What you are looking at
From the back yard, the house shows its layout: a two-story center with an exterior stair to the upper deck, a long one-story wing to one side and a screened porch at the far end. All of it now sits under the same brown blend roof.
The ridge photos look along the peaks. A low, continuous ridge vent runs down the center of each ridge under the cap shingles, letting warm attic air out along the whole length instead of through a few separate vents.
The pipe close-up shows a plumbing vent coming through the roof on a flanged boot. The new shingles lap over the top of the flange and tuck under at the bottom, so water runs over the boot instead of behind it.
The front entry sits under a deep gable with stone veneer on the lower wall, and the porch ceiling has recessed lights in the soffit.
The lot is big and open with a mowed lawn, a stand of oaks along one side and farm fields beyond, photographed on a cloudless October day.
A screened porch at the end of the wing has its own low roof, and it ties into the main roof line with the same shingle. In the wide yard photo, you can follow one continuous roof edge from the porch all the way to the two-story center.
Sedona Canyon is one of Owens Corning's Designer Colors, and the multi-tone blend sits on the same Duration shingle, SureNail strip and 130 mph wind rating included. On a Kimball roof, a shingle that stays nailed flat in summer wind is also one that keeps drifting snow and meltwater from getting under the edges.
