Trusted Complete Re-roof Services
Re-roofing represents one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your home’s long-term protection and value. At LaPrade Roofing & Construction, we specialize in complete roof replacement projects that transform aging, worn roofing systems into durable, weather-resistant shields for your home. A re-roof involves stripping away all existing roofing materials down to the deck, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, and installing an entirely new roofing system from the foundation up.
The decision to re-roof typically comes after years of minor repairs and patch jobs have reached their limit. Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 to 30 years, depending on factors like weather exposure, ventilation quality, and maintenance history. When we assess a roof for potential replacement, we look for telltale signs including widespread granule loss, multiple layers of existing shingles, sagging areas, extensive moss or algae growth, and daylight visible through roof boards in the attic. These indicators suggest that repairs alone won’t provide the protection your home deserves.
Our Comprehensive Re-roofing Process
Every re-roofing project we undertake follows a meticulous process designed to deliver lasting results. We ensure our customers are supported through the whole roofing process and provided with transparent communication through all steps. The journey begins with a thorough inspection where we document existing conditions, measure the roof precisely, and identify any structural concerns that need addressing before new materials go on.
Once we’ve established the project scope, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate material delivery to minimize disruption to your daily life. Our experienced crews begin by protecting your property with tarps and plywood shields around the perimeter. We then systematically remove all existing roofing materials, working section by section to maintain weather protection throughout the process. This teardown phase reveals the true condition of your roof deck, allowing us to replace damaged plywood or OSB sheathing, reinforce weak areas, and ensure proper ventilation pathways.
Material Selection and Installation Excellence
Choosing the right materials for your re-roof project impacts both immediate costs and long-term performance. We guide homeowners through options ranging from traditional three-tab shingles to premium architectural shingles, each offering different warranties, wind ratings, and aesthetic appeals. As a GAF certified contractor, we have the backing and resources from the largest shingle manufacturer in the United States, giving you access to enhanced warranty options and proven material quality.
The installation phase showcases our commitment to excellence. We begin with high-quality underlayment, using synthetic materials that provide superior water resistance compared to traditional felt paper. Ice and water shield gets installed in valleys, around penetrations, and along eaves where ice dams commonly form. Our crews meticulously install starter strips, field shingles, and ridge caps according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring every component works together as an integrated system. Proper nailing patterns, sealant application, and course alignment might seem like minor details, but they determine whether your new roof lasts 20 years or 30.
