Professional Roofing Processes Part Three (Tear Off and Clean Up)

       Most of our roofing projects begin with a full tear off of all roofing, underlayments, edging, and existing vents, pipe flashing, etc. This is a messy job but it allows us to start with a clean slate and not cover over any potential problems in your current roof system. Although building code allows for a 2nd layer to be placed over an existing roof, it is almost never in the clients best interest from a value standpoint, and the reduction in warranty coverage is evidence.
       We begin by protecting your house and landscaping with tarps and plywood to ensure your property looks as good as it did before we started. Safety is always top priority. We are professionals who do this everyday. In the event that an accident occurs, you can rest assured that we have proper Contractor's Liability, NYS Disability, and Worker's Compensation Insurance to protect our clients, our trade partners, and ourselves.
      

       After clean up we will walk your grounds with magnets to recover any nails that got away. Once the tear off is complete, we now have a clean view of your roof. It is at this time we may need to add some extra plywood or flashings to the job scope. If this happens, we will introduce a change order so you will know the additional cost, before the work is done. Communication is key to ensure both client and contractor satisfaction.

Next we will discuss the proper preparation of your new Integrity Roof System.
