Your roof does more than keep out the rain—it protects everything you value inside your home. When the time comes for a roof replacement, most homeowners wonder, “What is included in roof replacement?” At Puyallup Roofing, we believe you deserve clear answers and complete confidence in the process. From inspection to final cleanup, every step matters. Let’s walk you through the full breakdown so you know exactly what to expect when investing in a new roof that stands the test of time.

Roof Inspection: First Step to a Strong Foundation

Before starting any roof replacement, a professional roof inspection is essential. Puyallup Roofing begins every project by examining the current condition of your roof, identifying leaks, water damage, or weakened areas of roof decking. This step ensures that nothing is overlooked and that the installation process starts on a solid foundation. A detailed inspection also helps provide an accurate estimate and helps homeowners understand the costs and scope of the project ahead.

Planning and Estimate: Mapping Out the Roof Replacement

Proper planning can make all the difference in a successful roof installation. Once the inspection is complete, Puyallup Roofing provides a detailed proposal outlining what’s included in your roof replacement—from materials to labor. We discuss roofing materials, color options, shingles, ventilation systems, and warranties. Transparency is key, so you’ll know every step, every cost, and every product going into your property’s new roof.

Removing Old Shingles and Materials

Before installing new roofing materials, the old shingles and underlayment must be removed. Puyallup Roofing handles this carefully to avoid damaging the underlying roof deck. This process helps uncover any hidden damage—such as soft spots or rotted decking—that may need roof repairs before moving forward. Removing old materials also ensures a clean, even surface for the new installation to adhere properly, giving your roof long-term durability.

Inspecting and Repairing the Roof Decking

One of the most critical parts of what is included in roof replacement is addressing the roof decking—the base that supports everything above it. The roofing contractors at Puyallup Roofing check for water damage, mold, or rot that could weaken the structure. If necessary, we replace compromised sections to create a sturdy, smooth deck for your new roof installation. Skipping this step could lead to future leaks or uneven surfaces, so it’s something Puyallup Roofing never overlooks.

Underlayment and Water Barrier Installation

Once the roof deck is secure, a high-quality underlayment and water barrier are added. This layer provides additional protection against moisture and wind. At Puyallup Roofing, we use premium roofing materials designed to prevent leaks and improve ventilation systems, keeping your attic cool and your energy bills low. This part of the installation process ensures your home stays dry and comfortable, no matter the weather outside.

Installing the Shingles: The Visible Layer of Protection

The shingles are what most homeowners think of when they imagine a roof replacement—and for good reason. They are your roof’s first line of defense against rain, sun, and debris. Whether you choose asphalt, architectural, or specialty roofing materials, Puyallup Roofing installs them with precision and care. Proper alignment, nailing, and sealing make all the difference in longevity and appearance. We guide each homeowner through style and material options to ensure a perfect match for their property.

Adding Ventilation Systems and Flashing

A well-installed roof doesn’t just protect—it breathes. Proper ventilation systems prevent heat buildup and moisture damage. Puyallup Roofing ensures every roof installation includes ridge vents, soffit vents, or other appropriate solutions for your home’s design. Alongside ventilation, we install flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys to channel water away from vulnerable areas. These details might be small, but they make a big difference in extending your roof’s lifespan.

Final Roof Inspection and Quality Check

Before wrapping up the project, Puyallup Roofing performs a thorough roof inspection to confirm that every component meets our high standards. We check shingles, flashing, ventilation systems, and decking for perfect alignment and secure installation. Our contractors also ensure that the job site is clean and safe, leaving your property spotless. You’ll receive full documentation of the work performed and details about your warranty coverage.

Clean-Up and Waste Removal

A roof replacement is a big job—but you shouldn’t have to deal with the mess afterward. Puyallup Roofing includes full cleanup and waste removal as part of what’s included in every roof replacement. From nails to old materials, we ensure your yard, driveway, and gutters are spotless. We respect your property as if it were our own and take pride in leaving it even better than we found it.
