Roof Replacement
Clear scope, clean documentation, and a roof system built to match the property, code requirements, and your priorities.
- System-based scope, not vague promises
- Permit-ready documentation (when required)
- Clean jobsite and debris removal
- Workmanship coverage and clear exclusions
Reroof Types
Different roof systems solve different problems. Below are common reroof options we install or coordinate, with scope varying by structure, code requirements, and existing conditions.
GAF Timberline HDZ Shingles
A widely used architectural shingle option balancing appearance, performance, and cost. Appropriate for many residential slopes where shingles are permitted by code and design.
- Best for: Standard pitched residential roofs, value-focused replacements.
- Considerations: Ventilation, flashing details, and underlayment selection matter more than marketing.
- Common add-ons: leak barrier at eaves/valleys, upgraded ventilation, pipe boot replacements.
Thompson 5V Metal
Traditional 5V-crimp metal panels with exposed fasteners. A durable system when installed correctly, with performance heavily dependent on fastening, sealants, and flashing transitions.
- Best for: Coastal and high-sun exposure properties wanting metal durability at lower cost than standing seam.
- Considerations: Fastener maintenance over time, correct underlayment, and detailing at penetrations.
- Common add-ons: upgraded underlayment, corrosion-resistant fasteners, new pipe boots/flashings.
Metal Sales Standing Seam
A premium metal option with concealed fasteners and clean lines. Designed for long-term performance where detailing, substrate prep, and thermal movement accommodation are done correctly.
- Best for: Higher-end residential and commercial-style aesthetics; long service life priorities.
- Considerations: Proper clip/attachment methods, expansion/contraction detailing, and high-quality flashing work.
- Common add-ons: upgraded underlayment system, custom flashings, improved ventilation strategy.
Concrete / Clay / Specialty Tile (Various)
Tile reroofs can range from straightforward to extremely complex depending on underlayment, fastening, foam adhesives (if used), and code requirements. Many “tile leaks” are underlayment and flashing failures, not the tile itself.
- Best for: Homes designed for tile aesthetics, durability, and heat performance.
- Considerations: Underlayment system selection, flashing transitions, and tile compatibility/availability.
- Common add-ons: upgraded underlayment, flashing modernization, replacement of broken or incompatible tiles.
How a replacement typically works
Replacement is a sequence: evaluate, scope, permit, protect, tear-off, deck assessment, install system, flash and detail, final cleanup, and closeout documentation.
- Property address
- Roof type and approximate age
- Leak history (if any)
- Photos (attic, ceilings, roof edges if possible)
Roof Replacement Overview
- Widespread aging, brittle shingles, frequent leaks, or repeated repair cycles.
- Storm damage where repair is impractical or the system integrity is compromised.
- Code-driven scope triggered by permit requirements (jurisdiction-dependent).
- Deck or ventilation deficiencies that can’t be corrected reliably with isolated repairs.
A roof replacement is a system. The shingle is visible, but performance depends on details: underlayment, flashing, ventilation, deck fastening, and water management.
- Deck preparation and fastening verification
- Underlayment and leak barrier where required
- Valley, wall, chimney, and penetration flashing
- Starter, field shingles, ridge cap
- Ventilation components (intake/exhaust)
- Drip edge / edge metal as applicable
- Roof geometry (valleys, dormers, steepness)
- Existing layers and tear-off complexity
- Deck condition and code requirements
- Accessory replacements (vents, pipe boots, skylights)
- Edge and flashing conditions
- Access constraints and landscaping protection
When a permit is required, the work must comply with applicable codes and the AHJ’s inspection process. We coordinate scheduling and provide closeout documentation when applicable.
- Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and scope.
- Some repairs can be non-permitted; most full replacements are permitted.
- Inspections are scheduled with the AHJ; timing depends on workload and weather.
- Landscaping and hardscape protection where feasible
- Driveway and staging planning
- Magnetic sweep and debris control
- Safe access and jobsite housekeeping
- Debris removal and disposal
- Final magnet sweep (best-effort, not a guarantee)
- Closeout photos (optional)
- Final walkthrough (when feasible)
Depending on the property and goals, you may choose upgrades that improve durability, ventilation, and water management.
- Enhanced underlayment / secondary water barrier (where applicable)
- Ventilation optimization (balanced intake/exhaust)
- High-wind accessory detailing (as applicable)
- Replacement of aging penetrations (pipe boots, vents)
- Skylight replacement during reroof (often cost-effective)
- Drip edge / edge metal refresh
- Gutter/downspout coordination (separate scope)
- Attic insulation and ventilation coordination (separate trade)
Replacement projects typically include a workmanship warranty from the installer and a separate manufacturer warranty for materials, each with their own terms, exclusions, and registration requirements.
- Workmanship warranty: covers defects in installation labor (scope-limited and exclusion-heavy by nature).
- Manufacturer warranty: covers qualifying material defects, subject to product rules and registration.
- Storm events, structural issues, maintenance failures, and third-party work are common exclusions.
Pricing depends on the roof size, geometry, tear-off complexity, deck condition, code requirements, material selections, and access constraints. A credible estimate is based on measurement and scope, not vibes.
- We provide written scopes so you can compare apples to apples.
- Change conditions (deck replacement, hidden damage) are documented before proceeding.
- Permitting and inspection requirements can affect timeline and scope.
