What Roof Tear-Off Reveals
A replacement becomes a clearer project when the old covering comes off. The exposed wood and flashing show what the new roof has to connect to.
Why the deck matters
The deck carries the fasteners. Soft, delaminated or deteriorated wood cannot be treated as a sound base just because it will be covered. Repairing affected wood is part of preparing the assembly, with the amount established when it is exposed.
Old layers and old connections
Extra roofing layers add removal and disposal. Earlier flashing can also reveal a patch or a connection that no longer sheds water correctly. New shingles laid over an unresolved detail can preserve the original failure path.
Putting the roof back together
Water protection, flashing, ventilation and the selected covering need to work as one scope. Measured roof surface sets material quantity, while valleys, walls and access set much of the detail labor. Lansing KS Roofing Co can help start that decision with a free inspection and a practical replacement discussion.
