Tear-off to bare deck
Everything comes off — old covering, old underlayment, old flashing. Nothing is laid over an existing roof, because a layover hides the one surface worth looking at.
Roof Replacement in Lindenwold, NJ
Everything strips back to bare boards, the deck is photographed while it is open, and the number you are given is built from quantities you can count rather than one figure at the foot of a page.

The short version
A replacement is the largest exterior job most houses ever get, and the part that worries people is not the shingles — it is what turns up underneath them. Our answer is to photograph the deck the moment it is exposed and price any board replacement by the sheet, at a rate written into the original estimate. The sum can move. The rate cannot.
What is covered
What the job covers
The deck photographed before it is covered
Every sheet of decking is walked and photographed while it is open. Soft boards, old repairs and anything that has been wet get recorded before new underlayment goes down.
New flashing, not reused flashing
Step flashing at the chimney and the wall lines, new pipe boots, new drip edge and a new starter course. Reusing old flashing is the cheapest corner in the trade and the most common source of a leak on a new roof.
Ventilation checked while it is open
A replacement is the only chance to correct intake and exhaust without extra work. If the attic is not breathing properly, we photograph why and say so.
Worth knowing
What moves the price
Three things, in order of how often they come up: the amount of decking that has to be replaced, the number of penetrations and wall junctions a roof has, and the pitch and access, which decide how long the staging takes. All three are visible on the survey photographs before you commit to anything.
