FAQs
What is a full tear-off roof replacement?
A full tear-off involves stripping every layer of old roofing materials—shingles, underlayment, flashings, and nails—down to the bare decking. We then inspect the wood sheathing for rot or structural damage, make any necessary repairs, and install brand-new underlayment, flashing, ventilation components, and shingles. The result is a roof system that performs like new and is eligible for full manufacturer warranties.
Why choose a full tear-off instead of a roof overlay?
An overlay leaves existing shingles in place and adds a second layer on top. While cheaper up-front, overlays add weight, conceal hidden damage, shorten material life, and usually void manufacturer warranties. A full tear-off allows us to correct decking issues, upgrade ventilation, install ice-and-water shielding, and give you a roof that lasts its full design life—typically 25–50 years depending on the shingle.
How long does a full tear-off roof replacement take in Graysville?
Most residential projects are completed in 1–3 working days. Day 1 is dedicated to removing the old roof and inspecting decking. Day 2 focuses on repairs, underlayment, and starter courses. Day 3 is usually for shingle installation, flashing, and final cleanup. Larger roofs or unexpected decking repairs can add an extra day or two, but we keep you updated at every stage.
What roofing materials do you install after the tear-off?
We offer architectural asphalt shingles, premium designer shingles, metal panels, and specialty products like synthetic slate. Every system includes synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water barrier in valleys and eaves, new drip edge, step and counter flashing, ridge ventilation, and matching ridge caps. All materials meet or exceed Alabama’s building codes and come with manufacturer warranties of 30 years to lifetime, depending on the product chosen.
Will a full tear-off roof replacement increase my home’s value and help with insurance?
Yes. A new roof is one of the top line-items appraisers use when valuing a home, and most real estate studies show a 60–70 % return on investment at resale. Insurance carriers also favor new roofs because they reduce the risk of water claims. Some insurers offer premium discounts for homes with roofs less than 5 years old, especially when you use impact-rated shingles. We provide a completion certificate you can forward to your agent.
How much does a full tear-off roof cost in Graysville, and what factors affect price?
Costs typically range from $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot for architectural asphalt shingles. Price varies based on roof size and pitch, number of layers to remove, decking repairs, shingle style, and upgrades like metal valleys or gutter replacement. We provide a free, written estimate that details labor, materials, permits, disposal, and tax so you know the exact investment before work begins.
