What Is Included in a Roof Replacement?

If you’re planning a roof replacement, it’s crucial to understand the full scope of what such a project entails. A roof replacement is not just about removing old shingles and replacing them with new ones; it’s a comprehensive process designed to ensure your home’s protection and enhance its aesthetic appeal. Let’s go over each step of the process in detail.

Removal of the Old Roof

The first step in the roof replacement process is the removal of your old roof. This involves stripping away all the existing roofing materials down to the deck. This step is essential, as it allows for a thorough inspection of the underlying deck, ensuring there are no issues like rot or structural damage that need to be addressed before the new roof is installed.

Deck Inspection and Repair

After the old materials have been removed, the next step is to inspect the deck for any signs of damage. If any issues are identified during this inspection, your roofing contractor will repair or replace your decking as needed. Ensuring the deck is in good condition is critical for the longevity of your new roof.

Installation of Underlayment

Before the new shingles are laid, a water-resistant underlayment is installed over the deck. This underlayment serves as an additional barrier against water, protecting your home from the harsh weather. It is a critical step in the roof replacement process, as it helps to safeguard the roof’s structural components from moisture damage.

Shingle Installation

The selection and installation of new shingles make up the visible aspect of your roof replacement. Each shingle is meticulously installed, ensuring a tight seal and a uniform look across your roof.

Flashing, Ventilation, and Insulation

Proper installation of flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations is critical to prevent water from seeping into your home. Additionally, ensuring your roof has enough ventilation and insulation is essential for maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your home and preventing ice dams and excessive wear on your shingles.

Clean-Up and Final Inspection

The final step in a roof replacement is a comprehensive clean-up of the worksite and a final inspection of the newly installed roof. This ensures that all debris is removed and that the installation meets industry standards. The goal is to leave your property in pristine condition, with a brand-new roof that enhances both the protection and curb appeal of your home.

Manny and his men are very professional and do high quality workmanship. The crew showed up exactly when they said they were going to. The polite and respectful men worked steadily and swiftly while paying attention to detail. The cupola on my home required a lot of skill. It came out perfect. They made sure that my neighbor's property was protected. They thoroughly inspected the ground / driveway for debris. When the crew was done you would have never known that they were there except for the beautiful roof that they left behind. These guys are the best!

Thank you for doing such a great job with our roofing needs. Our roof needed a little more help than we thought, but you stayed on your toes and kept up with the flow and repairs. Thank you again.

Manny and his crew were great. My mother hired them to do gutters on her three family. She called many companies which didn't even have thee courtesy to call back. Shine came and ontime. He even returned after National Grid's extremely unprofessional halt to the project, putting a two month wait to complete the job. My mother said she would recommend this company without question. I'm told I missed something. This company will not accept any payment until the job is done. My mother tried many times to get them to take partial payment at least as the hold up was not their fault and Manny refused. Hard to find this kind of honor today. :) Thank you for treating my mother well.

I had been debating putting on a new roof; decided to call to get a quote. Manny came out the next day. The price was great! He and his team replaced my roof and rotten boards the following week- in 1 day! It was great. Very professional. Sent me pictures during the process, showed me the boards he thought needed replacement. Really a great experience! I highly recommend them.
