YOUR ROOF REPLACEMENT PROJECT

A new roof starts with the condition beneath it

Worn shingles, recurring leaks, and repeated repairs can point to a roof nearing the end of its useful service. RGR reviews the roof covering, visible decking conditions, flashing, and ventilation to help define a replacement scope.

What RGR does for your roof replacement project

Signs worth checking

Widespread shingle wear, missing sections, recurring water entry, and visible sagging call for a closer look. Age alone does not tell the whole story.

Repair or replace?

A localized problem may be repairable. Widespread deterioration, several failing details, or repeated leaks may make a complete replacement the more practical project.

Choose the roof system

Compare architectural shingles, suitable metal systems, and a FORTIFIED upgrade before work begins. Roof shape, exposure, appearance, and budget guide the choice.

Address connected details

Plan for flashing, penetrations, ventilation, and any damaged roof decking exposed during removal. New shingles cannot correct a deteriorated substrate by themselves.

Understand what goes into a roof replacement

The visible roof covering is only one part of the work. A useful replacement proposal explains the layers beneath it and the details where different parts of the roof meet.

Decking, underlayment and the finished covering

Decking is the wood surface beneath the roof covering. Its condition affects the work needed before a new system goes on. Underlayment provides a layer beneath the shingles or panels; it does not replace sound decking. Ask how damaged decking discovered during removal will be documented, priced and approved.

Flashing, roof edges and penetrations

Chimneys, walls, valleys and vent pipes interrupt the roof surface. Their flashing and transitions deserve a defined scope instead of an assumption that new shingles solve every leak. Review which existing details will be replaced, which may remain, and how roof edges and drainage will be handled.

Material selection and ventilation

Shingles, metal and a FORTIFIED upgrade involve different choices. Compare the complete installation, not just the covering’s appearance. Attic ventilation also deserves review as a system: intake and exhaust need to work together where the roof assembly uses ventilation. Product suitability and the existing construction guide the details.

Why coastal conditions matter

Wind-driven rain, humid weather, and exposed roof edges make installation details especially important near the coast. RGR plans the replacement around the whole roof assembly, including transitions and water-shedding details.

Define your replacement

Choose materials and outline removal, decking allowances, flashing, and any upgrade requirements.

03

Replace and document

Remove the old covering, address discovered conditions, and install the agreed roof system.

04

Walk through the finished work

Review the completed scope, cleanup, and available product and project documentation.

What shapes your replacement estimate?

Roof size is a starting point. Two roofs with a similar footprint can require very different amounts of removal, detail work and access planning.

  • Existing construction. Number of existing layers, accessible deck condition and any connected framing repairs.
  • Roof geometry and access. Steep sections, valleys, dormers, chimneys, property access and protection around the work area.
  • Selected scope. Roof covering, flashing, ventilation, debris removal, documentation and any FORTIFIED evaluation requirements.

Before comparing estimates, check that removal, concealed-condition allowances, connected repairs and product choices describe a comparable scope.

Roof Replacement FAQs

How do I know whether replacement is necessary?

The pattern and extent of damage matter. RGR reviews visible roof conditions and discusses whether targeted repairs or a complete replacement better fit the property.

Can you replace damaged roof decking?

Roof decking repairs can be included when deteriorated areas are identified. Conditions discovered after tear-off may require an updated scope before the new covering is installed.

Can I change from shingles to metal?

A change may be possible, depending on the roof assembly and the selected system. Discuss roof geometry, connections, appearance, and coastal exposure during planning.

Can roof replacement include a FORTIFIED upgrade?

Yes, discuss the upgrade before replacement starts so the required construction details, independent evaluation, and documentation can be planned.

What should I send for an estimate?

Include your property address or ZIP, a brief description of the roof, any known leaks, and the type of replacement you are considering.

How long will my roof replacement take?

The schedule depends on roof size and complexity, weather, material availability and repairs found after removal. Ask RGR to explain the expected work sequence and what could change it after the roof is opened.

Will new shingles fix every roof leak?

Not necessarily. Water entry can involve flashing, penetrations, deteriorated decking or connected wall details. Those conditions need to be addressed in the replacement scope, not simply covered with new shingles.
