Salem roof replacement
Salem is a real city route for our Charlestown crew. the Washington County courthouse square is the landmark we use, and agricultural hail and winter mixes that the Knobs wring out

What a replacement includes in Salem
We do not price Salem, IN by satellite. brick storefronts converted upstairs, and a ring of older frame houses off the square.
On Salem roofs, Owens Corning architectural shingles are the laminate we install most, and Sand Dune is a color Washington County homeowners keep asking for when they want a warm gray-tan that does not fight the brick. Where a Salem roof wants metal instead, we price Steel Guard shingles as their own system. GAF architectural shingles are an option when a match or a budget calls for them. We do not invent a certification level we do not hold.
Salem chimneys are part of the roof. A bid that says 'flashing as needed' is not a bid. We count chimneys on the walk.
Decking, intake, and the ridge

Ventilation follows the house, not a default box vent. agricultural hail and winter mixes that the Knobs wring out Intake at the eave and a ridge that can actually exhaust matter more here than a thicker shingle marketing line.
