What Is Included in a Roof Replacement Project?

A complete roof replacement project includes removal of the existing roofing material, inspection and repair of the roof deck, installation of new underlayment, installation of the new roofing material, replacement of flashing and pipe boots, installation of ridge cap, permit pulling and inspection coordination, and thorough cleanup. Ranger Roofing provides fully comprehensive roof replacements throughout Palm Beach County with no hidden costs.

Complete Scope of a Roof Replacement Project

When Ranger Roofing completes a roof replacement for a Palm Beach County homeowner or commercial property owner, the project encompasses every component of the roofing system from top to bottom. Here is a detailed breakdown of what is included:

1. Permit Pulling

Ranger Roofing pulls all required building permits from the Palm Beach County Building Division before any work begins. Permitted roof replacements protect homeowners legally, ensure work meets Florida Building Code, and provide a documented record for insurance and future property sales.

2. Old Roof Tear-Off

The existing roofing material is completely removed and disposed of. Florida Building Code generally requires full tear-off rather than roofing over existing material. All old tiles, shingles, underlayment, and flashing are removed and hauled away.

3. Roof Deck Inspection and Repair

With the old roofing removed, Ranger Roofing inspects the decking for damage, rot, or weakness. Damaged or deteriorated deck boards are replaced before the new roofing system is installed. This critical step ensures your new roof has a solid, stable foundation.

4. Underlayment Installation

New underlayment is installed as a water barrier between the deck and the outer roofing material. Florida Building Code requires specific underlayment systems for different roof types. For tile roofs, a self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment is required in most cases.

5. New Roofing Material Installation

The new roofing material — whether tile, shingles, or metal — is installed according to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code requirements, including wind mitigation fastening patterns required in Palm Beach County.

6. Flashing, Pipe Boots, and Accessories

All metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and roof edges is replaced with new, properly sealed flashing. Pipe boots and roof penetration seals are replaced with new units to prevent future leaks.

7. Final Inspection and Cleanup

Ranger Roofing conducts a thorough cleanup of the entire property including magnetic nail sweeping, removal of all debris, and a final quality inspection. The project is then inspected by the Palm Beach County building inspector to receive final permit approval.
