When we replace your roof, we tear the outer layer of the tiles or shingles and inspect the layering to make sure that it’s sturdy and has no leaks, cracks, or openings.
When we install a new roof, it means we build the roof structure from scratch, from the decking to the underlayment, including rafters, trusses, and all other structural parts that make a roof stand up.
Roof replacement only looks at the exterior features of a roof. Roof replacement might involve replacing all the asphalt shingles of your roof if they are over 15 years old and have started warping and curling.
Roof installation is more labor-intensive and requires professional craftsmanship. When the structure of a roof is solid, then the whole roof is safer and leak-proof.
