When to Replace Your Roof
Your roof sends clear signals when it needs replacement. Check your attic first - if you see daylight coming through the boards, water stains, or dark spots, it's time to call us. Watch for shingles that curl, crack, or lose granules. Asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years, so age is a key factor.
Missing or damaged shingles create vulnerable spots where water can seep in. If you notice sagging areas or your neighbors are replacing their roofs, your home might need attention too.
Types of Roofing Shingles
Three-tab shingles give homes a clean, uniform look at an affordable price point. These traditional single-layer shingles work well in most weather conditions.
Architectural shingles offer extra durability with their multi-layer design. Their dimensional texture adds visual appeal and can boost home value.
Cedar shingles bring natural beauty and can last up to 30 years with proper care. They resist insects naturally but need regular maintenance.
Composite shingles blend durability with style. They mimic slate or wood while offering superior protection.
The Shingle Roof Replacement Process
A proper roof replacement involves careful planning and expert execution to protect your home. Our proven process ensures quality work and long-lasting results.
1. Initial Roofing Inspection
We start with a thorough examination of your current roof condition. Our certified inspectors check for damaged shingles, leaks, and structural issues. We examine the decking, flashing, and ventilation system to identify any hidden problems.
We take detailed measurements and photos to document all areas needing attention. This helps us create an accurate project scope. We also check your attic space to assess ventilation and look for signs of water damage or mold.
2. Roofing Estimate Details
Our detailed estimates include all materials and labor costs with no hidden fees. We specify the exact shingle type, color, and manufacturer warranty information. The estimate covers underlayment, ice and water shield, and ventilation components.
We break down costs for potential decking repairs and disposal fees. Our team explains financing options and available manufacturer warranties. You'll know exactly what to expect before work begins.
3. Roof Tear-off and Installation Steps
We remove all old roofing materials down to the decking. Our crew inspects and repairs any damaged wood decking. We install new underlayment and ice and water shield in valleys and along eaves.
New starter strips and shingles are installed using manufacturer-specified nailing patterns. We integrate proper ventilation with ridge vents and intake vents. All flashing is replaced or properly sealed around chimneys and vents.
4. Post-Installation Inspection and Clean-up
Our quality control team performs a final inspection of all work. We check every detail including proper nail placement, flashing installation, and ventilation setup. Shingle alignment and valley construction get special attention.
We use magnetic tools to remove all nails from your property. Our crews haul away all debris and old materials. We won't consider the job complete until you're fully satisfied with both the roof and cleanup work.
5. Ventilation and Insulation Solutions
We install ridge vents along the peak of your roof to release hot air, while soffit vents near the eaves draw in cool air.
Gable vents provide additional cross-ventilation in your attic space, creating optimal airflow patterns. This ventilation system helps prevent ice dams in winter and excessive heat buildup in summer.
Our attic insulation services use premium materials to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. We carefully assess your existing insulation and add the right amount to achieve recommended R-values for your climate zone.
6. Flashing and Waterproofing
Proper flashing installation creates watertight seals at roof transitions and penetrations. We use heavy-gauge metal flashing around chimneys, vent pipes, and valleys where water flow is concentrated.
Drip edge flashing protects your fascia boards and directs water into your gutters. Step flashing integrates with your siding to prevent leaks along walls.
Our waterproofing system includes premium synthetic underlayment and moisture barriers. We install ice and water shield in vulnerable areas like eaves and valleys.
7. Roof Decking and Underlayment
Strong roof decking provides the foundation for your entire roofing system. We inspect existing decking for damage and replace any compromised sections with new plywood or OSB boards.
A weather-resistant barrier covers your decking to create an additional water barrier. We use synthetic underlayment that's more durable than traditional felt paper.
The underlayment gets secured with proper overlap patterns and cap nails to prevent tearing. This creates a complete moisture barrier beneath your shingles.

Maintenance and Upkeep
A well-maintained roof keeps your home safe and extends its lifespan. Regular care helps prevent costly repairs and protects your investment.
Routine Roof Maintenance
We inspect every part of your roof during our maintenance visits. Our team checks shingles for signs of wear, examines flashing around chimneys, and makes sure gutters are clear and working right.
We remove moss, leaves, and debris that can trap moisture and damage your shingles. Your gutters need to stay clean to work properly, so we clean those too.
Signs of trouble can be hard to spot from the ground. We look for loose or missing shingles, damaged seals, and worn spots that might let water in.
Dealing with Roof Leaks and Damage
Water stains on ceilings often mean roof leaks. We find the source fast and fix it before more damage happens.
Our emergency repair team comes out quickly when you need us. Storm damage needs fast action to prevent water from getting inside your home.
We fix both small leaks and major damage. Common repairs include replacing damaged shingles, fixing flashing, and sealing around vents.
Seasonal Considerations
We check for ice dams and make sure your roof can handle heavy snow loads.
Spring brings rain and storms. We get your roof ready by checking seals and making sure drainage works right.
Summer heat can crack shingles. Our team looks for heat damage and makes sure your attic has good airflow.
Fall means clearing leaves from gutters. We remove branches and check for damage from summer storms before winter comes.
