Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a proper tear-off matter?
A rushed tear-off damages gutters, decking, and landscaping. We pull old material cleanly, protect your property with tarps, and leave the deck in the best possible condition for the new roof. A good tear-off is the foundation of a good re-roof.
Do you inspect the decking after tear-off?
Yes, always. With the old roof off, we check for dry rot, damaged sheathing, and old leak damage. If we find something, we show you, explain the fix, and quote it before proceeding — no surprises.
How do you handle debris and cleanup?
We stage a dumpster on site, run a magnet sweep for nails at the end of every day, and protect landscaping with tarps. The site is left clean each evening.
Can you tear off tile and slate roofs?
Yes. We remove composition, concrete tile, clay tile, slate, and built-up flat roofing. Multi-layer tear-offs are common and we handle them routinely.
Do you handle disposal and recycling?
Yes. We handle all debris removal and recycle where available. You don't need to arrange a separate dumpster or disposal.
