The Steps for Replacing a Roof
No matter what type of roof is installed, every home will eventually need to have its roof replaced. Whether the roof is composed of shingles, tiles, slate, or metal, the general process of roof replacement is the same.
The steps of roof replacement include:
- Protecting the property
- Removing the old roofing materials
- Inspecting the base of the roof
- Repairing any wood decking
- Installing the drip edge
- Applying the roofing underlayment
- Laying out the new roofing materials
- Cleaning up the work site
- Performing a roof inspection to ensure proper installation
David and his crew were awesome. They were very professional and very detail oriented. I've never had a contractor do work that went so smoothly. David did a great job of insuring the project was completed to his extremely high standards.

Roof Replacement Vs. Reroofing
When an older roof needs more than a few minor repairs, a full roof replacement is often in order. This process involves removing all the existing roofing materials before installing new ones. Reroofing, on the other hand, is a roofing solution that entails adding a new layer of roofing materials to the current materials. Because there is no labor involved in tearing off the old materials, reroofing is quicker and less expensive than full roof replacement.
When an existing roof has minor damage with just a few leaks but is in overall good condition, it is a good candidate for reroofing. If the current roofing system already has two layers of roofing materials, it cannot be reroofed again — it must be completely replaced. Total roof replacement is also the best option for roofs that are sagging, show signs of major water damage, or have large amounts of mold or mildew.
