Roof replacement typically includes the following components:

• Removal of old roofing materials: This involves removing the existing shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials. This may also include removing old roof decking (plywood/OSB) or any other structural elements that are damaged or in poor condition.
• Repair of roof decking: The roof decking (the underlying layer of wood or other material that supports the roofing materials) is inspected and any damaged or rotten areas are replaced.
• Installation of new underlayment: A new layer of underlayment (a water-resistant barrier) is installed to protect the roof decking.
• Installation of new flashing: Flashing is the metal or other material used to seal around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations in the roof. New flashing is installed to prevent water from seeping through these areas.
• Installation of new roofing materials: The new roofing materials, such as shingles, tiles, or metal panels, are installed.
• Clean up and debris removal: Our Roofing Team will clean up the worksite and dispose of any waste materials, including the old roofing materials.

Note that the specific components included in a roof replacement project can vary based on the type of roofing material being used, the roof's slope, and other factors.

The decision to repair or replace your roof can be a difficult one. On one hand, repairing a roof can be a cost-effective solution if the damage is relatively minor and the roof is relatively new. On the other hand, replacing a roof can provide peace of mind knowing that the new roof will provide long-term protection for your home and its contents. Here are some factors to consider when making the decision to repair or replace your roof:

Age of the roof: If your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan (usually around 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace the roof rather than make repairs. This is especially true if the roof has been poorly maintained and is showing signs of significant wear and tear.

Extent of the damage: If the damage to your roof is widespread or severe, it may be more cost-effective to replace the roof. For example, if more than one-third of the roof is damaged or if there is significant damage to the roof decking or underlying structure, a replacement may be necessary.

Type of roofing material: Some roofing materials are easier to repair than others. For example, asphalt shingle roofing can usually be repaired relatively easily, while tile roofing may require more extensive repairs.

Cost: The cost of repairing a roof can sometimes be higher than the cost of replacing the roof, especially if the damage is extensive or the roof is old. It is important to get a written estimate from a professional roofing contractor before making a decision.

In conclusion, the decision to repair or replace your roof should be based on a careful evaluation of the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, the type of roofing material, and the cost.
