Roofing Services in Lafayette
What Roof-Replacement Includes
A full replacement starts with a roof inspection and a written roof estimate. The scope of work covers tear-off, decking, and materials.
- Tear-off of old shingle, felt, and tar paper down to the sheathing
- Inspection of roof deck, plywood, and osb for rot or delamination
- Replacement of flashing, step flashing, and pipe flashing as needed
- Installation of ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys
- Synthetic underlayment across the field, then new architectural shingle
- Ridge cap, ridge vent, drip edge, and fascia work
- Final cleanup, debris haul-off, and a dumpster on site
Quality & Materials Standards
Material choice matters at this elevation. Asphalt shingle and architectural shingle handle UV well. Three-tab shingle is lighter but ages faster. Wood shake and cedar shake suit Old Town's character but need maintenance.
Some homes use metal panel or standing-seam panel for longevity. Low-slope sections may need membrane, tpo, or epdm. Modified bitumen and built-up roof work on flat areas.
Every install follows building code. Ice-and-water shield at the eave guards against ice dam. Proper ventilation — ridge vent and soffit vent — prevents attic moisture. We document storm damage for your insurance claim.
The adjuster reviews scope of work, and a supplement may follow. Know your deductible, keep claim documentation, and understand depreciation versus replacement cost.
