An aging or severely weather-damaged roof is a liability. Our full roof replacement service is designed to be as clean, fast, and stress-free for the homeowner as possible. We don't just overlay new shingles; we perform complete tear-offs to expose the underlying roof deck, ensuring structural stability before applying new layers.
During the replacement process, we deploy our Property Safeguard System, using protective catch-nets and shielding to protect your gardens, landscaping, siding, and vehicles from falling debris. Our crews run heavy-duty magnetic sweeps multiple times a day to clear all stray nails.
Once the deck is prepped, we install high-grade synthetic underlayment, rubberized self-healing ice and water shields in critical leak-prone valleys, and premium shingles or metal panels. All replacements come backed by our industry-leading workmanship warranty.
Keep an eye out for these crucial signs to prevent minor issues from turning into major structural damage.
Storm damage or leak? Speak directly to our field dispatch team for rapid assistance.
Call (479) 652-1424Clear signs include widespread shingle curling, cupping, or splitting; extensive loss of mineral granules leaving bald spots; multiple active leaks in your ceiling or attic; wind blow-offs that have exposed large sections of decking; and a roof that is over 15 to 20 years old. If shingles are failing across multiple sections, repairing them individually is no longer cost-effective, and replacement is required.
Most standard residential roof replacements are completed in just 1 to 2 workdays. Our crews arrive early, strip the old shingles, inspect and repair any rotted wood decking, install new synthetic underlayment, apply the new shingles or metal panels, and perform a complete magnetic cleanup of your property before leaving.
Yes, if your roof replacement is required due to sudden storm events, such as wind storm blow-offs or hail fractures, the cost is typically covered by standard homeowner's insurance policies. We assist River Valley and NWA clients by compiling photographic proof of damage and detailed line-item estimates, and we meet your adjuster on-site to ensure all storm damage is documented.
We never reuse old felt. During a roof replacement, we tear off all old shingles and felt down to the bare wood decking. This allows us to inspect the decking for dry rot or structural damage and replace compromised boards. We then install premium synthetic underlayment, which offers vastly superior tear strength and water resistance compared to traditional felt paper.
Re-roofing, or an overlay, involves installing new shingles directly over your existing shingle layer without tearing it off. While some building codes allow a two-layer roof, we do not recommend this. An overlay prevents us from inspecting the decking for rot, traps moisture, adds excessive weight, shortens the lifespan of the new shingles, and often voids manufacturer warranties.
We provide dual warranty protection on replacements. You receive a manufacturer's material warranty (often a lifetime warranty on premium shingles) and our dedicated workmanship warranty covering the installation. As certified contractors for major brands, we can also offer extended systems warranties that cover both materials and labor for up to 50 years.
We enforce strict property protection protocols. Before tearing off any shingles, we cover your lawns, gardens, decks, and windows with heavy-duty tarps. We also use specialized plywood shields to protect AC units. Our crews perform a thorough daily cleanup, including multiple magnetic sweeps of your lawn, driveway, and flower beds to capture all nails.
Yes, transitioning from shingles to a metal roof is very common during a replacement. Standing seam metal roofs offer superior wind resistance, a modern look, and a 50+ year lifespan. Our team will inspect your roof's framing to ensure it can support the metal system, and we will custom-fabricate the panels on-site for a perfect fit.
Cost factors include the total square footage of your roof, its pitch and complexity (gables, valleys, chimneys), the chosen material (standard shingles, impact-resistant shingles, or metal), the number of rotted decking boards that need to be replaced, and accessibility for our trucks and crew. We provide detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees.
Yes, we offer flexible financing options for residential roof replacements. This includes low-monthly-payment plans and short-term interest-free options. Financing can bridge the gap while waiting for insurance payouts or make a premium upgrade affordable. Contact us to learn about our financing packages and get pre-approved.
