What Roof-Replacement Includes
A full replacement starts with a roof inspection and a written roof estimate. The crew tears off old shingle, felt, and tar paper down to the roof deck.
- Inspect sheathing, rafters, and truss for rot
- Replace damaged plywood, OSB, or decking
- Install ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves
- Lay synthetic underlayment over the substrate
- Set drip edge, flashing, and pipe boot
- Finish ridge cap, ridge vent, and ventilation
Materials include architectural shingle, three-tab shingle, metal panel, and membrane systems. Crews use a nail gun, roofing shovel, and pry bar. A dumpster hauls debris; cleanup follows.
Quality & Materials Standards
Material choice depends on pitch, substrate, and budget. Steep gable and hip roofs suit architectural shingle or standing-seam panel. Low-slope areas need modified bitumen, TPO, or EPDM membrane.
Proper waterproofing matters more than brand. Step flashing, counter-flashing, and chimney flashing must seal every seam. Soffit vent and ridge vent keep attic ventilation steady, cutting heat and moisture.
Building code governs fasteners, underlayment, and ice-and-water shield placement. After storm damage, file an insurance claim and meet the adjuster. Keep claim documentation, know your deductible, and review the scope of work. A supplement may follow the proof of loss.
