Roof Replacement

When It Is Time for a New Roof

Replacement makes sense when the problem is the roof itself, not one spot on it.

• The same failure shows up on more than one slope
• Granule loss across a whole face, not a patch
• The roof is past the halfway point of its life
• You have already paid to fix it once

What a Roof Replacement Costs

Price comes down to how many squares you have, the pitch, how many layers have to come off, and what the decking looks like underneath. Steeper roofs and multiple tear-off layers cost more because they take longer. We measure the roof rather than quoting from the driveway, and the estimate is broken into line items so you can see what each part costs instead of one number at the bottom.

How We Do It

Every replacement follows the same sequence, and we do not skip the parts nobody sees.

• Strip the old roof down to the bare decking
• Inspect for rot and soft spots, replace bad wood
• New underlayment across the whole deck
• New drip edge, starter strip, and valley metal
• New pipe boots and flashing, never reused
• Correct the ventilation while the roof is open

What Is Under the Shingles Matters

The decking is the wood your shingles nail into. New shingles over soft decking will fail, because there is nothing solid holding the nails. We cannot know how much needs replacing until the old roof is off, so we give you the per-sheet price up front instead of surprising you mid-job.

How Long It Takes

Most residential roofs in Leander and Cedar Park are a one or two day job. Bigger or steeper roofs run longer, and weather moves things around during storm season. We deliver materials the day before or the morning of, tear off and dry in the same day so your house is never left open overnight, and finish the following day when the job needs it.

Materials and Warranty

We work with Owens Corning, GAF, and other established manufacturers, and we will walk you through architectural versus three tab and whether Class 4 impact resistant shingles make sense for your insurance situation. Every replacement carries the manufacturer shingle warranty plus our own 5-year labor warranty. If something goes wrong with our install, we come back and fix it.

Permits and Cleanup

We pull the permit where the city requires one, and the rules differ by city.

• Georgetown, Cedar Park, and Round Rock each handle roofing permits differently
• Local code generally will not allow a new roof over two existing layers
• Magnet sweep of the yard and driveway for nails before we leave

Insurance Claims

If the replacement is storm or hail related, document the damage before anyone touches the roof, because patching first can cost you the claim. We photograph and measure everything, then Haydn works directly with your adjuster. He has done this hundreds of times and knows what carriers look for, so you are not the one sitting on hold explaining shingle bruising.
