For most homes, a roof replacement takes a day to complete. Of course, certain factors can create longer timelines, like weather or the size of the home. With that said, the roof replacement process is the same for all homeowners. We follow industry best practices to ensure materials are installed correctly, and safety measures are met. Following this trusted process ensures the correct installation of your roof. It will offer better protection and look gorgeous once completed.

The general Los Angeles roof replacement process is as follows:

1. Inspection: Before we start removing old materials, performing an inspection is essential. Doing so allows us to identify areas where additional work may need to be completed, such as roof decking replacement or repairs to the attic venting. This inspection is performed during your free estimate.

2. Material Removal: On the day of the roof replacement, we begin by removing old materials. This goes for old shingles/tiles, flashing, vent boots, underlayment, and rotted decking. We dispose of all these materials using refuse containers in the form of trucks or portable dumpsters.

3. Decking and Underlayment: If your home requires new decking, we’ll start installing those materials first. Otherwise, we begin laying out new underlayments for the shingles or tiles. We also prepare the flashing at the appropriate places at this point in the process.

4. Install Shingles/Tiles: The way we install your roofing materials will be determined by the type of material you choose. Shingles are installed with nails while tiles are fastened together using a fastener system. We start from the eaves or the bottom of the roof and work our way to the ridges or top of the roof.

5. Flashing Finalization: The seams of your roof are finalized with the required flashing. This involves flashing around your chimney, skylight, vents, and more.

6. Install Vents: We top off the final touches of your roof with vents and vent boots. These may appear as ridge vents or another type. It varies on the structure of your home’s roof.

7. Cleanup: The final step is to remove all the debris from the worksite and clean up any materials left behind.

Knowing when a roof replacement is appropriate can be difficult. You may not know the age of your roof or can’t tell its health state from the ground. We recommend you hire our best roofing contractors in Los Angeles for a roof inspection. During the inspection, a project manager closely examines every feature of your roof to determine the health state. In some cases, minor repairs are all that is needed, while others require partial or complete roof replacements.

While a roof inspection is the best way to determine when a roof replacement is right, there are signs you can look for too:

• Roof leaks
• Moisture in attic
• Rising cooling costs
• Damaged or missing shingles/tiles
• Mold or moss on roof
• Older than 20 years old
