In June 2026, Crafted Exterior Services replaced the roof on a one-story home in Waynesboro, PA, in Franklin County. The 21-square project covered the main roof in Owens Corning Duration shingles in Onyx Black, plus a low-slope rear section that needed its own preparation.

About the area
Waynesboro is in the Cumberland Valley of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, about two miles north of the Mason-Dixon line between Hagerstown and Chambersburg. It is home to Renfrew Museum and Park.
Before the project
The challenge and how we solved it
The challenge: besides the main pitched roof, this home has a low-slope rear section. Water drains off a low-slope roof much more slowly, so it needs different preparation than the rest of the house.
The solution: the crew prepared the low-slope rear section separately, then installed the main roof with Owens Corning Duration shingles over synthetic underlayment, with ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys.
What we did
- Removed the existing roofing down to the decking so every board and sheet could be inspected.
- Installed white PVC-coated drip edge around the entire perimeter.
- Installed Owens Corning ProArmor synthetic underlayment.
- Installed ice and water shield along all eaves and in every valley.
- Installed starter shingles around the full perimeter of the roof.
- Installed Owens Corning Duration shingles with SureNail Technology, hand-nailed with six nails per shingle.
- Installed Lifetime Ultimate pipe flashing boots and painted the pipes to match the roof.
- Installed VentSure ridge vent along the ridges and capped it with matching hip and ridge shingles.
The finished project
Why these materials
Owens Corning Duration shingles in Onyx Black. Owens Corning rates Duration shingles Class 3 for impact resistance and builds them with SureNail Technology, a reinforced nailing strip with Triple Layer Protection in the nailing zone for stronger holding power. The shingles are algae resistant to help control dark streaking. Owens Corning lists a 130 mph wind warranty, rising to 160 mph when its required components and starter shingles on the eaves and rakes are installed (see the manufacturer warranty for details).
Owens Corning ProArmor synthetic underlayment. Owens Corning says ProArmor repels water better than 15 lb felt, resists stretching and tearing around fasteners, and has a slip-resistant surface that gives the crew safer footing on steep roofs.
Ice and water shield. A self-adhering waterproof membrane installed along the eaves and in the valleys, the two places where ice dams and wind-driven rain are most likely to push water under shingles.
Owens Corning VentSure ridge vent. The ridge vent works with the intake vents to move heat and moisture out of the attic. Owens Corning notes that a cool, dry attic helps protect the roof and prevent leaks from ice dams.
White PVC-coated drip edge. Metal edging along the eaves and rakes that directs water into the gutters and away from the fascia, finished in white.
Lifetime Ultimate pipe boots. Pipe penetrations are a common leak point, so every plumbing vent got a new flashing boot, and the pipes were painted to match the roof.
Keeping your roof in good shape
- Clear leaves and debris off the low-slope section after storms. Water drains slowly there, so debris that holds water is a bigger risk.
- Clean the gutters and downspouts after the leaves drop in the fall, so water drains off the eaves instead of backing up under the shingles.
- Walk around and look at the roof from the ground after major wind or hail storms. The National Weather Service State College office posts storm warnings for this area, and missing or creased shingles should be checked by a roofer before the next rain.
- Keep the attic vents open. Insulation pushed against the soffit vents blocks the airflow the ridge vent depends on, and a warm attic is what melts snow into ice dams.
- Have the pipe boots and flashing looked at every few years. Those joints are where small leaks usually start.
- Never pressure wash the shingles. It strips the protective granules off the surface.
