Residential IKO Cambridge Roof Replacement in Lewisville, TX

A homeowner in Lewisville, TX engaged Firefighter Roofing for a full roof replacement after aging 3-tab shingles and a worn low-slope section left the home vulnerable to leaks. Working with Auto Owners Insurance, the project upgraded the roof to IKO Cambridge architectural shingles in Dual Black and refreshed the modified bitumen area for long-term performance.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: 3,535 sq. ft. shingles + 200 sq. ft. modified bitumen
• Material: IKO Cambridge architectural shingles, Dual Black
• Insurer: Auto Owners Insurance
• Warranty: 5-year labor warranty
• Location: Lewisville, TX

Challenge: Aging 3-Tab System and Worn Low-Slope Membrane

The home’s original 25-year 3-tab shingles had exceeded their useful life, showing wear that increased the risk of moisture intrusion. A small low-slope area with modified bitumen also needed attention to restore watertight integrity. Without a comprehensive replacement, the homeowner faced continued maintenance issues and potential interior water damage.

Solution: Architectural Upgrade with Targeted Low-Slope Restoration

Firefighter Roofing performed a complete tear-off and installation, upgrading pitched areas to IKO Cambridge shingles in Dual Black and renewing the low-slope section with modified bitumen. The scope refreshed flashing, ventilation, and drainage components to meet current standards.

• Removed existing 3-tab shingles and underlayment; installed architectural shingle system over 3,535 sq. ft. of pitched roof.
• Replaced 200 sq. ft. of modified bitumen on the low-slope area for a clean, watertight tie-in.
• Installed new hip/ridge, drip edge, and pipe-jack flashings for reliable weatherproofing.
• Updated roof accessories: turbines, rain caps, and a skylight flashing kit; replaced chimney chase cover.
• Improved drainage with new aluminum gutters and downspouts (92 linear feet).
• Final cleanup and debris haul-off for a professional finish.

Result: Stronger Weather Protection, Better Curb Appeal, Real Peace of Mind

The new roofing system provides a step-change in durability and rain/wind protection versus the retired 3-tab roof, while the refreshed modified bitumen ensures reliable performance on the low-slope section. The Dual Black architectural profile boosts curb appeal, and the 5-year labor warranty gives the homeowner added confidence for years to come.

Trust & Proof: Warranty-Backed Workmanship and Documented Scope

The project followed a clear, insurance-approved scope with documented quantities for shingles, modified bitumen, flashings, ventilation, skylight kit, and gutters. Labor is backed by a 5-year warranty, aligning with Firefighter Roofing’s roofing services and installation standards.
