Shingle replacement means tearing off everything down to the decking, inspecting the structure underneath, and rebuilding your roof system layer by layer. It’s not just slapping new shingles on top.
First, we protect your property. Tarps cover landscaping, magnetic sweepers grab nails before they puncture tires, and plywood shields windows from falling debris. Your lawn and driveway look the same when we’re done as when we started.
Tear-off happens fast—usually one day for most homes. That’s when we discover what’s really going on with your roof deck. Soft spots mean water damage. Sagging means structural issues. We document everything, show you photos, and explain what needs fixing before any new materials go on.
New underlayment goes down next. This is your real waterproof barrier, and we don’t cheap out here. Then drip edge, valley flashing, and pipe boot replacements around every penetration. These details determine whether your roof leaks in year two or year twenty.
Shingles get installed to manufacturer specs—proper nail placement, correct overlap, starter strips at eaves. We use six nails per shingle, not four, because wind uplift is real and we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners. Ridge cap finishes the job, and we install high-profile options that actually look good from the street.
Final inspection covers everything. We check flashing, verify ventilation, and make sure every shingle lies flat. Then we clean up—optional deep cleaning service means you can enjoy your new roof without spending a weekend sweeping construction dust out of your gutters.
