A roof replacement involves fully removing the shingles and underlayment on your roof to reveal the decking. The decking will be inspected and repaired, if needed, and then new underlayment will be laid to protect the decking from water. Next, the shingles are put on, which may consist of asphalt, metal, composite, or another material. You can also choose between 3-tab, architecural, and luxury shingles, based on your budget and preferred style.

If your roof is damaged or leaking and is less than 15 years old, a roof repair can be more practical than full replacement. Common repairs include replacement of shingles and/or fascia boards, patching leaks, and fixing improperly installed flashing.

Roof cleaning is an important maintenance step that helps prolong the roof's lifespan, prevent pest problems, and preserve your roof's appearance. There are two primary cleaning methods: pressure washing and soft washing. Pressure washing uses no chemicals but can damage asphalt shingles, so some homeowner prefer soft washing with chemicals to kill moss, lichens, algae, and more. However, chemical washing should only be done by professionals to ensure runoff doesn't harm plants and wildlife.
