So, let us understand how you can replace your roof by following these tips.

Protection of your house:

If you want to replace your roof, you should first protect your house so that it won’t get damaged during the roof installation process. You can take care of the sides, walls, bushes, and plants so that they will not get damaged during the roof installation. You can also use plywood and tarps for protecting your property. You can take the help of our expert service to get your job done.

Removal of the damaged roof material from your roof

The next step would be to remove the old roofing material from your roof. You need to remove everything under the roof until you can see the wood under the roof shingles. For this process, you can take the help of our skilled professionals who will finish the task without damaging your property or plants.

Roof Inspection

After removing the shingles, the next step would be to inspect your roof wood decking. You can remove the softwood, wet decking, and rotted deck parts to build a sturdy and stable base under your roof. Remember, you have to build a strong structure so that it firmly holds your roof shingles. If you want to get it done properly, you can take the help of our skilled experts.

Prepare your roof for installation:

Before installation, you need to follow a few important steps such as drip edge, water shield, and roofing felt. After inspecting roof wood decking, our roofers will help install the drip edge at all the edges of the roof. This is done by installing a piece of metal by bending it to a right angle. This will help prevent the rainwater to enter inside the roof material. The next step would be to install a water barrier that will protect the wood decking and will not let the water leak inside the house. The rest of the roof needs to be covered with heavy-duty roofing felt, which will not let the roof shingles stick to the wood.

Installation of new roofing material

After completing all the necessary steps, our roofers will install the new roofing material from the bottom to the top of the roof. This process involves a few other steps such as counter flashing, installation of the ridge capping, ridge events, and site cleanup.
