The Complete Roof Replacement Process
A roof replacement is one of the most significant investments a homeowner makes, and the process deserves more than a one-day crew blasting through the job and leaving. We start every project with a pre-installation inspection of the roof deck — removing all existing shingles and underlayment exposes the substrate, and we repair any rotted or delaminated sheathing before a single piece of new material goes on. Skipping this step is the source of most premature roof failures: new shingles on a compromised deck will never perform as rated.
Once the deck is confirmed sound, we install synthetic underlayment (not felt paper), self-adhering ice and water barrier at eaves and valleys, and metal drip edge at all perimeter edges before laying shingles. These steps add cost but prevent the most common failure points — ice damming at eaves, water infiltration at valleys, and fascia rot from inadequate edge metal. We finish every ridge with ventilated ridge cap to complete the attic ventilation circuit, and all pipe boots, chimney flashings, and skylight counter-flashings are replaced as part of a full system install.
Choosing the Right Shingles
We install architectural (laminated) shingles as our standard offering — they perform significantly better than three-tab in wind resistance and impact tests, carry longer warranties, and have a dimensional profile that looks far better on most home styles. Our preferred product lines carry Class 4 impact-resistance ratings (the highest available), which can qualify homeowners for insurance discounts in hail-prone regions. We carry samples from multiple manufacturers and color families so you can select what looks right for your home.
For premium applications, we offer designer shingle lines that replicate the look of cedar shake or natural slate at a fraction of the weight and maintenance burden. These are excellent choices for homes with steep, highly visible pitches where the roof is a dominant architectural feature. We'll walk through the options honestly — the premium lines cost more and in many cases the added cost is justified, but we'll never upsell you on aesthetics when standard architectural shingles will serve the structure equally well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask most about this service.
Most residential replacements are completed in one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. A straightforward 20-square ranch-style roof is typically done in a single day. Steep pitches, complex roof lines with multiple dormers or valleys, or multi-story homes may run two days. We aim to have your home fully watertight before we leave each day — no leaving bare decking exposed overnight if there's any chance of rain.
You don't need to be present, but many homeowners prefer to be home for the start of the job and for the final walkthrough. What we do need: clear access to your driveway and yard for equipment and dumpster placement, power access for compressors and saws, and confirmation of any access restrictions (locked gates, buried utilities in the yard, fragile landscaping). We'll discuss all of this at the pre-installation walkthrough.
New roofs carry two distinct warranties: manufacturer's product warranty and contractor workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on architectural shingles typically range from 30 years to lifetime, with coverage that becomes non-prorated after a qualifying period. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects — improper fastening, missed flashings, improper overlap — for 5 years on standard installs. Some manufacturer programs (requiring certified contractor status) extend the system warranty and add a separate workmanship coverage tier. We'll explain what applies to your specific job before you sign.
A tear-off is almost always the better choice, and it's the only option we recommend. Most building codes allow one overlay (a second layer on top of the original), but overlaying hides the condition of the deck and adds weight that accelerates deck stress. Overlays also result in a less flat final surface — ridges and waves from the old shingles telegraph through — and they add complexity to any future replacement. The savings from skipping tear-off are real but short-lived; the hidden costs surface in 10-15 years when the roof needs replacement again and the deck is in worse shape than it would have been.
