Everett Roof Replacement with GAF Timberline HDZ Charcoal

This Everett roofing project involved a full replacement using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal. The system includes upgraded ridge ventilation, ice and water protection at critical areas, and precision flashing. Built for durability in the Pacific Northwest, this roof provides long-term protection and improved airflow.

Project Overview

This single-family home in Everett, WA required a full roof replacement due to aging composition shingles. With a 5/12 pitch and moderate tree coverage, proper ventilation and moisture protection were key priorities. The project began with a complete tear-off down to the roof deck, followed by inspection and targeted replacement using CDX plywood where needed. GAF WeatherWatch ice and water shield was installed around penetrations, valleys, and the chimney to prevent leaks in high-risk areas. A synthetic underlayment was installed across the remaining deck for added moisture protection. The new roofing system features GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal, paired with starter shingles and ridge cap for a clean, uniform finish. Ventilation was improved by replacing the existing ridge vent system and adding proper airflow components. Additional upgrades included new lead pipe boots, metal flashing, chimney flashing, and counter flashing to ensure long-term waterproofing.

Results

The finished roof delivers both performance and visual improvement. The Charcoal color gives the home a clean, modern look while complementing the surrounding landscape. With improved ventilation, upgraded flashing, and enhanced moisture barriers, the home is now better protected against leaks, mold, and weather-related wear. This system is designed to perform reliably in Everett’s wet climate for years to come.
