The Roof Replacement Process

Removing Existing Shingles

The first step involves carefully removing any existing shingles and disposing of them properly to ensure the roof surface is clear of obstructions.

Checking and Fixing Roof Damages

We inspect the roof for any damage. If necessary, we repair or replace damaged plywood to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof.

Installing New Drip Edge

A new drip edge is installed at the base of the roof to divert water toward the eavestroughs, preventing water accumulation on the roof.

Applying Ice and Water Membrane

Where necessary, an ice and water membrane is installed to prevent potential damage from ice damming scenarios.

Installing Underlayment

An underlayment is applied to the entire roof surface, providing an additional layer of protection against water infiltration.

Replacing Valley Flashings

We replace any outdated valley flashings with new ones and install new flashings around chimneys and walls to ensure comprehensive protection.

Updating Roof Vents

Old roof vents, exhaust vents, and plumbing vent flashings are replaced to ensure proper ventilation and functionality.

Installing Shingles

High-quality shingles, chosen by the customer, are installed to complete the roof replacement. We ensure expert installation for maximum durability.

Final Cleanup

The job site is thoroughly cleaned, with all nails and metal particles collected using magnetic equipment, leaving your property tidy and safe.
