What Does It Mean to Reroof Your Home?

Reroofing (also spelled re-roofing) is a means of protecting or reinforcing an existing roof by placing new shingles on top of old ones. This process can only be performed once, so you cannot add another layer if a roof already has more than one layer of roofing.  Reroofing is ideal for homeowners with a roof containing minor cosmetic damages such as a few missing shingles, minor water damage, or a small hole. 

The procedure of layering new shingles should be applied to the entire roof rather than specific spots or portions of the roof. Reroofing is appealing to homeowners who want to avoid the high cost of a full roof replacement. However, it can only be a viable option if a home meets the proper criteria to warrant reroofing. Depending on the roof’s age, condition, and even the size of the home, reroofing may or may not be feasible.

The Reroofing Process

Professional Roof Replacement Services in Your Area

Before you can choose to reroof your home, your roof needs to be properly inspected by a professional. We will check the condition of the roof and determine if reroofing can be reasonably done. 

If your home qualifies for reroofing, we will give you a free estimate of the costs. If you agree, you can sign the contract, choose a shingle color, and we will give you a projected start date. 

Our Comprehensive Reroofing Process

Raptor Roofing approaches reroofing following these steps:

  • Prep Work for Safe Reroofing. Before the reroofing begins, our roofers take the proper precautions to protect your property’s landscaping and windows. Some prep work includes installing safety boards if needed and clearing off any obstructions (such as yard furniture).
  • Thorough Roof Deck Examination. We inspect the roof decking to make sure the old shingles and plywood are in good enough condition. We also check for issues like leaks, mold, or hidden damage.
  • Quality Underlayment Installation. Upon confirmation that the roof is in respectable shape, we begin to install underlayment, strategically using ice and water shields in challenging areas like valleys and roof penetrations. This durable material holds up well and lays flat so the new shingles can be smoothly layered on top.
  • Layering New Shingles for Durability. Here we install starter shingles and then regular shingles until the entire roof is covered and lined up properly.
  • Post-Project Cleanup for Your Peace of Mind. Upon completion, we will do our due diligence in cleaning up nails, staples, and other roof debris from our work. Our aim is to leave your house as neat and tidy as it was before the project.

What’s the Best Time for Reroofing in Williamson County?

Our roofers unanimously declare fall to be the best time to reroof a home. We want the process to be as smooth and quick as possible, so scheduling in the fall can ensure we start and finish the project in a timely manner. This is because the weather is perfect during this time of year. 

Reroofing in the summer, especially in Texas, or even the winter can be challenging. Fall temperatures make for an overall easier layering of the shingles as extreme weather in either direction can make them difficult to handle. 

If it’s too hot, the shingles can stick to one another, while cold weather can make the shingles brittle and more susceptible to breaking. Fall is also when it is less likely for storms to be on the forecast, which can interrupt work.
