What to Expect When Getting a Houston Roof Replacement

The decision to invest in a Houston roof replacement is an important one, and you want to be equipped with all the information available before selecting a Houston roofer for a project of this scale. The roof replacement process varies from company to company, but Amstill prides itself on taking steps that other companies skip. Our Houston roof experts have outlined the steps involved in our roof installation process so you can see exactly what to expect when you trust us with your Houston roof replacement project.

Step 1: Get A Houston Roof Inspection

Before you schedule a Houston roof replacement, you should call our Houston roof experts and get a free roof inspection to determine your specific needs. Sometimes our roofers will make recommendations regarding material choices or adjust the scope of work based upon observations that are unique to your property 

If we determine that Houston roof replacement is what’s best for your home, we will walk you through the next steps, including discussing your roof replacement financing options. 

Step 2: Prepare Your Property For Houston Roof Replacement

Since the Houston roof replacement process can be messy, we use our Amstill Homeshield to more efficiently collect project waste like old shingles, nails, and product packaging. This protects your landscaping, siding, and windows from the mess that comes with a roof replacement and streamlines the clean-up process. 

Step 3: Remove Old Roofing

We’ll remove your roof’s existing shingles and then check the condition of the decking below. In order to ensure a flawless installation of the new shingles you’ve selected, we need to verify that your home has a solid nail base system so that the remaining steps of the Houston roof replacement process go as planned and that your shingles can installed without incident.

Step 4: Deck Protection

Next, we’ll secure the edges of your roofing with waterproof protection, followed by the rest of your roof decking. This prevents leaks and encourages proper precipitation run-off, which is essential in Houston’s climate.

Step 5: Reflashing And Sealing

New flashing is installed around chimneys and skylights in order to protect the interior of your home from water infiltration. We’ll also seal any vents to prevent moisture from penetrating your new Houston roofing.

Step 6: Perimeter Fastening

Once all of this has been done, we will fasten the perimeter of your roofing, waterproofing it and providing another element of protection against inclement weather.

Step 7: Install Your New Shingles

Different materials come with different installation instructions, so our Houston roof experts will nail your shingles to your roof according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. We want to ensure that your roof not only looks beautiful, but will properly protect your home and uphold any manufacturer’s warranties that may be included with your shingles.

Step 8: Clean Up

Once the shingles have been installed and a we’ve conducted a final check of your new Houston roofing, the clean up process begins. We’ll remove any leaves or debris that could have blown onto your new roof, then remove all project waste and inspect your lawn and driveway carefully for any nails that may have been left behind.
