Our approach
How we approach roof replacement
The shingles are the part you see, but a roof replacement is really about what goes under them. On the jobs in our photo gallery you can see the layers: bare decking checked after tear-off, synthetic underlayment like GAF TigerPaw or FeltBuster rolled out, then Timberline HDZ shingles and Seal-A-Ridge caps. Each layer has a job, and skipping one is where problems start.
Hidden decking damage is the one thing nobody can see until the old roof comes off. If we find soft wood, we photograph it and explain the cost before replacing it, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
