Project overview

Preserving the architecture. Renewing the exterior.

This Robert Anderson-designed home sits on a wooded hillside on Tyne Boulevard, with tall glass walls and a mix of flat and sloped rooflines. The owners wanted to restore its intended appearance with materials suited to long-term performance.

Underdog Roofing replaced damaged siding, renewed the low-slope and metal roofs, and installed custom skylights. Each detail was planned around the home’s distinctive vertical lines and roof transitions.

The challenge

Distinctive architecture. Extensive exterior damage.

The painted wood siding had extensive rot and animal damage. The existing TPO on the flat roof sections and metal on the sloped sections were also ready for replacement.

A standard siding installation would have changed the home’s appearance. Tall walls, a steep wooded lot, and the connections between glass, siding, roof planes, and skylights required careful staging and layout.

The work

Rebuilding the details that define the home.

01 / Layered fiber cement siding

Crews installed flat Hardie panels first, then vertical Hardie boards over them to recreate the depth and shadow lines of the original wood siding.

02 / Careful staging & alignment

Pump-jack staging and ladder work provided access to the tall walls. Boards were aligned around windows, corners, and soffits.

03 / Tapered TPO roofing

The old TPO was removed. The replacement TPO system sits over tapered insulation to direct water toward drainage points.

04 / True standing seam metal

The sloped roof sections received a true standing seam metal panel system in keeping with the home’s clean architectural lines.

05 / Custom skylights & flashing

Custom skylights include fabricated uphill crickets to divert water around the curbs. Roof-to-wall transitions were flashed and detailed by hand.

The result

The original character, restored with care.

Dark vertical siding and renewed rooflines bring the home’s architectural character back into focus against the surrounding trees. The layered siding recreates the original depth with fiber cement materials.

Tapered TPO, standing seam metal, and carefully detailed skylights address the different demands of the home’s roof sections while preserving its distinctive design.
