Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Glenview, IL

This project was located in Glenview, IL. Here is a step by step process that we did to replace this old leaky roof.

The process for replacing an asphalt shingle roof typically involves the following steps:

Remove the old roof: The first step in replacing an asphalt shingle roof is to remove the old roof. This typically involves tearing off the old shingles, as well as any underlying layers, such as the roof underlayment and any felt paper.

Inspect the roof deck: Once the old roof has been removed, the roof deck should be inspected for any damage. Any rot or other damage should be repaired before the new roof is installed.

Install a new roof underlayment: A new roof underlayment, typically a layer of felt paper, is installed over the roof deck. This helps to protect the roof deck from moisture and helps to smooth out any imperfections.

Install new flashing: Flashing is metal or plastic sheeting that is used to seal around areas where the roof meets walls, chimneys, and other projections. New flashing should be installed around any areas where the old flashing has become damaged or is no longer effective.

Install the new shingles: The new asphalt shingles are then installed over the underlayment and flashing. The shingles are installed in rows, with each row overlapped by the row above it.

Install any additional features: Once the shingles are in place, any additional features, such as ridge caps or ventilation systems, should be installed. Clean up and dispose of debris: Finally, the work area should be cleaned up and any debris, such as old shingles and roofing materials, should be properly disposed of.

It's important to note that this is a general outline of the process for replacing an asphalt shingle roof, and the specific steps may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the project. It is recommended to hire a professional roofing contractor to handle the replacement of an asphalt shingle roof.
