Roof replacement means stripping the old roofing material down to the deck (or in some cases overlaying it), repairing or replacing damaged decking, installing new underlayment and flashing, and laying new shingles, metal, or tile. It's a bigger job than a repair or a re-roof over existing layers, and it's usually what's needed once a roof is past patching, whether that's from age, storm damage, or widespread leaks. We list 7 roof replacement contractors serving Blue Ridge on this page.
Before you sign a contract, look for a few basics: a current license and insurance (both liability and workers' comp), a written estimate that breaks out tear-off, materials, disposal, and labor separately, a manufacturer certification if you're after a strong shingle warranty, and a clear timeline with a start and finish date. Ask how they handle decking repairs that turn up mid-job, since that's the most common source of surprise charges. A contractor who explains ventilation and flashing details unprompted is usually more careful than one who just quotes a square footage price.
