Before the Replacement (Step by Step)

The work does not start when the crew shows up. It starts days earlier. Here is what happens.

1. Free estimate and contract. We inspect your roof. We give you a written estimate. You

approve. You sign a contract. We collect a 30% deposit.

1. Material ordering. We order your shingles from a local supplier (Beck Building Materials or

ABC Supply). Delivery is scheduled for the day before the install.

1. Permit pulling. We pull the permit from Montgomery County (or City of Clarksville). Cost

$175 to $300. Included in your estimate.

1. Scheduling. We give you a rm start date. We con rm the day before. Weather permitting.

If rain is forecast, we reschedule.

1. Prep work. The day before, we stage a dump trailer in your driveway (30 feet long). We lay

tarps over your landscaping. We tape o your attic access inside.

1. Move your cars. Clear the driveway. Leave room for the dump trailer and material

delivery. Park in the street or garage.

1. Protect fragile items. Remove wall hangings from the top floor (vibrations can knock them

down). Cover items in the attic with tarps. Move anything away from the ceiling.

1. Notify your neighbors. The noise will a ect them too. A simple heads-up goes a long way.

During the Replacement (Step by Step)

The crew will arrive at 7 AM. Here is the timeline for a typical 2,000 sq ft home.

1. Crew arrival at 7 AM. We set up ladders and safety lines. We do a safety brie ng. We

introduce the foreman to you.

1. Tear-o (4-6 hours). Loud. Messy. Nails and debris everywhere. We strip every shingle,

every nail, every piece of old underlayment. We throw everything into the dump trailer. This is

the worst part. Plan to be elsewhere.

1. Decking inspection. Once the roof is bare, we walk every sheet of plywood or OSB. We

look for rot, water stains, and soft spots. We mark any bad sheets with chalk.

1. Decking replacement. We show you photos of the bad sheets. You approve the

replacement. We cut out the old sheets and nail in new ones. Cost is $75 to $150 per sheet.

Average roof needs 5-10 sheets.

1. Underlayment (1-2 hours). We roll out synthetic felt over the entire roof. We staple it

down. Then we install ice and water shield in valleys, around penetrations, and along eaves (8

feet up).

1. Shingle installation (4-6 hours). Starter strip at eaves and rakes. Then row after row of

shingles. Each shingle gets 4 nails (6 in high-wind zones). We follow the manufacturer's nailing

pattern.

1. Flashing and ridge vents (1 hour). New pipe boots. New step flashing at walls. New drip

edge at eaves and rakes. New ridge vent along the peak.

1. Cleanup (1-2 hours). We run magnets over your yard and driveway. We blow o your

sidewalk and street. We do a visual inspection for stray nails. We remove the dump trailer.

After the Replacement (Step by Step)

The crew will leave by 5 PM (or 7 PM in summer). Here is what happens next.

1. Final walkthrough. We walk around the house with you. We show you the new roof from

the ground. We point out the ridge vents and flashing. We answer your questions.

1. Warranty paperwork. We give you manufacturer warranty documents and our

workmanship warranty (10 years). We register your shingles with the manufacturer.

1. Permit inspection. The county building inspector comes out within a week. We are

present. You do not need to be home.

1. Payment. You pay the remaining balance (70%). We accept cash, check, credit card, or

financing.
