Low-Slope and Flat Roof Replacement
Installing a flat roof requires different know-how than installing a pitched shingle or metal roof. The roofing system that insulates and waterproofs the building is structured differently on low-slope roofs. On a flat roof, there is a layer of insulating foam board between the roof deck and the waterproofing membrane on top. Flat roofs are made from built-up roofing (BUR), TPO, PVC, EPDM, and sometimes metal. Our roofing contractors are experienced with all of these types of roofs. We use only the highest-quality and most-reliable flat roofing materials.
Shingle Roof Replacement
If your shingle roof needs replacing, it is important to select a high-quality asphalt shingle that will hold up well to severe weather, UV rays, and resist moss growth. Some homeowners will also want to follow their HOA guidelines on color to match surrounding houses, or may want to select a roof that elevates the curb appeal of their house. Asphalt shingles come in a wide range of colors and appearances. When we replace your shingle roof, we will scrape off all the existing shingles, make sure the roof deck is in good condition, and install a new weatherproof barrier for your home that will last for a long time.
The Roof Replacement Process
To replace a roof, first the old roofing material must be taken off (unless you are adding a new layer to your existing flat roof, which is sometimes an option). Once the shingles, metal panels, or membrane is removed, then the roof deck and insulation can be inspected. We will replace anything that needs to be replaced and ensure your roof is sturdy. Then we will install new insulation, ice and water barrier, vapor barrier, underlayment, and finally your new roofing material.
If you have vents, skylights, and other protrusions, we will be sure to include flashing and sealing that gives a leak-proof seal. We will also provide recommendations for attic ventilation improvements that could help your roof last longer and save you money on cooling bills. If your roof needs a new drip edge or fascia, we will also let you know about that and include it in your quote.
