Vita Roofing recently completed a full roof replacement for Ronald and Diane in Dazey, ND. Their previous shingles were beyond repair, and with recent changes in the home insurance landscape, many homeowners like them find it necessary to replace aging roofs to maintain or renew coverage. The couple’s beautiful, recently renovated two-story home received a complete upgrade featuring IKO Dynasty Asphalt Shingles, known for their Class 3 impact rating, superior wind resistance, and long-lasting performance. These shingles not only enhance curb appeal but also provide peace of mind with one of the best warranties in the industry.
Before installation began, Vita Roofing’s crew took every precaution to protect the property. Tarps were carefully set up around the home to safeguard landscaping and collect debris during the tear-off process. The existing roofing system was removed down to the decking, where the team thoroughly inspected the surface and replaced any soft or rotten sections to ensure a solid foundation. With the decking prepared, two rows of Ice and Water Shield were applied to all eaves and an additional row up each valley, followed by Synthetic Underlayment across the remaining roof area.
To finish, Aluminum Drip Edge was installed along the perimeter, with starter shingles placed on all rakes and eaves to provide added protection against wind uplift. The IKO Dynasty shingles were then meticulously installed, along with new penetration flashings, roof venting, and a hip and ridge system for proper ventilation and a clean, polished look. Once the installation was complete, the Vita Roofing team conducted a detailed cleanup, leaving Ronald and Diane’s property spotless and their home protected for years to come.
Located in Horace, ND, Mr. Grant’s 1,800-square-foot, single-story home sits on a spacious ¾-acre lot and needed a complete roof replacement. Years of exposure to extreme weather had taken a toll on the existing asphalt shingles, prompting Mr. Grant to reach out to Vita Roofing for expert assistance. The process began with a free, no-obligation roof inspection, where the condition of the roof was carefully evaluated.
After the inspection, Clay from Vita Roofing walked Mr. Grant through several roofing options and recommended a Class 3 impact-resistant shingle to provide added durability against North Dakota’s demanding climate. This recommendation ensured the new roof would offer enhanced protection while maintaining a clean, attractive appearance.
The Vita Roofing crew removed the old roofing materials down to the decking, replaced any compromised wood, and safeguarded the home’s foundation with protective tarps. Two layers of water and ice shield, synthetic underlayment, aluminum drip edges, updated flashings, and proper venting were installed before finishing the project with IKO Dynasty shingles in Charcoal. The result was a high-performance roofing system that improved curb appeal and delivered lasting peace of mind.
Jack went out to a home in West Fargo, ND, to do a complete roof inspection. Mitchell called Vita Roofing after a major hail storm. Due to the size of the hail and the damage it caused, Mitchell needed to have his roof checked out to confirm the extent of the damage.
After the inspection, it was confirmed that the roof sustained considerable injury to multiple shingles. The hail strikes left 1" dents in the asphalt. Once the shingle is compermised, it is important to have it replaced. If not, water will seep into the areas where the hail left the marks and will cause deterioration of the roofing underlayment and decking.
After Mitchell spoke to Jack about his options, Jack assured him that a roof replacement was the best option. If he decided to only repair the damaged sections of asphalt shingles, it would only be a matter of time before the roof would need to be completely replaced. He agreed to a full shingle replacement. He decided to install IKO Nordic top-tier class 4-rated shingles. This asphalt shingle is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions & is impact resistant. This will give his home a better chance to survive future hailstorms.
When Marcus from Harwood, North Dakota, noticed his roof showing signs of age and storm damage, he knew it was time to call in the experts. After researching trusted contractors, he contacted Vita Roofing to discuss replacing his roof with a durable metal system. During the inspection, the team confirmed that the existing roof had reached the end of its lifespan. They also noted the steep pitch of the roof, which required special attention in both the estimate and the installation process to ensure a safe and efficient project.
The replacement started with the roof deck and sheathing, the plywood layer that provides structural support. After preparing the deck, the crew installed a protective underlayment designed to act as a barrier against moisture and ice. At the lowest edge of the roof, eave trim was installed over the underlayment to function as a drip edge, guiding water safely away from the structure. With the base layers in place, the installers carefully positioned the seamless metal roofing panels, overlapping each one so the underlap remained beneath the overlap side to ensure water-tight performance.
To finish the system, the Vita Roofing team installed gable and rake trim along the sides of the roof to seal the exposed edges. Butyl tape was used for additional sealing, while foam closure strips were applied with sealant at both the eaves and ridge to prevent insects and rain from entering beneath the panels. The final step was installing the ridge cap across the roof’s peak, followed by securing everything with heavy-duty fasteners placed strategically to withstand strong winds. The completed metal roof not only enhanced Marcus’ home visually but also delivered the long-term durability he needed in North Dakota’s demanding climate.
