Project Overview
The Condition
Visible moss growth and an aging shingle roof.
The Work
The existing shingle roof was removed and replaced with a new shingle roofing system.
What Homeowners Can Learn
From This Project
Moss growth is often the most visible sign of an aging roof, but the decision to replace comes down to the overall condition of the roofing system, not moss alone.
A full tear-off gives a clean look at the roof deck before anything new goes on, which a repair or overlay wouldn't provide.
What To Know
What Happens After Tear-Off
Once the old shingles come off, the roof deck is exposed for the first time in years. That's the point where any decking issues, past water damage, or ventilation problems become visible and can be addressed before new roofing goes down.
Only after that inspection does installation of the new roofing system begin, following the manufacturer's specifications for the chosen shingle product.
Roof Care
Why The Roof Deck Matters
The roof deck is the structural surface everything else attaches to. New shingles installed over a deck with hidden rot or soft spots won't perform the way they're supposed to, no matter how good the shingle itself is.
That's why a deck inspection during tear-off matters as much as the shingle installation that follows it.
