Roof Replacement

Planning and living through a roof replacement. Repair or replace, what tear-off involves, decking and ventilation, permits, and how the job actually runs.

Replacing a roof is a large amount of money and several noisy days, and most people go into it having never watched one done. Knowing the sequence in advance changes the experience: you can tell whether the work is progressing normally, and you know which questions belong to which day.

These articles cover the decision first, whether the roof needs replacing at all, and then the job itself, from what happens to the old roof through to what should be true before the crew packs up and leaves.
