About Roof Replacement
The project type called Roof Replacement covers removal, repairs to the substrate and installation of fresh layers; material, color and system are chosen to fit the building and its setting; the old roofing is disposed of as the work proceeds.
The Roof Replacement service is scoped around the building and the condition of its roof, and the details vary from property to property; a walk-through after the work confirms the result matches the plan; the plan separates repairs from upgrades.
How our Roof Replacement work goes
- Start with a careful roof assessment An inspection covers the roof covering, the edges, the valleys and every place where something passes through the roof; where the decking or structure may be affected, that is flagged before any decisions are made; the pitch, height and access of the roof are noted so the work can be planned safely; a moisture meter or camera may be used on suspect areas.
Common questions about Roof Replacement
Is ventilation important for roofing?
Poor ventilation can trap heat in summer and moisture in winter; insulation and air sealing in the attic are part of the same picture; soffit vents bring air in at the eaves and ridge vents let it out at the top.
Why is roof flashing so important?
Chimneys, skylights, valleys and wall intersections all depend on flashing to stay dry; a contractor can explain how each transition will be flashed; valley flashing channels water down the roof.
Roof Replacement options and materials
Laminated shingles
The thicker profile gives the roof more texture and a more substantial appearance; matching the style to the architecture and the street gives a pleasing result; matching hip and ridge pieces finish the look.
Asphalt shingles
They are light, familiar to nearly every roofing crew and compatible with a wide range of roof shapes; a contractor can explain the differences between product lines; algae-resistant granules are offered for damp, shaded roofs.
