Roof Replacement in Clarkston

A roof is not just shingles. It is a stack of layers that each do one job, and a replacement only works when every one of them is done right. So here is the plain version. First the old shingles, nails and underlayment come off, all the way down to the wooden deck. Then the deck gets checked board by board. Soft, delaminated or rotted sheets are cut out and replaced, and you see photos of them before that happens. Next comes the drip edge along the eaves and rakes, self-sealing ice and water membrane through every valley and at each pipe, and synthetic underlayment across the rest. New pipe boots. New step and wall flashing. Vents set so air can move in at the eaves and out near the ridge. Only then do the shingles go on, nailed where the manufacturer says to nail them, finished with matched hip and ridge caps. In Clarkston that work often happens under heavy tree cover, so we take extra care protecting beds and clearing gutters on the way out. At the end, the yard is swept with a magnet, scrap is hauled off and we walk the house with you. Nothing about it is mysterious. It just has to be done in order, without shortcuts.
