Replacement
When the answer is a new roof
We are a repair-first company. Sometimes the repair is not enough.
When the photo report says the roof is at the end of its life, or the deck is wet in many places, we write a replacement estimate with the options side by side. You decide, and a replacement only starts after you sign.
Written options, side by side
A per-sheet price for bad decking, stated in advance
Permit pulled by us
Clean-up with a magnet sweep
What a replacement includes
Everything under the shingles
Tear-off and disposal
The old roof comes off down to the deck, and goes to the dump.
A deck check
We look at every sheet. Bad sheets are replaced at the per-sheet price on your estimate.
Underlayment and edges
Underlayment, drip edge and starter, so the edges shed water.
Flashing and vents
New flashing at every wall, chimney and pipe, and new vents.
Shingles and ridge
The shingles you picked, ridge caps and the nailing the maker requires.
Permit and clean-up
The permit, the final sweep and the warranty papers.
The job
How a replacement runs
- 01
Step 1: Before the crew arrives
Move cars, take pictures off the walls, cover what is in the attic.
- 02
Step 2: Day one
Tear-off and deck check. We dry in whatever we open before we leave.
- 03
Step 3: Day two
Underlayment, flashing and shingles. A steep or complicated roof takes longer.
- 04
Step 4: The last day
Ridge, vents, clean-up and a walk-around. The warranty papers come after.
Replacement questions
Before you sign
How long does a replacement take?
Most homes take one to three days. Steep or complicated roofs take longer, and bad weather can stretch it.
What if it rains during the job?
We tear off only what we can dry in the same day and cover what is open. If rain is coming, we stop.
Do I need a permit?
For a full replacement, almost always. We pull it and put the fee on the estimate.
Do you require a deposit, and do you offer financing?
The deposit and payment schedule are written on the estimate before you sign. This site does not advertise financing.
Not sure it needs replacing?
Start with the repair. The photo report will say.
