What's the difference between re-roofing and roof replacement?

Re-roofing involves completely removing your existing roof down to the deck, inspecting and repairing the substrate, and installing an entirely new roofing system. It's more comprehensive than overlay (adding shingles over existing) and ensures any hidden damage is addressed. We don't do overlays—they hide problems.

How long does a complete re-roof take?

Most residential re-roofs are completed in 2-4 days, depending on home size, roof complexity, and weather. Larger homes or those with multiple levels and complex rooflines may take 5-7 days. We'll provide an accurate timeline during your estimate.

What happens to my old roofing materials?

We handle complete removal and disposal. Old shingles, underlayment, damaged decking, and debris are loaded into dumpsters and hauled away. We also use magnetic sweepers to collect any nails from your yard and driveway. Your property is left clean.

Will you repair the wood decking if needed?

Absolutely. Once old materials are removed, we inspect every inch of decking for rot, water damage, or structural issues. Any damaged sections are replaced before new roofing is installed. This is a critical step that protects your investment long-term.

Can I stay in my home during a re-roof?

Yes, most homeowners stay in their homes during re-roofing. It's noisy during work hours, but we contain the work area and protect your property. We'll discuss any specific concerns during planning. If you have infants or pets sensitive to noise, you might consider being away during peak work.

What warranties come with a re-roof?

Our re-roofs include comprehensive warranty coverage: manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 25-50 years depending on product), plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty. As a GAF certified contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty packages that cover both materials and labor.

Is re-roofing a good time to add features like skylights?

Re-roofing is the ideal time for additions or modifications. Installing skylights, solar tubes, new ventilation, or upgraded flashing is much easier and less expensive when the roof is already open. We can coordinate any additions into your project.

How do I prepare my home for a re-roof?

We'll provide detailed preparation instructions, but generally: move vehicles away from the house, secure or remove fragile items from walls, cover items in the attic, and ensure we have clear access around your home. We handle protecting your landscaping and outdoor items.

Richard M.

"Complete re-roof of our 2,800 sq ft home in 3 days. Crew was professional, worked hard, and cleaned up every evening. They found some rotted decking I didn't know about and replaced it. New roof looks incredible and already survived two big storms. Worth every penny."

Karen B.

"After getting quotes from 6 companies, chose Altair for their thoroughness and transparency. They weren't cheapest but explained exactly why quality materials and proper installation matter. Two years later, couldn't be happier. Neighbors with "bargain" roofs are already having issues."

Thomas H.

2024-09-15

"Our 1970s home had the original roof with multiple leak points. Altair stripped everything, replaced damaged decking, added proper ventilation we never had, and installed a beautiful new roof. House feels cooler and energy bills dropped. Transformative work."
