WHAT RE-ROOFING SHOULD ACTUALLY INCLUDE

Re-roofing is the process of renewing an existing roof system when age, wear, leakage, storm damage or repeated repairs make replacement the better long-term decision. The visible roofing material is only one part of the project.

A professional re-roofing project considers the existing deck, underlayment, ventilation, flashings, valleys, penetrations, drainage and transitions before the new roofing system is installed. This is where workmanship matters most.

One contractor.
Every roof detail.

A complete project includes far more than installing the visible roof covering.

Roof Condition Assessment

Review of existing materials, flashings, drainage, visible deck concerns and access conditions before defining the scope.

02

Full Roof Tear-Off

Controlled removal of existing materials with staging, debris handling and protection for landscaping and building access.

03

Approved Roof Re-Cover

Overlay assessment and installation where the existing assembly, manufacturer requirements and applicable conditions permit it.

04

Deck Repairs

Replacement of accessible deteriorated sheathing or damaged substrate identified after removal, within the approved scope.

05

Flashing Renewal

New valley, wall, chimney, skylight, plumbing and transition details integrated with the selected roof system.

06

Ventilation Improvements

Review of intake and exhaust strategy so roof renewal considers attic heat and moisture management.

Re-roofing FAQs

Clear answers before you replace.

Use these answers as a starting point; the right scope still depends on an on-site roof assessment.

What is the difference between re-roofing and roof replacement?

People often use the terms interchangeably. More specifically, re-roofing may refer to either renewing the roof generally or adding a new covering over an existing roof. A full replacement normally means removing the old materials and installing a new system from the prepared deck.

Can a new roof be installed over the existing shingles?

Sometimes, but only when the existing roof, number of layers, deck, moisture conditions, slope, flashings and applicable requirements make an overlay suitable. A lower initial cost does not automatically make it the best long-term option.

Why is a full tear-off often recommended?

Removal exposes accessible decking, eliminates deteriorated layers and allows new underlayment and flashings to integrate cleanly. It also avoids carrying hidden defects into the renewed roof.

How do I know whether repairs or re-roofing make more sense?

Consider roof age, the number and location of leaks, widespread material condition, flashing deterioration, prior repairs and expected ownership horizon. A localized defect on a serviceable roof may justify repair; systemic deterioration may favour renewal.

How long does a re-roofing project take?

Timing varies with roof size, geometry, material, tear-off volume, deck repairs, access and weather. The project schedule should be discussed after the roof is measured and the final scope is selected.

What happens if damaged decking is discovered?

Deteriorated or unsuitable areas should be documented and addressed before covering them. A clear proposal should explain any included allowance or unit pricing for unforeseen deck repairs.

Should skylights be replaced during re-roofing?

It can be a practical time to replace older skylights because their flashings integrate directly with the new roof. Age, condition, glazing performance and compatibility with the selected roof system should be reviewed.

Can you re-roof a strata or townhouse complex in phases?

Yes, where the roof layout, budget and risk profile support phasing. A phased plan should account for temporary transitions, resident access, consistent materials and priorities across buildings.

Which roof material is best for re-roofing?

There is no single best material. Architectural shingles, metal, cedar and 2-ply SBS each suit different slopes, budgets, appearance goals and maintenance expectations. The right choice begins with the roof design and project priorities.

What should be included in a re-roofing estimate?

Look for removal and disposal, substrate preparation, deck-repair allowances, underlayment, flashings, ventilation, roof covering, accessories, edge and drainage details, property protection, cleanup, warranties and exclusions.
