When Barstool Sports’ Kevin Clancy (@KFCBarstool) ran into issues with other contractors on his home remodel, he went to social media to ask for help with his leaking natural slate roof.
The Challenge: A Century-Old Roof & Drafty Windows
Kevin’s home, with its natural slate roof and aging windows, was beautiful, but it was also a prime example of a classic problem. Old materials, while charming, can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. His property’s significant tree overhang was a major concern. Natural slate is heavy and can be incredibly difficult to maintain and repair, and the constant threat of falling branches or debris from the trees could easily damage the brittle material, leading to costly issues. Additionally, the original windows were likely letting in drafts and driving up energy bills. Kevin needed a solution that would preserve the classic look of his home while giving him a modern, worry-free system.
Our Solution: Brava Slate & Andersen 400 Series Windows
For the roof, we replaced the old, heavy slate with Brava slate. This composite material offers the gorgeous, authentic look of natural slate without the weight and fragility. It’s a game-changer that provides superior durability and a long lifespan, meaning Kevin won’t have to worry about replacing his roof again anytime soon.
To complete the transformation, we installed Andersen 400 Series windows throughout the home. These windows are a top choice for a reason. They blend the timeless style of a traditional wood interior with a low-maintenance, vinyl-clad exterior. This means Kevin gets the classic look he wants with the energy efficiency and durability he needs. The Andersen 400 Series is known for its quality and performance, making it a smart, long-term investment.
The Uncontractor Way
From our first meeting to the final cleanup, we made sure to keep Kevin informed every step of the way. We used drones to get a detailed view of his roof, provided him with a clear online quote in under an hour, and made sure our team took extra care to protect his property during the installation. That’s the Gunner Difference: we’re dedicated to bringing clarity, professionalism, and heart to every single job.
Kevin’s home is a testament to the fact that you can have the best of both worlds—the traditional beauty of a classic home with the modern performance and peace of mind that only Gunner can provide.
