Roof Replacement in Grants Pass & Southern Oregon
When repairing individual problems no longer makes financial or practical sense, Mike McCloud Construction can replace the roofing system and address what is happening underneath it at the same time.
Replacement Should Solve More Than the Visible Problem
A roof replacement is an opportunity to evaluate the roofing surface, decking, flashing, ventilation and drainage as one system.
Mike’s job is to determine whether replacement is actually warranted and then help you choose a roofing system appropriate for the house and budget.
Reasons Replacement May Be Considered
What a Roof Nearing Replacement Can Look Like
No single photograph proves a roof needs replacement. These are examples of conditions that deserve a closer look.
Large Areas of Missing Roofing
When damage extends across a significant portion of the roof, replacement may make more sense than creating numerous individual repairs.
Widespread Shingle Deterioration
When deterioration is occurring across the roof rather than in one isolated location, a series of small patches may not provide the best long-term result.
Significant Water Intrusion
Roof leaks can damage more than the visible roofing surface. When water has affected decking or other parts of the structure, the scope may extend beyond a simple patch.
Visible Sagging
A roofline that visibly sags deserves more than a cosmetic roofing repair. Structural conditions need to be understood before a new roofing system is installed.
The New Roof Is More Than the Material You See
The finished shingle or metal panel is only one part of the replacement.
Existing Roof
The current roofing assembly and number of layers need to be understood before work begins.
Roof Deck
Decking is inspected so damaged or unsuitable areas can be addressed as needed.
Underlayment
The weather-resistant layers beneath the finished roof are part of the complete system.
Flashing
Valleys, walls, chimneys, penetrations and transitions require proper detailing.
Roofing Material
Shingle or metal systems are selected based on the property and project requirements.
Ventilation & Drainage
Roof ventilation, gutters and water movement should be evaluated with the new roof.
Sometimes Tear-Off Is the Right Answer
Removing existing roofing allows the underlying deck to be evaluated directly and provides a clean start for the new roofing system.
Existing layers, deck condition and the overall roof assembly all affect the appropriate approach.
Do Not Decide From the Driveway
Whether existing roofing should be removed depends on more than age alone.
Mike evaluates the roof condition and project requirements before recommending how the replacement should be approached.
Choose the Roof That Fits the Property
Replacement is also the point where homeowners can compare roofing systems rather than simply replacing what was already there.
