Complete Roof Replacement Solutions

Is your roof showing signs of age? Multiple leaks, curling shingles, or high energy bills? A new roof is one of the best investments for your home's value and protection. We offer three replacement approaches to fit your needs and budget.

RECOMMENDED • GOLD STANDARD

Full Tear-Off

The complete removal of all existing roofing layers down to the wood deck. This is the most thorough approach and allows for full inspection and any necessary deck repairs.

What's included:
  • Complete removal of all layers
  • Deck inspection and repairs
  • New underlayment installation
  • New flashing and accessories
  • Complete site cleanup with magnets
Best for:
  • Roofs with 2+ existing layers
  • Suspected deck rot or damage
  • Maximum longevity (new 30-year roof)
  • Changing roof material type
Our tear-off process:
  1. Protect landscaping with tarps and plywood
  2. Remove all shingles, underlayment, and flashing
  3. Inspect and replace any damaged decking
  4. Install ice & water shield in valleys and eaves
  5. Install synthetic underlayment
  6. Install new shingles and accessories
  7. Magnetic sweep for nails and debris

Timeline: 2-4 days average home

Warranty: 30-year material + 10-year workmanship

BUDGET-FRIENDLY OPTION

Re-Roofing (Layer Over)

A new roof installed directly over existing shingles (where local codes permit). This is faster and more affordable, but only recommended when the existing structure is sound.

Advantages:
  • 20-30% cost savings
  • Faster installation (1-2 days)
  • Less mess and cleanup
  • No dumpster fees for old layers
Requirements:
  • Only one existing layer allowed
  • Deck must be in good condition
  • Local building code approval
  • No active leaks or rot
Important considerations:

Adding a second layer hides the deck from inspection. Any existing issues won't be discovered. The new roof may not lie perfectly flat over uneven old shingles. Most manufacturers still provide full warranty.

Cost comparison: Re-roof typically $3.50-$4.50/sq ft vs tear-off $5.50-$7.00/sq ft

CRITICAL PROTECTION LAYER

Roof Underlayment

The waterproof barrier between your deck and shingles. Often overlooked, quality underlayment is your last line of defense against leaks.

Types we install:
  • Synthetic (premium): Tear-resistant, UV stable
  • Asphalt-saturated felt: Traditional #15 or #30
  • Ice & Water Shield: Self-adhering membrane
Critical zones:
  • Valleys
  • Eaves (ice dam protection)
  • Around chimneys/skylights
  • Pipe penetrations
Why upgrade to synthetic underlayment?

Modern synthetic underlayment lasts longer if exposed during construction, provides better walkability, and offers superior tear resistance. It's our standard recommendation for all tear-offs.

Upgrade cost: Synthetic adds approximately $0.20-$0.40/sq ft vs standard felt

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a full tear-off or can do re-roof?

We'll inspect your current roof. If you already have two layers, tear-off is required. If there's any soft decking or active leaks, tear-off is strongly recommended. Most homeowners prefer tear-off for the fresh start and warranty.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Average home (2,000-2,500 sq ft) takes 2-4 days for tear-off and new installation. Weather can affect timing. We'll provide a schedule upfront.

Will you protect my landscaping?

Absolutely. We use plywood runners over fragile areas, tarps on shrubs, and place dumpsters away from landscaping. After completion, we magnet-sweep the entire property.

Do I need to be home during replacement?

Not required. Most homeowners are at work. We'll provide daily updates and photos. You'll only need to be present for final walkthrough and payment.
