While you should plan to get 15-20 years out of your roof, there is a chance you could run into problems sooner. Your roof is left to battle the elements and can sustain damage in the process. Extreme weather is a factor, but the biggest factor that leads to problems with your roof is time. At All Pro Exterior Remodeling, we offer roof replacement for roofs that have sustained damage beyond repair or have reached the end of their useful lifespan. Our expert team of roofers have the training and expertise to do the job right so you can count on getting the most out of your new roof.
Commercial & Residential Roof Replacement
The roof is one of the biggest investments you will ever make in your home. And when done right, it also yields the biggest return on investment. Whether you need your residential roof replaced or it is a commercial property, we can work to replace your roof. We specialize in roofing replacement services of both asphalt shingle and flat roofs.
Process Replacing a Flat Roof
As with all our roof replacements, a flat roof replacement begins with a thorough roof inspection with recommendations for the best roofing applications to provide superior protection for your residential or commercial building. Our roofing contractors will then work hard to make sure your new flat roof is installed quickly and correctly.
Reroofing (Overlay of Second Layer of Shingles Over Existing)
Re-roofing is the quickest and least expensive way to restore your roof’s appearance and integrity. During re-roofing, a second shingle overlay is installed over your worn shingles to restore the appearance of your roof as well as provide a protective layer to help prevent leaks from penetrating into the inside of your home. It should be noted that re-roofing is only permitted on roofs that have one, single layer of shingles. Roofs that already have two layers require a full roof tear off and replacement.
Tear Off & Replace Roof Shingles
During a full roof replacement, the old shingles are stripped from the roof, exposing the deck. An underlayment or felt paper is then applied to the deck to help protect it from water and other elements. New shingles are then installed on top. It should be noted that a full replacement has the added advantage of addressing any damage to the deck whereas during re-roofing, this damage can go unchecked.
Warning Signs You Need a New Roof
Just like with anything else, there are signs that you need a new roof. Following are some of the indications that your roof is in need of replacement:
