Roof replacement

Roof Replacement for Older Roofs

Older roofs deserve a condition-based evaluation rather than an age-only decision.

Age is only one factor

Material type, installation quality, climate, ventilation, maintenance, and previous damage can all affect how a roof ages.

Look for system-wide issues

Widespread deterioration, recurring leaks, brittle or missing materials, failing flashing, and deck concerns can make replacement more appropriate than repeated localized work.

Plan the replacement scope

A written proposal should address tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, roofing material, cleanup, permits, and warranties.
