What Happens During a Roof Tear-Off
A roof tear-off is the process of completely removing all existing roofing materials down to the roof deck before installing a new roof. This thorough approach ensures the new roof is built on a solid, undamaged foundation. Here’s what to expect during a typical roof tear-off:
1. Preparation
Contractors protect landscaping, windows, and siding with tarps and plywood.
All necessary tools, dumpsters, and materials are brought onsite.
2. Removal of Old Roofing
Shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials are stripped away using specialized tools.
Old underlayment and flashing are also removed to expose the roof deck.
3. Inspection of Roof Deck
The bare roof deck is carefully inspected for rot, water damage, or structural issues.
Damaged sections are repaired or replaced to ensure a sound base for the new roof.
4. Clean-Up and Prep
All debris is removed, and the deck is swept clean.
New underlayment, flashing, and drip edges are installed as needed.
5. Installation of New Roofing
With the deck prepared, new roofing materials are installed according to manufacturer specifications and building codes.
6. Final Clean-Up
Contractors remove all leftover materials and nails, ensuring the site is safe and tidy.
A roof tear-off is a critical step for a long-lasting new roof. It allows for a thorough inspection and proper repairs, ensuring your new roof performs well for years to come.
