A roof replacement is a comprehensive process that begins with the removal of the old roofing materials down to the roof deck. Any damaged or rotten sheathing is repaired or replaced to ensure a solid foundation. A new underlayment, which acts as a secondary water barrier, is installed, followed by the new shingles or roofing panels, ensuring proper overlap and fastening according to manufacturer specifications. Critical areas like valleys, chimneys, and vent pipes are equipped with new flashing to prevent leaks. Finally, the entire area is cleaned, and all debris is removed. The pros manage the entire project.

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roofing is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It's widely used for flat or low-slope roofs on commercial and residential buildings due to its durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. TPO membranes are typically white, which reflects solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs. They are also resistant to punctures, tears, and UV exposure. Installation usually involves heat welding the seams to create a strong, monolithic barrier against water infiltration. The pros can assess if TPO is right for your needs.
