Roof Replacement Photo Album: Gable Replacement in Levelland, Texas
Mr. Gavin of Levelland, Texas, recently contacted Fortenberry Roofing Co. with concerns about the damaged gable on the west side of his home. Miguel M., a specialist from our service department, promptly visited the property to provide a free roofing and exterior inspection and estimate. Upon evaluation, Miguel determined that the damaged gable would need to be removed and reframed to create an attic access point. The project included the installation of new Hardie cement board siding, a hinged attic access door, and painting to match the existing exterior. Mr. Gavin was thrilled with the plan and eager to move forward. Our team quickly organized the work, with Leo, our lead roofing technician, heading up the job. Leo and his crew efficiently began by removing the damaged siding section by section, replacing the old plywood with SmartSide panels while maintaining level and straight lines throughout the process. New 1x2 trim pieces were custom-made and installed to match the original design. To ensure a professional finish and long-term durability, all boards and siding sheets were painted before installation, and all seams were meticulously caulked. Once the siding was complete, the team installed the new attic access door, finished with painted and sealed trim, and metal edging for added protection. The project was completed on time and with great attention to detail. Mr. Gavin was excited about the improved functionality and refreshed look of his home, and the Fortenberry Roofing Co. team was proud to deliver another high-quality roofing and exterior service to a satisfied homeowner.
