What Is Included in a Roof Replacement Project?

A complete roof replacement project in Palm Beach County includes removal and disposal of the existing roof system, inspection and repair of the roof deck, installation of new underlayment and ice and water shield as required, installation of new roofing materials, replacement of all flashings, pipe boots, vents, and accessories, pulling of required building permits, and final building inspection.

What Is Included in a Complete Roof Replacement?

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a quality roof replacement is more than just installing new shingles or tiles. A comprehensive roof replacement by Ranger Roofing in Palm Beach County includes multiple layers of the roofing system, ensuring your home is fully protected from Florida's demanding climate.

Tear-Off and Disposal

The first step in a roof replacement is the complete removal of all existing roofing materials down to the roof deck. This includes removing shingles or tiles, felt paper, and any existing flashings. Ranger Roofing disposes of all removed materials properly, leaving your Palm Beach County property clean and prepared for the new roof system.

Roof Deck Inspection and Repair

Once the old roofing is removed, our team inspects the entire roof deck — the plywood or OSB sheathing that forms the structural base of your roof. Any sections showing signs of rot, moisture damage, or structural compromise are replaced before the new roofing system is installed. This step is critical for ensuring your new roof has a sound foundation.

Underlayment Installation

Underlayment is a critical waterproofing layer installed between the roof deck and the primary roofing material. In Florida, the Florida Building Code requires specific underlayment systems for different roof types. Ranger Roofing installs Florida Product Approved underlayment systems including synthetic underlayment and peel-and-stick modified bitumen at critical areas like eaves and valleys.

New Roofing Material Installation

The primary roofing material — whether asphalt shingles, concrete tile, clay tile, or metal — is installed according to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code requirements. All materials are Florida Product Approved and rated for the wind speeds applicable to Palm Beach County's wind zone.

Flashing and Accessory Replacement

All metal flashings around chimneys, walls, pipes, vents, and skylights are replaced as part of a complete roof replacement. New pipe boots and vent covers are installed. Ridge vents or other ventilation systems are inspected and replaced as needed. These details are critical to preventing leaks and ensuring long-term performance.

Permits and Inspections

Ranger Roofing pulls all required building permits through Palm Beach County or the applicable municipality. After installation, a licensed building inspector inspects the roof to confirm it meets the Florida Building Code. Permitted work protects your investment and ensures compliance with insurance requirements.
