When you are completely replacing a roof, several steps must be taken to ensure the work is done safely and professionally. Since you are reading this article, you must already be interested in a roof replacement, so you should be mindful of the steps that must be taken.
A roof tear-off is done when we completely remove the old roof and install a brand new one. This is the case for most of the older houses we find in Mequon, where the lumber has rotted beyond repair. This work can be a time-consuming process, and the homeowner or renter may be required to find alternative accommodations.
If the current roof has previously been overlayed, it is better to replace it and get a complete tear-off.
Another roof replacement option is a roof overlay. This is recommended for roofs that don’t have extensive damage where the option to overlay the old roof with new slates is always available. This is the option that many roofing specialists offer homeowners first to save the structural integrity of the roof. This can be cost-effective but it will not be performed if it might risk the integrity of the roof.
Many home insurance providers will cover some of the cost of roof replacement depending on your insurance policy, on how the damage was caused, and if you had it included as part of your premium. The best way to find out for sure is to get in touch with your home insurer and ask them directly what they can and cannot cover.
