Asphalt shingle replacement is a crucial aspect of maintaining the integrity and longevity of your roof. Over time, asphalt shingles can deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, temperature fluctuations, and general wear and tear. Here's a breakdown of what an asphalt shingle replacement typically entails:
- Assessment: The process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof. Roofing professionals will assess the condition of your shingles, underlying structure, and the overall integrity of the roof. They'll identify areas that require replacement or repair.
- Material Selection: Once the assessment is complete, you'll work with the roofing contractor to select the type, style, and color of the asphalt shingles that best suit your aesthetic preferences and budget. Asphalt shingles come in various styles, including three-tab shingles and architectural (dimensional) shingles.
- Preparation: Before installing the new shingles, any damaged or deteriorated shingles are removed. This includes removing the old shingles, underlayment, and possibly damaged or rotted decking beneath.
- Underlayment: A critical step in the process involves installing or replacing the underlayment. Underlayment acts as a moisture barrier and helps protect your roof from water infiltration. Depending on your local building codes and climate, you may use felt paper, synthetic underlayment, or ice and water shield.
- Flashing and Ventilation: Roof flashings, such as those around chimneys, skylights, and roof edges, are inspected and replaced as needed. Proper ventilation is also crucial for maintaining a healthy roof, so any ventilation issues are addressed during the replacement process.
- Shingle Installation: The new asphalt shingles are then installed according to the manufacturer's specifications and industry best practices. This includes aligning the shingles properly, nailing them securely, and ensuring that they are properly overlapped to prevent water infiltration.
- Sealing: Sealant is often applied in key areas such as roof penetrations and valleys to provide additional protection against water intrusion.
- Cleanup: A reputable roofing company will conduct a thorough cleanup of the work area, ensuring that all debris, old shingles, and nails are removed from your property.
- Inspection: After the installation is complete, a final inspection is performed to confirm that the new shingles are properly installed, and there are no issues with the roof.
- Warranty: Most roofing contractors provide warranties on their workmanship and may also offer warranties on the shingles themselves. Be sure to understand the terms of the warranty and keep the documentation for future reference.
