Residential Roof Replacement

In most cases, you do not need to be home during the roof replacement. We only require access to the back and side yards to clean upon completion of the roof. If your home has any exceptions, we will inform you prior to installation.

An impact-resistant shingle is a thicker, heavier shingle designed to hold up to hailstone impacts. It is meant to minimize damages caused by severe weather, providing your home with better protection.

It is also a type of Class IV roofing material that will qualify for a discount on your homeowner’s insurance premiums.

A Class IV roof is one of many roofing materials that have been designated by Underwriters Laboratories, under UL2218, as an impact-resistant material. The roofing materials will qualify for discounts on homeowner’s insurance premiums.

Be aware that some discounts will come with clauses or waivers that prohibit replacement for cosmetic damage. For example, a metal roof with hail damage will likely not be replaced if it has not been penetrated.

Ice and water shield is a self-adhered waterproof membrane. It was developed to fight ice damming and wind-driven rain. Therefore, it is commonly used up north on the eaves of the roof to protect damages from ice build-up. Baker Roofing & Construction uses ice & water shield on every roof replacement with valleys, chimneys or skylights. The use of ice & water shield in leak-prone areas of the roof increase protection from water damages in the most severe weather.

Without a doubt, synthetic underlayment is far superior to roofing felt paper. Roofing felt will begin to breakdown and get brittle over the years. In high winds, shingles can be blown off the roof in patches, and often the roofing felt paper goes with it, leaving the exposed decking vulnerable to roof leaks. However, synthetic will not become brittle enough to tear off with the shingles better protecting your home from roof leaks.

Properly installed synthetic underlayment can last for 25 years or more. It far outlasts the traditionally used felt paper.

Synthetic underlayment is a woven material that is water-resistant. It is used in place of outdated roofing felt paper. It provides a durable base protection layer for your roof replacement.
