A Roof Replacement on Chevy Chase in Dallas – 20 Years Later
It’s not every week that we get the chance to revisit a roof we originally installed two decades ago, but that’s exactly what happened on a recent project along Chevy Chase in Dallas. Yes, that’s the real name of the street – no relation to the actor! Back in the early 2000s, Bert Roofing installed the original roof on this classic ranch-style home. After twenty years of Texas heat, storms, and wear, it was time for an upgrade.
A Familiar Home in Preston Hollow
This property sits in the Preston Hollow neighborhood, near Preston Road and Northwest Highway. The home has been beautifully maintained and updated over the years, including a fresh white brick exterior. When it came time for a new roof, the owners called us back, remembering the quality and professionalism from the last install. For a family-owned Dallas roofing company like ours, repeat customers are one of the best compliments we can receive.
What We Found Underneath
During tear-off, we uncovered areas of rotten decking around the chimney. As you can see in the photo, improper flashing details from the original construction had allowed water intrusion over time. Our crews replaced the damaged decking and installed new flashing to bring everything up to current building code. This step is critical to ensure the long-term health of the roof system.
The New Roof System
For the new roof, the homeowners chose GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in a neutral tone that blends perfectly with the updated exterior. As a GAF Preferred Contractor, Bert Roofing can offer enhanced warranty protection that most roofers cannot. You can learn more about Timberline HDZ shingles directly from GAF’s website.
The finished result gives the home a crisp, clean look with the added peace of mind that comes with a full system replacement.
Before & After Comparison
Nothing tells the story quite like a side-by-side view. Below, you can see the improvement from the weathered 20-year-old shingles to the brand-new installation.
