Some roofs are beyond repair. And when this happens, the roof will need a full tear-off to replace the existing roof. When a full roof tear off is involved, it means completely removing the existing roofing materials, including the shingles, flashing, fasteners, ice and water shields; all the way down to the decking.
Once all the materials have been removed from the damaged roof, an inspection of the roof deck is performed. Looking for any damage or deterioration in the decking will ensure that the new roof will have a solid foundation to be built upon.
The disadvantages of this process are that it can take time and be more costly. However, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. First, you get a new roof! A new roof with proper installation ensures high quality and a durable roof, while providing your home long-term protection.
Plus, it provides a peace of mind. When you fully tear off a damaged roof, you are removing all the elements that have been damaged and replacing them with material that is new and giving your home a solid foundation for the new roof.
A full roof tear off is completely removing the existing roofing materials and installing a new roofing system. This process offers many advantages like a new, durable roof with the ability to address any underlying issues with the roof deck. While this may seem like a more expensive route, it ensures that your roof is in proper working condition and will keep your home safe for the years to come.
