A new roof installation done to the letter
A replacement is the one chance to fix everything under your shingles, so we never install over an existing roof. Every layer of old shingles, felt, and flashing comes off, because rot, soft decking, and hidden storm damage cannot be seen through a finished surface. Covering problems with new shingles is how a 30 year roof fails in 12.
Our owner, Scott Mason, holds a Purdue B.S. in Construction Engineering Management and has spent more than 15 years on roofs. That background shapes how we build: every replacement is installed to current local building codes and to TAMKO manufacturer specifications, which is exactly what keeps your shingle warranty valid.
What your replacement includes
- Complete tear-off of all existing shingles, underlayment, and old flashing
- A board by board decking inspection, with soft or rotten wood replaced before anything goes on top
- Ice and water shield along the eaves, up the rakes and down the valleys, plus new synthetic underlayment across the field
- TAMKO asphalt shingles installed by a TAMKO Certified Contractor
- New drip edge, step flashing, and pipe boots, never reused parts
- Ridge ventilation matched to your attic so the roof can breathe
- Full cleanup, debris haul-off, and magnetic sweeps for nails
We look at the whole roof system first
Shingles age fast when the attic under them runs hot and damp. Before we quote your replacement, we check ventilation and insulation, because an unbalanced attic cooks shingles from below and can void the manufacturer warranty on brand new material. If yours needs attention, you will see photos and get options, and you can read more on our attic insulation and ventilation page.
Repair or replace? You get a straight answer
Not every aging roof needs to come off. If the decking is sound and the trouble is limited to one slope or one flashing detail, a roof repair is often the smarter spend, and we will tell you so. Replacement earns its price when shingles are brittle or curling across large areas, when leaks keep showing up in new places, or when the decking has widespread rot. And if hail or wind caused the damage, your insurance policy may cover the work; our storm damage and insurance claims page walks through how that process goes.
What a replacement costs
Most shingle roof replacements we do run $12,000 to $18,000, depending on size, pitch, decking condition, number of stories, and roof complexity. If the attic needs ventilation or insulation work as part of the job, expect an additional $3,000 to $8,000 on top of that.
We inspect the property thoroughly before quoting specifically so you are not hit with a change order on tear-off day. Decking is priced per sheet at a rate you agree to before we start. Our roof replacement cost page breaks down what moves the number, and our financing page covers the options if you would rather pay over time.
How long a replacement takes
Most single family homes are torn off and reshingled in one to two days once materials arrive. Larger, steeper, or cut-up roofs can run longer, and you will have the schedule in writing before we start. Materials get delivered ahead of our crew, work starts early, and we never leave a torn-off section exposed overnight.
