Who uses it

Typical Roof Replacement projects

Complete Replacement

Replacing an entire roof when damage or age compromises protection ensures your home or business stays safe and dry for many years. This process also helps maintain property value and prevents costly interior damage from leaks or exposure.

Storm Damage Repair

After severe weather, roof replacement can restore damaged sections and improve resistance against future storms. It also addresses hidden damage that can worsen over time, ensuring your roof meets current building codes and safety standards.

Material Upgrade

Upgrading from three-tab shingles to architectural shingles or metal roofing enhances durability and wind resistance. These materials offer longer service life and improved appearance, making them suitable for homes in areas with stronger weather exposure.

Low-Slope Solutions

Flat-roof membranes like TPO or EPDM provide reliable, long-lasting coverage for low-slope and commercial roofs. Their heat-reflective properties and seamless installation reduce maintenance needs and extend roof life when properly maintained.

FAQ

Roof Replacement questions

How long does a roof replacement last with architectural shingles?

Architectural shingles typically last about 24 to 30 years. Their laminated double-layer design offers more durability and wind resistance compared to three-tab shingles. They also provide a thicker, shadow-line appearance that many homeowners prefer for curb appeal.

Will my roof replacement require a building permit?

Most full roof replacements require a building permit and inspection handled by the contractor. Small repairs often do not need permits, but local rules vary by city or county. Permit requirements ensure roofing work meets safety and quality standards.

Can insurance cover roof replacement after storm damage?

Homeowner policies may cover a roof replacement if damage results from covered perils like storms. The claim path includes documenting damage, preventing further loss, insurer notification, professional inspection, and meeting the adjuster to verify the claim.

What factors affect the cost of a roof replacement?

Costs vary by roof size, pitch, material choice, tear-off versus overlay, decking repairs, access complexity, permits, and insurance claim involvement. Each factor influences labor and materials, affecting the overall replacement expense.

Does a 20 year old roof need to be replaced?

A 20-year-old roof may need replacement depending on the material and condition. Three-tab asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 18 years, so replacement is likely. Architectural shingles last 24 to 30 years, so they might still be serviceable. Metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, and tile roofs 30 to 50 years or more. A professional inspection can assess wear, damage, and any decking repairs needed to determine if replacement is necessary.

What is the most common roof repair?

The most common roof repair involves fixing damaged or missing asphalt shingles, especially three-tab or architectural types. These repairs address issues like granule loss, curling, or lifted shingles caused by weather or age. Repairing shingles is often quicker and less costly than full replacements, but the exact cost depends on factors like roof size, pitch, material, tear-off needs, decking condition, access, permits, and insurance involvement. An accurate estimate requires a professional inspection.
