Understanding When Your Home Needs a Re-Roof

Determining the right time for a re-roof requires careful evaluation of your existing roofing system. At Facing The Sun, we conduct thorough inspections to assess whether your roof has reached the end of its service life. Common indicators include widespread shingle deterioration, multiple leak locations, sagging roof deck sections, and extensive granule loss that exposes the underlying mat. Age plays a crucial factor too – most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20-30 years depending on quality and environmental conditions.

Our GAF Certified installers examine not just the visible surface but also the underlying structure. We check for damaged decking, compromised flashing systems, and inadequate ventilation that may have shortened your roof’s lifespan. When repair costs exceed 30% of replacement value or when damage affects more than 25% of the roof surface, re-roofing becomes the most cost-effective solution. Our 24/7 emergency service means we can address urgent situations promptly while helping you plan for a complete replacement.

The Re-Roofing Process: From Assessment to Completion

Re-roofing involves completely removing your existing roof system down to the deck and installing new materials from scratch. We begin by protecting your property with tarps and establishing debris collection zones. Our crews carefully remove old shingles, underlayment, and flashing while inspecting the roof deck for damage. Any compromised decking gets replaced with new plywood or OSB to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.

Next comes the critical waterproofing stage. We install high-quality underlayment across the entire deck, paying special attention to valleys, eaves, and penetrations. Our GAF Certified status ensures we follow manufacturer specifications precisely, using ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. New drip edge and flashing components create a comprehensive water management system. The shingle installation follows specific nailing patterns and overlap requirements that maximize wind resistance and longevity. Throughout the the Greater Fresno Area, weather conditions demand roofing systems that withstand intense heat, occasional storms, and temperature fluctuations.

Material Selection and Energy Efficiency Considerations

Choosing the right roofing materials impacts both performance and energy costs. We offer extensive options including architectural shingles, designer shingles, and specialty products that enhance curb appeal while providing superior protection. Modern shingles incorporate reflective granules that reduce heat absorption, potentially lowering cooling costs by 10-15% during summer months. Our team explains the benefits of different warranty levels, from standard 25-year coverage to lifetime protection options.

Energy efficiency extends beyond shingle selection. Proper attic ventilation prevents heat buildup and moisture accumulation that can damage insulation and structural components. We calculate the exact ventilation requirements for your home, installing ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered ventilators as needed. Radiant barriers and enhanced insulation options further improve energy performance, creating a more comfortable living environment year-round.
