Tear-Off Roof Replacement

What This Service Involves

Tear-off replacement removes all existing roofing layers so we can inspect and rebuild directly on clean sheathing. In the Northwest this is the gold standard because it reveals the hidden rot, delamination, and moisture staining that thrive under years of rain and moss. With the deck exposed, we repair soft spots, install fresh ice-and-water shield and underlayment, and lay new material on a sound foundation. It costs more than an overlay but delivers the longest-lasting, fully warrantied result for our demanding climate.
