Getting Your Home Ready
- Move vehicles out of the driveway and garage approach
- Take down wall hangings on top-floor rooms; vibration can shake them loose
- Cover items stored in the attic, since some dust will fall
- Keep pets and children inside or away from the work area
- Mark sprinkler heads, septic lids or anything you do not want stepped on
Install Day, Step by Step
- Protection: tarps over beds and walls, plywood over AC units if needed
- Tear-off: old shingles and underlayment removed into a trailer or dumpster
- Deck check: soft or damaged boards are shown to you and replaced
- Dry-in: drip edge, underlayment and ice-and-water membrane go down
- Shingles: starter strip, field shingles, flashing and ridge cap
- Ventilation: ridge vent or other exhaust installed
Most homes are completed in one to two days.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
We clear gutters of debris, run magnetic sweepers over the yard and driveway, and haul off all old material. Then we walk the property with you, point out the details of the new roof, and explain workmanship and manufacturer warranties in writing.
Planning and Budgeting
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, layers removed and decking repairs. Our article on roof replacement cost in Mississippi explains those factors, and how long asphalt roofs last here can help you decide on timing. For other work on your home, see exterior services in Booneville.
Common Questions
Do I need to be home during the roof replacement?
Not necessarily. We like to meet you at the start and at the final walkthrough, and we will call if we find decking issues that need your approval.
Will the noise be bad?
Tear-off and nailing are loud, especially on the first morning. Many homeowners with small children or pets plan to be out for part of the day.
What types of shingles do you install?
We mainly install architectural shingles from major manufacturers such as GAF, and impact-rated shingles when hail resistance is a priority.
Do you help with insurance claims for storm-damaged roofs?
Yes. We document storm damage with photos and notes that can support your claim, and we can walk you through the steps.
What happens if it rains during my roof replacement?
We watch the forecast closely and only open as much roof as we can dry in the same day. If an unexpected shower moves in, crews cover exposed areas with underlayment and tarps until work can resume.
