What Roof Replacement Includes

A full replacement is a system, not just shingles. Scope starts with a roof inspection, then a written roof estimate that lists materials and line items.

• Tear-off of existing roofing, felt, and fasteners down to roof deck.
• Deck inspection; replace rotted plywood or OSB sheathing.
• Ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys; synthetic underlayment over the field.
• New drip edge, step flashing, chimney flashing, and pipe boots.
• Ridge vent or box vent for ventilation; new ridge cap.
• Dumpster staging, magnetic nail sweep, and debris haul-away.

Quality & Materials Standards

Material choice should match the roof's pitch and the homeowner's budget. Architectural shingle outlasts three-tab shingle and handles wind better.

Metal panel and standing-seam panel cost more but resist hail. Some Hanover Park homes use tile or clay tile accents on porches and dormers.

Underlayment and flashing matter as much as the visible shingle. Synthetic underlayment beats old tar paper. Ice-and-water shield protects eaves where ice dam forms.

Proper step flashing and counter-flashing at walls and chimneys stop leaks that granule loss alone won't reveal.

Storm claims follow a process: file the insurance claim, meet the adjuster, document damage, then reconcile scope of work. Know your deductible and depreciation.

A supplement may be needed if hidden decking damage appears. Keep proof of loss and photos.
