Insurance Repair — Tree Fall Damage, Spec Pond
An insurance repair job on a lakefront home on Spec Pond in Lancaster, MA after a massive pine tree fell on the house during a spring storm. The before photos capture the full extent of the impact damage: the trunk across the driveway, branches draped over the roof in the rain, a completely blown-out eave with rafters exposed, the timber frame post and knee brace snapped at the exterior, and interior shots showing the structural devastation. The tear-off revealed decades of deferred maintenance on top of the storm damage — completely rotted ridge boards with large bore holes from insect damage, failed lead chimney flashing torn away from the stone chimney, crumbling mortar at the chimney base, and framing so deteriorated it crumbled by hand. Blanchflower handled the full scope from structural framing to a complete interior rebuild including new cabinets, countertops, flooring, and finishes. The tree brought the roof down, but what was underneath told the real story.
Full Exterior — Roofing, James Hardie Siding & Azek Trim
A complete exterior transformation on a ranch home in Lancaster, MA. The before photos show the full scope: original wood clapboard siding weathered and faded throughout all four elevations, an aging roof with a failing skylight and deteriorated flashing at the brick chimney, and mismatched materials at the addition junction with failing trim. New James Hardie fiber cement siding, a full GAF roof replacement, and all new Azek cellular PVC trim throughout.
Full Roof Replacement — Ranch Home
A full roof replacement on a large ranch home in Lancaster, MA. The tear-off revealed two layers of existing shingles — a sure sign the roof had been patched over rather than properly replaced. The before photos tell the full story: severely cracked and crazed shingles throughout, heavy lichen and algae growth across every plane, completely blown-out decking at the eave with daylight visible through the sheathing, and failing step flashing at a large brick chimney with vines growing into the mortar joints. Blanchflower performed a full two-layer tear-off, replaced all damaged decking with new CDX plywood, installed a new Velux skylight, all new Azek trim, and a complete GAF roofing system. The lower wall was also re-sided with cedar shingles.
Apartment Complex — 3 Exit Door Roof Replacements
Commercial roofing and carpentry work on a brick apartment complex in Woburn, MA — full tear-down, reframe, trim, and re-roof of three exit door canopies. The before photos show the full scope: failing shingles, rotted wood posts, deteriorated fascia and trim, and failing step flashing at the brick walls. All three canopies were rebuilt from the ground up with new framing, Azek PVC trim, and GAF roofing.
Home & Farm — Full Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement on a sprawling New England home and farm property — multiple roof planes, a large stone chimney, and a classic red barn. The during photos tell the story: full tear-off across every plane, original board decking exposed and assessed, GAF StormGuard leak barrier installed throughout, new step and chimney flashing fabricated on site, and the crew working across the house and barn simultaneously. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal throughout.
Full Exterior Remodel — Roofing, Siding, Trim & More
A comprehensive exterior remodel on a colonial home in Reading, MA. The before photos tell the story — failing EPDM rubber roofing with peeling edges, a rusted pipe boot, severely rotted stair stringers, weathered rear deck and railings, and deteriorated siding at the foundation. Blanchflower handled it all: new EPDM rubber roofing on the flat section, GAF Timberline HDZ on the pitched roof, CertainTeed Monogram siding throughout, a new front door with a new roof over the entry, all-new Azek PVC trim, 2 new windows, extensive rot repair, new white seamless gutters, new masonry paint on the foundation, and new railings on the rear.
Full Roof Replacement — Colonial Home
Full roof replacement on a large colonial home with multiple dormers, intersecting roof planes, and a three-car garage. GAF StormGuard leak barrier installed across every plane before a single shingle went down. New OSB decking installed where needed. The during photos show the full Blanchflower crew working simultaneously across the entire roof — this is what an organized, well-run job site looks like.
Roofing — Drone Documentation
Full roof replacement captured with drone photography before and after completion. The during shot shows the full tear-off underway — old shingles stripped, decking exposed, and the crew working across multiple roof planes simultaneously. The after shot shows the completed GAF Timberline HDZ roof in Charcoal, clean lines and a sharp finished product.
Historic Gambrel — Roofing & Cedar Siding
Full roof replacement and cedar clapboard siding restoration on a classic New England Gambrel-style home. This project required careful attention to the roof-to-wall junctions throughout — wherever the roof meets the siding, we removed the existing cedar clapboards to install new aluminum step flashing and ice and water shield along every roof/wall junction before reinstalling the cedar. This is the right way to do it, and the only way we do it.
Full Exterior Renovation & Carport Rebuild
Complete exterior transformation including new siding, roofing, and a full carport demolition and rebuild — engineered to allow the homeowner to park inside.
National Historic Home — Full Exterior Renovation
Complete exterior restoration of a national historic home, preserving its architectural character while bringing every system up to modern standards. The before photos tell the story — peeling paint, rotting wood, failing rooflines — and the after photos show what skilled craftsmanship can achieve.
Roofing, Trim & Cupola Rebuild
Full roof replacement with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Pewter Grey, new Azek cellular PVC trim throughout, and a complete rebuild of the cupola — topped with a classic weather vane. The results speak for themselves against the stunning fall foliage backdrop.
Roofing — Aerial Documentation
GAF Timberline HDZ roofing project captured with drone photography, showcasing the full scope of the completed roof, cupola flashing, and chimney details from above. The during shots highlight our crew's efficiency and the premium GAF underlayment system installed beneath every shingle.
