Roof Replacement Services
Roof replacement should not be taken lightly. It is one of your largest investments in your home. Also you should not delay in replacing your roof if it is needed. The old roof can fail, which can lead to water damage underneath the shingles and eventually to a roof that collapses. Apart from the potential danger to you and your family or staff, water can cause damage to your entire property. It can reach all levels of your property from the attic through to the basement.
What Are The Steps In Roof Replacement?
First the roofer will remove all the shingles from your roof in order to expose the deck beneath. They will first check to see if the deck is in good condition before they proceed. They will need to repair the deck if it is damaged and then to protect the deck against water and other elements, an underlayment or felt paper will be applied to it. The new shingles will be installed on top of the felt paper or underlayment to give you a roof that will last 20 years or longer.
Should You Replace Your Roof by Yourself?
Registered roofers not only have the ability to obtain the appropriate roofing permits if required, but also know the requirements of various building codes and underlay requirements. This allows them to ensure that your new roof installation is installed to the highest standards. Many roofing contractors also provide a warranty of up to 10 years. This covers you in the unlikely event that your roof begins to leak or fails completely.

That is why you should get a professional opinion of your roof by a qualified roof inspector. If your roof has been in good condition for less than five years and has not been subject to major weather events since its last inspection, you should be fine with a simple visual inspection and an attic check. If your roof is older or has been subject to bad storms then a certified roofing inspector should complete a comprehensive roof inspection report.
The roof inspector will inspect your roof for signs of damage, unusual wear and tear, windblown debris, moss or grass or lichen growth issues and any other problems that may have occurred during the original shingle installation.
After examining your roof, the inspector will give you a detailed report on the condition of the roof and, if necessary, the repairs that are required to protect your home or property.

How long does it take to reroof a house?
On average a team of roofing contractors can reroof a house in 3 to 4 days. But there are a number of factors that can cause this timeframe to change. The number of days it takes to completely reroof a property depends on: * The pitch of your roof * The size of your roof * The weather * The type of roofing material used You will be given an expected completion date by your roofing contractor when you book your reroof. They will then review your reroofing timeline with you before they start the job.
How does weather affect the roofing process?
The weather can have an effect on the prices for roofing jobs and it can increase the time it will take if any inclement weather occurs. Some roofing materials should only be installed in certain temperatures. Due to adhesion issues shingles should not be installed when the temperature is below 40 degrees. Shingles can also soften during the heat of the summer.
What type of roof will last the longest?
Concrete, clay or slate tiles will last the longest. They outperform wood shakes or any of the manufactured roofing materials such as metal roofing and asphalt shingles. Although wood shakes, metal roofing and asphalt shingles do have a good lifespan, they are not as durable as the concrete, clay or slate tiles.
