On pitched roofs, we strip the existing layers down to the deck, replace any rotted sheathing, install ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and architectural shingles with proper ridge ventilation. On flat roofs, we remove saturated material, correct drainage where possible, and install a new EPDM, modified bitumen or TPO system with new edge metal and flashings.
We will walk you through the options at the free estimate, including whether a skylight or roof hatch should be added or replaced while the roof is open, and what the project will look like day to day on your street. Permits are often required for full replacements, and we can advise on what typically applies to your property.
When replacement is the right call in Clifton
Replacement is warranted when shingles are brittle and losing granules across the roof, when repairs keep chasing new leaks, or when a flat roof has widespread blistering, ponding and seam failure. For pitched roofs in Clifton we typically recommend architectural shingles, which handle wind better than older three-tab styles. For flat roofs, the choice between EPDM, modified bitumen and TPO depends on foot traffic, rooftop equipment and how the roof drains.
On Clifton's tighter residential streets, think about where a dumpster and material delivery can go, and let neighbors know if a shared driveway will be affected. Permits are often required for full replacements; we can advise on what applies to your property. Most residential replacements are done in a few days, weather permitting.
