Roofing

Putting a new roof over your home is a big investment that comes with a lot of questions. Although it may be one of the biggest investments you’ll make for your home, it also yields the biggest return of investment. Reports show that a new roof yields more than 80% of its original cost upon resale. More than 30% of real estate agents also accredit new roofs for their quick sales. When it comes to roof restoration, there is actually more than one option that you can choose from.

  • Re-Roofing – Re-roofing is the quickest and least expensive way to restore your original roof’s appearance. During re-roofing, a new overlay is placed over your worn shingles to restore the look of your roof as well as provide an extra protective layer to help prevent leaks from getting inside your home. If you have just one layer of shingles on your roof, you are a candidate for re-roofing. If you have two layers installed, you may be prohibited by building codes from installing an additional layer which may require a full roof replacement.

There are several benefits of re-roofing, such as:

  • Re-roofing is cheaper in comparison to a full roof replacement. This is because re-roofing does not require as much time, labor, or materials in comparison to having a new roof installed.
  • Re-roofing does not require replacing the entire roof which can give you satisfying results in a shorter amount of time.

There may also be some disadvantages to re-roofing, such as:

  • You may not be able to avail of re-roofing services if you have more than two layers of shingles on your roof.
  • Re-roofing does not last as long as a complete roof replacement.
  • If you currently have a metal roof, re-roofing is not recommended.
  • Since you will not be removing or lifting the current shingles, there is no way to know if there are any damages, such as rot or sagging, that exist underneath which means that adding a new extra layer of shingles will not fix any major issues.
  • Roof Replacement – When you have a full roof replacement, the old shingles are completely stripped from the roof, exposing the deck. An underlayment of felt paper is then applied to the deck to help protect it from water or any other elements. The new shingles are then installed on top of the underlayment of felt paper.

 

These are the benefits of a roof replacement:

  • Having a completely new roof lasts longer than re-roofing.
  • This process can be done no matter how many layers of shingles are currently present on the roof.
  • Re-roofing may only cover up any issues with the deck which can eventually lead to the roof giving out. A completely new roof can address all present issues and ensure a safer and sturdier roof.
  • A complete roof replacement is a great investment that can save money in the long haul because it helps you identify the early signs of rot and sagging caused by water damage to the deck which can lead to water leaking and dripping inside the walls. This may lead you to costly repairs.

There may also be some disadvantages to a roof replacement, such as:

  • An entire roof renovation takes more materials, time, and labor than re-roofing which means that you’ll have a more costly project.

 

The Roofing Process

Let’s have a run-down of the entire roofing process:

  1. Delivery and Removal – On the day of the roofing process, all materials will be delivered to your home one by one by the members of the roofing team. The roofing materials will be dropped off at your driveway and the shingles will be brought to the roof of your house. The roofing team will then begin to remove your old roof. All the old shingles will be disposed of and the felt paper is then applied to protect your home from other elements. This also gives your new roof a solid, new, and clean foundation to lay on. If some of your plywood is rotten or damaged, it’ll be removed and replaced with brand new plywood.
  2. Roof Installation – Once your old roof has been removed and any damaged plywood has been replaced, the next step is to lay down new roofing felt or tar paper. Ice and water shields in the valleys of your roof are installed for protection against these elements. Since chimneys are one of the most common areas of roof leaking, ice and water shields are installed around this area as well to avoid any possible issues in the future. The entire roof is dried before installing the shingles.
  3. Shingles Installation – Once repairs have been made to the underlying plywood and the roofing felt has been replaced and dried, your chosen roof shingles will then be applied. After the shingle installation process has been completed, the roofing team will go back and paint all of the roofing vents and pipes to match the color of your new shingles. Painting these accessories allows them to blend in with your new roof and gives it a more appealing look.
  4. Final Cleanup – Once the installation process is complete, the roofing company will then do a final inspection of your entire property for any fallen trash, shingles, or nails. A nail magnet is run around the outer edges of your home and your driveway to pick up any stray nails and other metal objects that may damage your tires or cause you harm.

“If all businesses were run like Redwood Roofing, the world would be a better place! They showed up on time and did a beautiful job. They saved my studio from next years storms and will get our next roof on our main house when the occasion arises.

Jordan’s crew was delightful and very approachable. Ezekiel, Jose, Pedro and the rest were like watching a play on the roof unfold before your eyes. A well choreographed execution. They know what they are doing and do it with a smile. All in two days.

The reviews below do all the talking, but we wanted to add our two cents to the pile. You can trust them.”

“Redwood Roofing completed a reroof of my house and has been amazing to work with. Jordan personally oversaw the project and had consistently great workers on his team. The job was complex since my house was built in 1931, has a lot of ridge lines, I was looking to install a special type of roof material…I couldn’t be happier with my new roof and the level of service Redwood Roofing has provided.”

If your home needs a new roof, asphalt shingles are an excellent roofing choice. Asphalt shingles are a long-lasting and cost-effective roofing material that comes in several designs and colors and Redwood Roofing Repair provides expert shingle installation services in Santa Cruz and surrounding areas. 

Shingle Repair

If your roof is missing shingles from wind damage or if your shingles are cracked or broken, we provide shingle repair to replace missing shingles. If your shingle roof is leaking we can find and fix leaks to keep your roof fully functioning.

Shingle Replacement

If your roof has severe damage or if your shingles have reached the end of their life, we provide roofing replacement services. Under certain circumstances codes allow for installing an additional shingle roof on the top layer of shingles. Typically it is best to remove all roofing materials to expose the decking and ensure that there is no dry rot, termite damage, etc. For roofs with more than one layer of shingles, codes require removing the existing layer and installing new shingles and roofing underlayment.

We are a fully licensed and insured roofing company. Our years of experience allow us to provide the best work for our customers, and to get work done on time.
