Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

Shingle Options

Different shingle products vary in design, composition, appearance, and published performance specifications. Ask which product is included in the written proposal.

Installation Details

Underlayment, starter courses, edge details, flashing, ventilation, and ridge treatment can affect the completed system.

Tear-Off And Deck Condition

Ask whether the existing covering will be removed and how deteriorated decking will be identified and priced.

Maintenance And Warranty

Understand the difference between manufacturer material coverage and the contractor’s workmanship terms. Follow the documented maintenance guidance.

Practical Homeowner Checklist

Use these considerations when discussing the project with a qualified roofing contractor. The correct scope depends on your roof and applicable local requirements.

Shingle Types And Compatibility

Shingle products differ in construction, appearance, wind ratings, and installation requirements. Select a product appropriate for roof slope and exposure, and verify that the specified underlayment, starter, ridge, and ventilation components are compatible.

Flashing And Leak-Prone Details

Valleys, chimneys, skylights, plumbing vents, walls, and roof edges require careful detailing. A proposal should explain whether existing flashing will be replaced or reused and why. A new shingle surface alone does not resolve a poorly detailed penetration.

What To Confirm Before Installation

Ask about tear-off, deck inspection, replacement allowances, nail placement, ice or water protection where required, ventilation, disposal, and warranty conditions. Confirm how unexpected rotten decking will be photographed and approved before additional charges.

Questions To Ask Before You Proceed

• What observations support the proposed work, and can they be documented?
• Which materials, accessories, and labor are included in the written scope?
• Who handles permits and inspections when required?
• How are unforeseen repairs and change orders approved?
• What does each warranty cover, and who handles a future claim?
