Before Work Day: Inspection and Proposal
We start with a free roof inspection on the roof and in the attic. We measure every slope, check the decking and ventilation, and photograph problem areas. You then receive a written proposal covering the scope, the material and color, any expected deck repairs and how the manufacturer and workmanship warranties work. Nothing gets scheduled until you have read it and your questions are answered.
How to Prepare Your Home
- Move vehicles out of the driveway so the dumpster and materials can be placed.
- Take down wall hangings on upper floors; hammering can rattle them loose.
- Keep children and pets clear of the work area and the drip line of the roof.
- Cover items stored in the attic, since some dust can fall during tear-off.
On the Roof: Tear-Off to Ridge Cap
- Old shingles and underlayment come off down to the wood deck.
- Damaged decking is replaced so the new roof has a solid base.
- Leak barrier goes into valleys and around chimneys, vents and skylights.
- Synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and new flashing are installed.
- Architectural shingles or metal panels go on, followed by ridge vents or other exhaust ventilation.
Most Grenada homes take one to three days. You can compare shingle styles on our Grenada shingle installation page.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
We clear debris daily, run magnetic nail sweepers across the lawn and driveway for nails, and haul everything away. Then we walk the property with you, point out the work that was done and answer any final questions. If your project began with storm damage, our Grenada storm damage and insurance claim services explain how documentation is handled. For siding, gutters and other exterior work in the area, visit our Grenada County services hub.
Common Questions
Do I need to be home during the replacement?
No, though we like to meet you at the start and at the final walkthrough. We will need access to the driveway and an outdoor outlet, and we will keep you updated if deck repairs change the plan.
What happens if it rains in the middle of the job?
We schedule around the forecast and only tear off what can be dried in the same day. If weather moves in unexpectedly, the exposed area is covered before we leave.
What signs mean my Grenada roof should be replaced?
Look for missing or damaged shingles, stains on ceilings, leaks that keep coming back and a roof that is about 20 years old or more. An inspection tells you whether a repair could still work.
Can you just repair my current roof instead?
If the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is healthy, yes. We will quote a repair when that is the better choice.
