Replacing Your Roof? Expect “Moore” with Our Expert Services

As a Grand Rapids area homeowner, you understand the realities of changing Michigan seasons. Harsh winters give way to sweltering summers. These climatic extremes can cause your roof to age prematurely or suffer other performance-related issues. In many instances, replacing your roof becomes necessary. When that time arrives, look no further than the residential roof replacement experts at Moore & Sons Roofing. We are this region’s preferred local roofer.

Why Roof Replacement Becomes Necessary

Here are five timely reasons why you may need a new roof:

Aging Roof

All roofing systems have a shelf life. When the expiration date is reached, a roof replacement becomes necessary. Michigan weather conditions can be incredibly challenging for roofing systems. Shingles, flashing, sublayers, and other components eventually break down due to excess wear and tear, demanding a roof replacement. As a responsible and budget-conscious homeowner, you will want to plan ahead (by several years) for this eventuality.

“Hidden” Issues

An uneven roof may suggest structural problems. Additionally, interior water or mold damage often results from an underlying problem.

Energy Inefficiency

Have you noticed a sudden or persistent spike in your heating and cooling consumption? This issue is often associated with an aging roof lacking sufficient insulation or ventilation. A new energy-efficient roof resolves this problem.

Storm Damage

Homeowners may be tempted to ignore roof damage following a storm or delay a resolution, hoping for the best. Avoid this. Consult a reputable roofing company to discuss whether a roof replacement makes sense.

Aesthetically Unappealing

Are you considering selling your home in the next 1-3 years? Does the style or color of your roof lack curb appeal? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, a roof replacement may be the ideal solution to your dilemma.

What To Expect During Roof Replacement

The residential roof replacement process typically requires a few weeks from initial consultation through to final inspection. The actual removal and replacement of an asphalt shingle roofing system commonly takes approximately 1 to 3 days.

As an initial step, the roofing company will evaluate the existing roof to determine if it necessitates replacement. Additionally, the professional will facilitate a thorough assessment of the entire roofing system to understand the scope of any project.

The roofer will meet with the homeowner to describe the situation, including the roof’s condition and recommendations for next steps. If the parties move forward, the homeowner will select a new roofing product, and the professional will prepare a budget and timeline.

A reputable roofing contractor will demolish the current roof and dispose of it responsibly. The professional will thoroughly inspect the sublayers, including the underlayment, flashing, and decking, and make repairs or replacements before attaching the new roof.

Installing the new roof begins with attaching the starter shingles, followed by the shingles, and finally, the hip and ridge shingles. If new or replacement vents are necessary, they are also added.

A trustworthy roofing company will thoroughly clean the property to remove all debris and make it look as good as new. The final inspection will ensure full compliance with the local municipal building code. Lastly, the homeowner pays any remaining amount owed.
