Roof replacement in Hatboro: step by step
We look at the roof and the attic and take photos. You get a written plan and price that lists the material, the layers that come off, and the flashing and vents that go on.
On work day, the yard is covered and the old roof comes off down to the wood. Bad boards are swapped. Then underlayment, ice barrier at the edges and valleys, new flashing, vents, and the new roof go on.
At the end, the crew sweeps for nails with magnets and walks the job with you.
Why tear off old layers?
Putting new shingles over old ones hides rot and soft spots, adds weight, and can shorten the new roof's life. A full tear-off lets the crew see and fix the wood that holds every nail.
Metal roofing in Hatboro
Standing seam metal has raised seams that lock panels together, with hidden fasteners. It sheds rain and snow fast and works on lower slopes where shingles struggle.
Many homeowners start with metal on a porch or a low back roof. Others pick it for the whole house. Metal comes in many colors and pairs well with shingle main roofs.
Metal needs the right underlayment, trim, and snow guards in some spots. Ask about the panel type and how seams are sealed.
Shingle or metal: how to choose
Architectural shingles are the most common choice and fit most homes. Metal often lasts longer and handles low slopes better. Think about your roof's slope, the look you want, and how long you plan to stay.
We will show you both and help you pick what fits your home.
