Re-Roofing Bothwell

Roofline Glasgow provides a re-roofing service to the Bothwell area.

If you're a homeowner, there's a good chance that you'll need to have your roof replaced at some point. Roofs don't last forever and depending on the type of roof you have, you may need to replace it every 20-30 years. So, what happens when you need your roof replaced? Let's take a look at the process of re-roofing your home.

The first step is to call a roofing contractor and schedule an inspection. During the inspection, the contractor will assess the condition of your roof and determine whether or not it needs to be replaced. If they determine that your roof does need to be replaced, they'll provide you with a quote for the work.

Once you've accepted the quote and scheduled a date for the work to be done, the contractor will begin by removing the old roof. This process can vary depending on the type of roof you have, but in most cases, the old shingles will be pulled up and thrown away. Once the old roof is removed, any damaged plywood will be replaced and new flashing will be installed around any areas where water could potentially leak through (e.g. around skylights, chimneys, etc.).

After the preparations are complete, new shingles will be installed. Once again, the exact process will vary depending on the type of shingle you've chosen, but in most cases, new shingles will be laid down in rows from bottom to top. After all of the new shingles are in place, any necessary ridge vents or drip edges will be installed and then sealed with caulk or tar.

And that's it! Once the work is done, you'll have a brand new roof that should last you for 20-30 years. So if you need a new roof, don't hesitate to contact us and get started on the process today!
