  • What is involved in a roof tear-off process?

    A roof tear-off involves removing all existing roofing materials down to the roof deck—including shingles, underlayment, and any damaged decking. This allows for a thorough inspection of the structure before installing a new roof. The process also includes proper debris disposal and a full site cleanup.

  • How long does a typical roof tear-off take?

    For an average-sized residential roof, the tear-off process usually takes 1 to 2 days. Larger roofs or those with multiple layers may take longer. Weather conditions and roof complexity can also affect the timeline, but experienced crews work efficiently to minimize disruption.

  • Is a roof tear-off always necessary before a new roof installation?

    Not always, but it’s often recommended. A tear-off allows for a full inspection of the roof deck, ensures compliance with building codes, and avoids issues like trapped moisture or excess weight from multiple layers. In some cases, a roof-over may be possible if the existing layer is in good condition.
