When a roof reaches the end of its life, a clean installation matters more than the brand name on the shingle. Universal Roofing handles new roof installations and reroofing from the first inspection through final cleanup.
We start by looking at the existing roof and decking, talk through whether a reroof or a full tear-off makes sense, and give you a clear written estimate before any work begins.
What's included
- Full inspection and assessment
- Tear-off and disposal
- Decking repair where needed
- New roof installation in your chosen material
- Thorough site cleanup and magnetic nail sweep
Reroof or replace?
A reroof (laying new material over the old) can save money when the existing roof and decking are sound. But our snow and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on weak decking, and covering a failing roof just hides the problem. We will tell you honestly which one your roof actually needs.
Frequently asked questions
Can you roof over my existing shingles?
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and code allows it, an overlay can save money. If there is rot, multiple existing layers, or hidden damage, a tear-off is the right call and we will explain why.
What are the signs I need a new roof?
Curling or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, daylight in the attic, repeated leaks, and age past 20 years are all signs. A free inspection will tell you for sure.
How long does a reroof take?
Most homes take a few days depending on size, material, and weather. We will give you a realistic timeline up front.
