Something was hiding in this Attic and the Homeowners have No Idea.

There’s a moment every homeowner dreads when they look up at their ceiling and think,

“Please don’t let that be what I think it is.”

 That’s exactly what happened to one New Hampshire family this past month.

It began with a small drip. Soft, subtle, the kind you try to ignore. But small problems have a way of reappearing… and this time, the drip turned into a faint stain spreading across the closet ceiling of their bedroom. That’s when they called Gorilla Roofing Pros.

The First Visit: Seeing the Real Problem

When we arrived, we could hear the concern in the homeowner’s voice. This wasn’t just about a roof, this was about a home full of memories.

During our inspection, the signs were clear:

• Curling shingles that had reached the end of their life

• Soft spots on the roof decking caused by moisture

• Outdated flashing around the chimney

• Underlayment that was worn down

• Excessive moisture throughout the attic

• Multiple areas where chimney flashing had completely failed

• Water making its way into the attic and eventually seeping down into the closet

• No proper ventilation system, causing heat and moisture buildup

The roof wasn’t just old, it was failing in several critical areas.

We walked the homeowners through everything we found. We showed them actual photos, so they could see the issues themselves, rather than relying on someone simply saying, “Your roof is leaking.” Facts over fear, that’s how we do things.

And with another tough New England winter on the way, they knew it was time for a real solution.

Planning the Right Fix

The homeowners didn’t want temporary patchwork. They wanted to understand what it would take, what repairs were needed, and how much it would cost to finally fix the problem the right way.

Together, we decided on a full roof replacement that would protect their home for years to come.

Our plan included:

• Complete shingle tear-off

• Decking repairs where moisture damage was present

• High-quality underlayment installation

• Reinforced flashing around the chimney and vents

• Proper roof ventilation to prevent moisture buildup

• A new, modern roofing system built for New Hampshire weather

We explained each step in detail, clear, simple, and transparent.

Day One: Getting to Work

I met the homeowner personally that morning to walk them through the process one more time.

Then, the project officially began:

• Dumpster and materials were delivered

• Our team prepped the property and protected the landscaping and siding

• The tear-off started under the early morning sun

As we removed the old roof, we found even more hidden moisture damage but nothing our team couldn’t handle. We fixed every weakened area so the new roof would have a strong foundation.

Piece by piece, the new roofing system came together:

• Underlayment installed smoothly

• Ventilation upgraded

• Flashing reinforced

• Shingles aligned cleanly under the afternoon light

By the end of the day, the home already looked refreshed like it could finally breathe again.

The Finished Roof: Built to Last

When we stepped back to look at the final result, the transformation was clear:

• A fully protected, leak-free roofing system

• Stronger resistance against storms, moisture, and wind

• Proper ventilation to prevent future attic moisture

• A clean, modern look that boosted the home’s curb appeal

• Peace of mind for the homeowners

They told us they finally felt relieved knowing their home and family were protected.
