THE WORK BEHIND THE FINISH

More than a new layer of shingles.

Your roof works as a system. We plan the tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation together, then help you select a shingle profile and color that fits your home.

01

Start at the decking

Remove the existing roofing and inspect the deck. Discuss any needed repairs before the new system goes on.

02

Protect the vulnerable points

Coordinate leak barriers, underlayment and flashing at eaves, valleys, chimneys and roof penetrations.

03

Finish as a system

Match shingles with the right starter strips, ridge caps and ventilation for the selected installation.

YOUR PROJECT, YOUR PRIORITIES

Choose a direction for your new roof.

Select a starting point. We’ll confirm the right scope with an inspection.

Architectural shingles

Dimension without a drastic style change.

Layered shingles create a dimensional roofline. Compare GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed profiles alongside the home’s brick, siding and trim.

What we look at
Shingle profile, color, roof pitch and the components required for the chosen system.
Bring to the conversation
Bring a front photo of your home and two or three preferred colors.
Designer appearance

Make the roof part of the architecture.

Some designer asphalt shingles take visual cues from slate or shake. Compare actual product samples, dimensions and installation requirements.

What we look at
The exact product, available colors, weight and detailing at hips, valleys and ridges.
Bring to the conversation
Save reference homes with a similar roof shape.
A complete system

Look beyond the visible shingles.

A replacement should explain the layers below and the details around the roof. Compare proposals component by component.

What we look at
Deck repairs, underlayment, leak barriers, flashing, starter, ridge caps and ventilation.
Bring to the conversation
Ask for itemized materials and separate material and workmanship terms.

  1. 01

    Measure & inspect

    Review roof area, pitch, access, existing layers and visible decking or ventilation concerns.

    Compare shingles and samples. Agree the written scope and how any decking repairs will be authorized.

    Tear off & rebuild

    Protect the work area, remove the old roof and install the selected system over a prepared deck.

COMPARE THE SCOPE

What to look for in your estimate

  • Tear-off and disposal, not just new shingles.
  • A decking-repair allowance or agreed unit pricing.
  • Flashing, ventilation, skylight work and warranty registration where applicable.

Which shingle brands can I choose?+

Our projects include GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed shingles. We can compare available profiles, colors and warranty options during your estimate.

What affects the cost of a replacement?+

Roof area, pitch, access, existing layers, decking repairs and the selected products all affect the scope. An inspection is the starting point for a written estimate.

Do you replace skylights at the same time?+

We can evaluate existing skylights and coordinate replacement and flashing with the roofing work. This is a useful time to review older units.
