What Roof Tear Off Reveals Beneath the Shingles
Choosing new shingles is the visible part of replacement. Removing the old roof is when the condition of the support becomes clear. Raymore Roof Pros helps keep that less visible work in the plan from the beginning.
The deck has a job before the covering does
Roof decking provides the base for the fasteners and the water-control layers. If it has softened or deteriorated, new shingles cannot give the attachment beneath them back its strength.
Some deck condition can be suggested by inspection, but old roofing covers the surface that must support the new assembly. Tear off exposes it so needed repairs can be carried out.
Hidden damage changes real work
A long-standing leak can have affected more wood than the stain inside suggests. A flashing detail may have been covered by an earlier repair. Extra roofing layers add removal and disposal work.
These discoveries affect the scope. The proposal should make clear how additional deck work is handled rather than imply the initial visible-roof estimate has already measured every hidden condition.
The replacement can then reconnect the system
With sound support, underlayment and ice-barrier materials can be installed with correct laps. Flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys can connect to the new covering. Edge details can direct water into the gutter instead of leaving the old weak connection in place.
Raymore’s adopted amendments make removal to the deck the ordinary replacement approach, with specified exceptions. The permit guide explains the distinction without treating a recovery exception as permission for every roof.
Budget for a complete scope
