A roof replacement sounds somewhat straightforward. The old roof gets replaced by a new one, then everyone goes home to enjoy their time with their families. Unfortunately, getting the old roof off and replacing it with a brand new one isn’t as simple as it looks in video games. There’s much more to it, and you’ll need a team of reliable roofers to pull it off.
The process starts when Fort Worth roofing companies remove the old roof. A few workers begin to strip the old roof off little by little, removing all the shingles, flashing and additional installations, such as any skylights or additional roofing materials present around the chimney.
Once everything is done, the decking and underlayment is checked for damage, which is then repaired if necessary, before the new roof is added on top. The new roof will often be the same material as the old one, but this isn’t a rule. When shifting from one roofing material to the other, there can be changes that are made, and you’ll find the final product will look very different than the one before, albeit the internal structure will usually stay the same.
The entire process can last anything from 2-3 days to several weeks, depending on the size of the roof and the complexity of the project. Also, expect to pay thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars for your brand new roof.
