What Actually Happens During a Re-Roof?

Have you ever wondered what you are paying for when a roofer quotes a replacement? Most homeowners have never watched one happen, so let us walk through it simply. Step one: the old shingles and felt are stripped off down to the plywood sheathing. Why go that far? Because soft or rotten wood hides under old shingles, and new shingles nailed into bad wood will not hold. We check each sheet and replace the damaged ones at a per-sheet price you saw on the estimate. Next comes a synthetic underlayment over the whole deck, with a sticky waterproof membrane in the valleys and around plumbing vents, where leaks most often begin. New metal goes on at the edges and along walls. Attic vents are adjusted so summer heat and winter damp have a way out. Then the shingles are installed, nailed in the zone the manufacturer specifies. And what protects all of that once we leave? On every finished roof, a standard warranty is included. Should you want more, optional upgrades exist on the shingle side and the workmanship side, and we will explain each one in plain English so you can decide calmly.
