Roof Replacement: What Regina Homeowners Should Know

What Actually Happens on Tear-Off Day

A replacement is a short, loud, messy project and it goes better when you know the shape of it. We protect what is under the eaves first, then strip the old roofing down to the deck rather than laying new material over old, because covering an unknown deck is how a new roof inherits an old problem. With the sheathing exposed we walk it, mark anything soft or delaminated, and replace those sheets. That is also the moment we can see whether previous work was done properly, and it is the only honest opportunity to fix framing or ventilation issues at the sheathing level.

Then the assembly goes back on in order: ice-and-water membrane at the eaves running past the inside face of the exterior wall and up every valley, underlayment over the field, new drip edge, valley metal, flashing rebuilt at chimneys and walls rather than reused, shingles fastened to the manufacturer's pattern, and ridge cap with exhaust ventilation sized to the intake the soffits can actually deliver. At the end we run a magnet over the yard and driveway more than once, because a nail in a tire is the detail people remember about a roof job. You get photographs of the deck before it was covered, which is the part of your roof you will never see again.
