What Is Included in a Roof Replacement Project?

A full roof replacement project includes complete removal of existing roofing materials, inspection and repair of the roof deck, installation of new high-performance underlayment, installation of new roofing materials (tile, shingle, or metal), installation of new flashing at all penetrations, ridge cap installation, and thorough cleanup of the property. In Palm Beach County, Ranger Roofing handles every aspect of the roof replacement process from permit application to final inspection.

Everything Included in a Ranger Roofing Replacement Project

1. Permit Application and Approval

Every roof replacement in Palm Beach County requires a permit. Ranger Roofing handles the entire permit application process, submits required documentation, and ensures your project is fully permitted before work begins. We also schedule and pass all required municipal inspections.

2. Complete Tear-Off of Existing Roofing

All existing tiles, shingles, or other roofing materials are removed, along with the old underlayment and any damaged flashings. All debris is hauled off the property and disposed of properly.

3. Roof Deck Inspection and Repair

After tear-off, the roof deck (typically plywood or OSB) is inspected for rot, moisture damage, or structural issues. Any damaged sections are replaced with new material before the new roofing system is installed. Ranger Roofing includes standard deck repair in our replacement process.

4. High-Performance Underlayment Installation

Florida Building Code requires a self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment (commonly called peel-and-stick) to be installed over the entire roof deck. This waterproof barrier provides critical protection if tiles or shingles are displaced during a storm. Ranger Roofing uses only code-compliant, high-performance underlayment systems on all projects.

5. New Roofing Material Installation

The selected roofing material — concrete tile, clay tile, architectural shingles, impact-resistant shingles, or metal roofing — is installed according to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code requirements. All fastening patterns, overlaps, and installation methods are followed precisely to ensure maximum wind resistance.

6. Flashing Installation at All Penetrations

New metal flashing is installed at all roof penetrations including chimneys, plumbing vents, HVAC equipment, and skylights. Valley flashing, drip edge, and step flashing are also installed to properly direct water off the roof. Quality flashing installation is essential for preventing leaks at these vulnerable areas.

7. Ridge Cap and Hip Installation

Ridge caps and hip tiles or shingles are installed along all ridge lines and hip edges of the roof. These components provide weather protection at the highest points of the roof and complete the finished appearance of the roofing system.

8. Property Cleanup and Final Inspection

After installation is complete, Ranger Roofing performs a thorough cleanup of all debris, performs a magnetic nail sweep to collect stray fasteners, and removes all equipment from the property. A final quality inspection is performed before the project is considered complete.
