s property spotless and the new roof ready to perform for years to come. This spring roof replacement is another example of Vita Roofing’s commitment to craftsmanship, protection, and a stress-free experience for homeowners.

When Alyssa called Vita Roofing, she explained that her old asphalt shingle roof had become an eyesore. Years of exposure to wind, rain, snow, and sun had left the shingles cracked, faded, and loose. She wanted a roof replacement that would not only improve curb appeal, but also provide better performance and peace of mind. Vita Roofing recommended a complete start-to-finish roof replacement using Class 3 Impact Rated IKO Dynasty shingles.

The project began with the crew protecting the property. Tarps were placed around the home to shield landscaping, outdoor items, and ground structures from falling debris. The old roofing system was then removed down to the decking. With the roof stripped clean, Vita Roofing inspected every section of the decking and replaced any boards that were soft or deteriorated. Taking the time to repair the decking ensured that Alyssa’s new roof would last for years without hidden issues underneath.

Once the deck was ready, the team installed the moisture barriers that are so important in Minnesota’s climate. Two rows of Ice and Water barrier were installed at every eave, and one row was installed through all roof valleys. Synthetic underlayment was then applied across the rest of the roof for an added layer of defense against wind-driven rain and moisture. The roof perimeter was finished with new aluminum drip edge, and starter shingles were installed along the rakes and eaves to provide a stronger seal.

Finally, the crew installed the new IKO Dynasty shingles using a 10-inch offset pattern for a clean, dimensional appearance. These shingles were a perfect fit for Alyssa’s home because they are Class 3 impact-rated and designed with built-in algae resistance to help prevent black streaking. They also feature an upgraded tar strip and upgraded nailing strip that help keep the shingles secure during severe weather. To complete the project, Vita Roofing repaired the chimney flashing, giving Alyssa a roof system that was attractive, durable, and fully protected from top to bottom.
