FAQs
What is “advanced tear-off equipment” and how does it improve my roof replacement?
Advanced tear-off equipment refers to purpose-built, high-torque roof removal machines and pneumatic shingle scrapers that lift old shingles, nails, and underlayment in wide, controlled passes. Compared with traditional pry-bar methods, the machinery works 3–4 times faster, keeps crews off their knees, and extracts more debris on the first pass. For you, that means a shorter project timeline, a cleaner deck surface that’s ready for new underlayment, and a lower risk of hidden moisture pockets being left behind.
Why is a full tear-off recommended instead of simply overlaying new shingles?
Jonesborough’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters put stress on roof systems. A complete tear-off lets us inspect the wood decking for rot, warped boards, and inadequate ventilation that an overlay would hide. Removing the old roof also keeps weight within building-code limits, ensures manufacturer warranty eligibility, and allows us to install modern ice-and-water shields and synthetic underlayment that outperform older felt paper. In short, a tear-off maximizes the new roof’s lifespan and prevents costly structural issues down the road.
How long does a roof replacement with advanced tear-off equipment typically take in Jonesborough?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft of roof area) are completed in 1–2 days, thanks to the speed of our tear-off machines and a dedicated debris-hauling crew. Larger or more complex roofs—multiple dormers, steep pitches, or heavy decking repairs—may extend the job to 3–4 days. We provide a written schedule before work begins and update you daily, so you always know what stage we’re in.
Will the tear-off process damage my landscaping or property?
Protecting your property is a top priority. We position the tear-off machinery to direct debris onto ground-level dump trailers, not onto flower beds. Plywood shields safeguard siding and windows, and ground tarps capture stray nails. After installation, we run industrial magnetic sweepers around the home and in the driveway. If any accidental damage occurs, our $2 million liability coverage and workmanship guarantee ensure it’s repaired at no cost to you.
Do I need permits for a roof replacement in Jonesborough, and do you handle them?
Yes. The Town of Jonesborough and Washington County require a roofing permit for any structural replacement, including full tear-offs. We pull the permit on your behalf, schedule any required inspections, and post documentation on-site as required by local code. Permit fees and inspection coordination are included in our project proposal, so there are no surprises.
What factors influence the cost of a roof replacement using advanced tear-off equipment?
Key cost drivers include total roof square footage, pitch and accessibility, shingle type (architectural, designer, or metal), decking repairs, and the number of roof penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents). While advanced tear-off equipment does add a small machinery fee, the faster labor time and reduced disposal trips offset much of that expense. After a free on-site inspection, we give you a fixed-price quote that itemizes materials, labor, permits, and cleanup, so you can make an informed decision.
