Roof replacement is a significant home improvement project that requires careful planning and execution. Whether your roof is old, damaged, or leaking, replacing it can help improve the overall look and functionality of your home. However, many homeowners are often intimidated by the thought of undergoing a roof replacement process due to its complexity and cost. In this article, we will break down the step-by-step roof replacement process to give you a better understanding of what to expect.
The first step in the roof replacement process is to assess the condition of your current roof. A professional roofing contractor will inspect your roof for any signs of damage or wear and tear. They will also take measurements and determine the size and scope of the project. Based on their assessment, they will provide you with an estimate for the cost of replacing your roof.
Once you have agreed on the terms and signed a contract with the RRG Roofing & Gutters contractor, they will schedule a date for starting work on your new roof. The next step involves preparing your home for the installation process. This may include removing any furniture or decorations from around your house to prevent them from getting damaged during construction.
The actual installation process begins with tearing off the old roofing materials. This may involve removing shingles, flashing, underlayment, and other components of your existing roof. The roofing crew will dispose of these materials properly before moving on to installing new roofing materials.
After stripping away old materials, it’s time to install new underlayment on top of your deck surface. Underlayment serves as a waterproof barrier that helps protect your home from water infiltration. Next comes installing new flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other penetrations in your roof.
