Tear-off to bare boards
No laying over. The old covering, underlayment and flashing all come off and every sheet of decking is walked.
Big roofs, long slopes and a lot of tree cover ยท (609) 474-9238
On a roof this size the price is decided by measurement and the value is decided by what is registered afterwards.
Ask what a replacement costs โ (609) 474-9238The two steps that bracket a replacement are the two most often skipped. At the start, a roof measured from the ground or from an aerial image on a multi-plane house is reliably short. At the end, a finished roof that never goes through the manufacturer's inspection never gets the warranty it was sold with.
No laying over. The old covering, underlayment and flashing all come off and every sheet of decking is walked.
Soft or delaminated boards replaced at the per-sheet rate quoted beforehand and photographed before anything covers them.
Ice-and-water, underlayment, drip edge, starter, field shingle at the stated exposure and nail count, then hip and ridge โ which is what the system warranty is conditional on.
Intake cleared and exhaust sized while the roof is open, because blocked ventilation is one of the things that puts a covering outside its own warranty.
A replacement here is finished with a 25 to 30 year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer, and with the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty covering the components as a system rather than the shingle alone. Both are registered against the property once the manufacturer has inspected the finished roof, and both documents are handed over. The terms, duration and transferability of each are set by the manufacturer and printed in those documents.
A long look at a long roof, plane by plane and then from underneath, with everything found photographed and written out.
