Residential Roof Replacement

Does My Roof Need a Repair or a Replacement?

We solve similar problems with roof repairs and replacements like curling shingle edges, loss of roofing granules, brittle or cracked shingles, missing shingles, or roof leaks.



However, if, during an inspection, we discover that the problem cannot be fixed through minor repairs and extends over more than half of the existing roof, or we find that the roof replacement cost is less than that of a roof repair, we may suggest a full roof replacement.

Everything You Need To Know About Roof Replacement

The following categories are all things that you, as a homeowner, will need to consider when it’s time for a roof replacement.

Re-Roofing vs. Tear-off Roof Replacement

During re-roofing, a new layer of shingles is placed over your worn shingles, making your shingle roof look like new and adding protective elements to help prevent leaks. Because it’s not as extensive as a full replacement, a re-roof is the quickest and least costly way to restore your roof’s appearance. However, if you already have two layers of shingles, you will not be a candidate for this method.

With a full replacement, we tear off the old shingles, exposing the roof’s decking. If we find any problems with the deck, we will go ahead and repair them to prevent future roof damage. Next, an underlayment or felt paper is applied to the deck to help protect it from water and other elements. The new shingles are then installed on top of the underlayment or felt paper for a new roof that lasts for 20 years or more.

Roofing Materials

There are a variety of different roofing materials to choose from, each affecting total roof replacement costs. While most homeowners choose asphalt shingles, you have other options for roofing material, including:

• Asphalt Roof
• Metal Roof
• Tile Roofing
• Wood Shakes & Shingles

Size of Roofing Installation

Another thing to consider is the square footage of your roof, as this will affect roofing costs.

The larger your roof’s size footage, the more it will cost to replace your roof since it will require more materials and extra time, resulting in increased costs.

This being said, you must consider the size of your house and the pitch (or steepness) of your roof, as these both affect the size of your roof.

You must also consider the height and accessibility of your roof, as these can also affect the roof replacement cost, as it takes more time to get the materials to the roof, and roofers must take precautions to ensure they complete the job safely.

Seamless gutters are usually made from more durable materials like aluminum and copper and are more customizable so that you can match them to your home’s style. This means your seamless gutters will also last longer, be less prone to damage, and be low maintenance.

We are so pleased with the prompt service & installation of our new roof. The communication throughout the process of choosing new colors/materials, getting things ordered & delivered & even after installation was superb. Justin even checked in a week later to make sure we were satisfied & things were in order! Would highly recommend.

Collier’s crew showed up on time, extremely friendly, did an outstanding job replacing shingles and repairing my roof. I was also impressed with the time they took to ensure my yard was free of trash and roofing nails.
