Roof replacement
For the written scope, roof replacement is more than installing a new surface. A complete plan considers removal, deck condition, underlayment, ventilation, flashings, drainage, edge details, waste handling and protection of the property below.
Best next step
Match the scope to the condition
During the review of roof replacement, replacement is usually justified when wear is widespread, multiple details are failing or the cost and uncertainty of repeated repairs no longer protect the owner’s budget.
Condition review
What the inspection needs to establish
Before pricing roof replacement, the roof should be measured and reviewed for slope, layers, access, penetrations, valleys, walls, skylights, chimneys and signs of moisture below the surface.
- Hidden deck deterioration
- Incompatible old and new flashing details
- Ventilation that does not match the attic
- Insufficient drainage capacity
- Unclear allowances for repairs discovered after tear-off within the roof replacement scope

When this service is the stronger fit
