FAQs
What is a full tear-off roof replacement, and how is it different from a re-roof or overlay?
A full tear-off means every layer of the existing roofing system—shingles, underlayment, flashings, and most accessories—is removed down to the bare decking before a new roof is installed. With a re-roof (overlay), new shingles are simply nailed over the old ones. Full tear-offs let our crew inspect the wood deck for rot or structural problems, install modern waterproofing membranes, and comply with Jacksboro’s current wind-uplift and energy-efficiency codes. Although the upfront cost is higher than an overlay, a tear-off typically lasts longer, qualifies for better manufacturer warranties, and avoids the extra weight and heat retention that can shorten roof life in our hot North Texas climate.
Why is a full tear-off especially recommended for homes in Jacksboro’s climate?
Jacksboro experiences large temperature swings, intense UV exposure, and occasional severe storms with hail and high winds. These conditions accelerate shingle wear, hidden deck damage, and flashing failures. By stripping the roof to the deck, we can replace any warped or water-stained sheathing, upgrade to ice-and-water shield in vulnerable valleys, and install superior ventilation that keeps attic temps down during 100°F summers. This proactive approach extends shingle life, improves energy efficiency, and gives homeowners peace of mind when spring hailstorms roll through Jack County.
How long does a full tear-off roof replacement usually take in Jacksboro?
Most single-family homes between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet are completed in one to three working days, weather permitting. Day 1 is for set-up, tear-off, deck inspection, and any wood repairs. Day 2 focuses on underlayment, flashings, starter strips, and shingle installation. Larger or more complex roofs, multiple layers of old shingles, or unexpected deck repairs can add an extra day. We schedule work around Jacksboro’s forecast to minimize weather delays and always perform a final magnetic nail sweep and debris haul-off before closing the job.
What factors affect the cost of a full tear-off roof in Jacksboro?
Pricing is based on: 1) Roof size and pitch—steep or multi-plane roofs require extra safety gear and labor; 2) Material choice—architectural shingles, metal accents, or designer shingles cost more than basic 3-tabs; 3) Number of existing layers—each additional layer adds disposal fees and labor; 4) Deck repairs—replacing rotten sheathing runs $70–$100 per sheet; 5) Access and height—tight lots or two-story homes may need a boom lift; 6) Ventilation upgrades—ridge vents or solar attic fans raise the initial price but save on cooling bills; and 7) Permit and dump fees set by the City of Jacksboro or Jack County. We provide written estimates that outline each line item so you know exactly where your money goes.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a full tear-off roof in Jacksboro?
Yes. The City of Jacksboro requires a residential building permit for any roof replacement that involves removing existing materials. We handle the permit application and schedule required inspections. If you live in a subdivision with a homeowners association, you must also obtain written HOA approval for color and material choices. We can supply product samples and all documentation your ARC committee might request. Completing these steps up front prevents fines, delays, and forced changes after installation.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for a full tear-off if my roof was damaged by hail or wind?
If an adjuster confirms storm damage, most policies cover the full cost of a tear-off and replacement, minus your deductible and any depreciation for non-storm-related wear. We provide free storm inspections, detailed photo reports, and meet with the adjuster on site to ensure all damage is recorded—shingles, decking, gutters, vents, and even interior leaks. Once the claim is approved, we work off the insurer’s scope of loss, upgrade code items required by Jacksboro’s ordinance, and bill your carrier directly to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.
