Time for a Roof Replacement?

If your roof is 20 years or older, it is most likely nearing the end of its service life. We recommend that you are proactive and replace your roof somewhere around 80—85% of the manufacturers life of roof.

There are certain roofing steps taken in the roofing process . When looking at how to reroof or re-shingling a roof on your home there are many components involved beyond shingles. Taken into consideration is the pitch of the roof, the decking, ice dam protection at the eaves, underlayment, joint and valley covering, hip and ridge caps, ventilation, and gutters. When all of the roof components are taken into consideration, your investment will last for years to come. Starting at the bottom-most layer in terms of roofing components, it is what is underneath your roof shingles that really counts for protection. All Angles Covered Roofing provides peace-of-mind protection for your entire roof. The roof installation process encompasses many factors and some of those factors are not visible until we tear off the existing shingles and expose what is underneath. In this process many times we find that roof decking is not up to code or is damaged in some areas. Then the question arises, “How much does it cost to replace roof decking?” This will depend on if your entire decking needs to be replaced or just certain areas. Roof decking, or sheathing, are the thin sheets of plywood that support your roof. Damaged roof decking impacts the structural integrity of your roof. The cost of replacing roof decking will vary depending on the type of plywood used, the size of your home, and the cost of labor. Roof pitch determines what type of shingles we will suggest for your roof. Some shingle composites perform better for different pitched roof installation. The most common pitched roof installation is 4/12 to 20/12. Shingle choice most commonly selected on this type of pitch is asphalt (composite) shingles, but of course, other options are available. Asphalt shingles are also the most common type of roofing material. They comes in two varieties – fiberglass and organic mat. Installing fiberglass shingles, they are a bit lighter than selecting organic mat shingles. Fiberglass shingles are made from a woven fiberglass base mat and then covered with a waterproof asphalt coating and topped with UV-shielding ceramic granules. The shingles don’t need as much asphalt to give them durability and strength because of the composition of the fiberglass mat.

Architectural Shingles Installation Guide 

Among the highest quality roofing products made are architectural roofing shingles. They are also known as laminated or dimensional shingles, and designed to give your roof a good-looking random pattern and show Shingle Roof Detail.  The most popular asphalt roofing material is Architectural shingles. Not only are they the most popular asphalt shingle, they are the most common type of roofing material installed on roofs today. Owens Corning Shingle Installation is the most popular brand and installation we offer. Beyond the most common pitch, there is also very low pitches, sometimes referred to as flat roofs, all the way to very high pitches of the victorian-era homes with sharp angles and steep pitches. In these pitches, the numerator is often higher than the denominator. The pitch of your roof will determine shingle types and composites available to you for selection.

Can You Install A Metal Roof Over Shingles?

In most cases, the answer is yes, you can install a metal roof over an existing shingle roof. Metal roofs are growing in popularity because their installation doesn’t always require having to tear off the existing roof which is time consuming and expensive step in re-roofing. We do check with local building code first though as this is not the case in all areas.
