Shingle Roof Replacement

Shingle roof replacement in Gainesville, FL makes sense when curling, cracking or bald shingles cover large areas, granules pile up in gutters, leaks keep returning, or repairs no longer hold. A contractor's inspection decides between targeted repair and a full reroof.

What a shingle replacement covers
Work may include tear-off, decking repairs, new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, vent boots, ridge vents and architectural shingles with Florida product approval.

Planning the reroof
Whether new shingles can go over the old ones depends on the existing roof; the contractor decides after inspecting it, under the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition, and the city permit. Ask how manufacturer and workmanship warranties differ.

Ask about shingle replacement and give the roof's age if known and any leaks.
