Our Roof Replacement Process
Tear Off
-
Removing the
old roof is beneficial in more ways than one.
-
Getting the
extra weight removed helps prevent sagging rafters and decking.
-
Reselling the
home is tougher to do with an overlay.
-
More and more
insurance companies will not insure composition shingles overlaying
wood shingles.
-
And it will
look and lay much better over a smooth deck.
Decking
Installation
-
Two of the
most common types of sheathing are used.
-
7/16" APA OSB
is one method.
-
½" APA CD
plywood is another.
-
Each has their
advantages.
-
Spacing the
sheathing is important due to the expansion of these products.
-
No spacing
between each sheet can lead to buckled decking
Felt
-
Under-layment
is asphalt-impregnated paper that is used as a moisture barrier
between the roof deck and shingle.
-
The felt comes
in two different weights. 15 and 30 lb.
-
Either is an
acceptable method of providing a dry moisture free deck.
Shingle
Installation
-
There are many
different types.
-
20 yr. 3 tab,
25, 30, & 40 yr. laminate composition shingles are just a few of the
most popular methods of roofing replacement.
-
Among others
are fiber cement, slate, and wood shingle to name just a few.
-
There are
several different brands;
Elk,
GAF,
Tamko, and
Owens Corning are some of
the more popular products.
-
We would be
happy to install whichever brand you choose.
