Renew your Roof with Reroofing

Is your home’s roof looking tired or starting to leak? The solution could be reroofing. Re-roofing your home is more than just an update. It’s about making sure your roof keeps doing its job: protecting you and your home. When it comes to re-roofing, you’ve got two main options: roof overlay and tear-off.

A Roof Overlay involves layering new roofing material directly on top of the existing roof. It’s quicker and usually costs less, which can be appealing if you’re working with a tight budget. However, adding this extra layer increases the weight on your roof, and it’s not always the best choice for every home. Plus, it can make it harder to spot hidden issues like leaks, which might get worse if left unchecked.

On the other hand, the Tear-Off Method involves stripping away the old roof before putting on a new one. This option is more labour-intensive and comes with a higher price tag, but it lets you thoroughly inspect the roof deck and fix any hidden damage. While tear-offs take more effort, they generally offer a longer-lasting solution and can even boost your home’s resale value.



Our Reroofing Process

  • 1

    Initial Inspection and Assessment:

    The process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof. A professional roofing contractor will evaluate the roof’s condition, measuring dimensions and identifying areas of concern such as leaks, rot, or structural weaknesses. This assessment allows the contractor to provide an accurate estimate and recommend the most suitable reroofing method.

    Pre-Installation Preparation:

    Before any work begins, the contractor will prepare the site. This includes setting up scaffolding and safety barriers, ensuring all necessary materials and tools are on hand, and clearing the area around the house to protect landscaping and outdoor structures. Proper preparation is essential to minimise disruptions and potential damage during the reroofing process.

    Roof Installation:

    The next step is the actual installation of the new roof. For a roof overlay, this involves laying new shingles or tiles over the existing roof. In the case of a tear-off, the old roof is removed entirely, and any damage to the roof deck is repaired before the new roofing material is installed. The installation phase is where quality workmanship truly matters, as it determines the roof’s longevity and effectiveness.

    Post-Installation Inspection:

    After the new roof is in place, a final inspection is conducted to ensure everything has been installed correctly and meets local building codes. The contractor will check for proper alignment, secure fastenings, and ensure that all vents, chimneys, and other roof features are properly sealed. This step is crucial for guaranteeing the roof’s performance in the years to come.
