What to Expect During a Roof Replacement

While each roofing job is going to be a little different, we can help you get an idea of what to expect before getting started. Once you’re officially working with our team, we’ll provide you with a complete picture of what to expect for your unique home!

The Roof Replacement Process

The standard roof replacement process will be pretty typical for all homes. Before any work begins, there will be some decisions and inspections to complete, such as assessing for any damage and choosing the material for your new roof. If you want some help deciding on a material, your roofer will be able to speak into what material is best for your location and home. Once these decisions are made, there are only three roof installation steps: 

1. Remove the Old Material: We first have to strip your roof of all the old material. In some cases, we may be able to recycle it into your new roof, saving you some money on materials. Your roofing team will also be able to get a better idea of any damage or complications once the old material is gone. 
2. Underlay the Roof: Underlayment acts as an additional barrier against the elements for your home. It’s especially important for Florida homeowners to have a high-quality underlayment to help the rain drain properly. Your roofer can help you decide which underlayment material is best for your home.
3. Install the New Roof: It’s time to get your new roof in place! Whether you decide on shingles or a metal roof, your team will get to work to properly lay each material down. This step can be a bit noisy due to drills and hammering, but once it’s over, you’ll be left with a brand new, stunning roof!
