FAQs
What exactly is a full tear-off roofing project?
A full tear-off means we remove every layer of existing roofing down to the bare decking, inspect the wood for damage, make any needed repairs, and then install an all-new roofing system—underlayment, ice & water shield, flashing, vents, and shingles. Unlike an overlay, a tear-off lets us start fresh, correct hidden problems, and ensures your new roof lasts as long as it’s designed to.
Why is a full tear-off the recommended option in Birchwood?
Birchwood’s freeze-thaw cycles, high winds off the lake, and seasonal storms put extra stress on roofing. A full tear-off allows us to install modern moisture barriers and ventilation that meet current building codes and stand up to local weather. It also keeps you within insurance and manufacturer guidelines, which usually require a tear-off for extended warranties.
How long will my full tear-off take and what should I expect during the process?
Most single-family homes in Birchwood are completed in one to three days, depending on size, pitch, and weather. Day 1 is typically demolition and decking inspection. Day 2 we install underlayment, flashing, and start shingle application. Day 3 is for finishing details and final cleanup if needed. We provide daily status updates, and a project manager is on-site to answer questions.
What roofing materials do you use and what warranties are included?
We install premium architectural asphalt shingles from CertainTeed and GAF rated for 130-mph wind resistance, along with synthetic underlayment, ice & water shield, and lifetime vent accessories. Manufacturer material warranties range from 25 years to Lifetime (non-prorated for the first 10 years), and our workmanship is covered by a 10-year transferrable labor warranty specific to Birchwood homeowners.
How much does a full tear-off roof cost in Birchwood and are financing options available?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, and chosen shingle line, but most local projects run $4.25–$6.50 per square foot all-inclusive. We provide a written, line-item estimate after a free attic and exterior inspection. We partner with regional lenders for low-interest financing up to 144 months and work directly with insurance adjusters when storm damage is involved to minimize your out-of-pocket expense.
How do you protect my property and handle cleanup?
Before demolition, we lay protective tarps over landscaping, set up plywood shields along siding, and roll magnetic sweepers around the perimeter. Dump trailers are parked on plywood in the driveway to prevent ruts. When the job is finished, we perform a 3-point cleanup—ground sweep, gutter check, and attic inspection—to ensure no nails or debris are left behind. Your property will be as clean—or cleaner—than when we arrived.
