No homeowner wants to hear they need a complete roof replacement. Unfortunately, sooner or later, every roof reaches a point where it can no longer perform. When the day comes, it’s important to know what to expect.
Our team at Stevens Roofing Corp is dedicated to giving you options and providing all the information you need to understand your roof replacement down to the smallest detail. Here’s what’s included in a complete roof replacement, and how you can expect the replacement process to unfold.
A complete roof replacement is just what it sounds like: complete. Unlike re-roofing, which involves laying down a new layer of shingles on top of your old roofing material, a complete roof replacement involves tearing off every layer of your roof and replacing it. This is why some companies call it a “tear-off” roof. These are the layers of your roof which get replaced:
Having your roof replaced starts with contacting a qualified roofing company for a roof inspection. If your roofers recommend a complete roof replacement based on the inspection, you will be offered an estimate for the project, and a contract you’ll need to sign before the job moves forward.
Be sure to ask any and all questions you may have before signing, and feel free to request a detailed breakdown of the project in written form. Once you have signed the contract, here’s how your roof replacement will get underway:
Above all, one of the most important parts of having a roof replacement is working with the right roofers. Choose a roofing contractor with years of local experience in your area. Look for professionals who are willing to give you a written estimate and answer all questions you may have about your project.
Great roofers will be upfront about all the costs, warranties, and what goes into replacing your roof.
