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 and moisture barriers, installation of the new roofing system, replacement of all flashings and ridge components, thorough site cleanup, and a final inspection to ensure compliance with Florida Building Code. Ranger Roofing provides a comprehensive written scope of work before every project so Palm Beach County homeowners know exactly what is included.

Complete Breakdown of What's Included in Roof Replacement

1. Tear-Off and Disposal

All existing roofing material is completely removed down to the roof deck. This includes tiles or shingles, old underlayment, and all fasteners. Debris is hauled off the property and disposed of properly, leaving your home clean.

2. Deck Inspection and Repair

Once the old roofing is removed, Ranger Roofing inspects every section of the roof deck (sheathing) for rot, moisture damage, or structural weakness. Damaged sections are replaced with new plywood or OSB decking before any new roofing is installed.

3. Underlayment and Water Barrier Installation

Florida Building Code requires specific types of underlayment for roofing systems. For tile roofs, a double layer of 30-lb. felt or self-adhering synthetic underlayment is required. Ice and water shields are installed in valleys and around all penetrations for additional leak protection.

4. Roofing System Installation

The new roofing material — whether tile, shingles, or metal — is installed according to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code wind uplift requirements. All fastening patterns are engineered to meet local wind speed requirements for Palm Beach County.

5. Flashing and Penetration Sealing

All metal flashings around chimneys, walls, skylights, and roof penetrations are replaced or resealed. Ridge caps and hip covers are installed. Proper flashing is one of the most critical components of a watertight roof system.

6. Cleanup and Final Walk-Through

Ranger Roofing performs a full site cleanup including magnetic nail sweeping of the lawn and driveway, haul-away of all debris, and a comprehensive quality inspection. Our project manager walks the property with the homeowner to ensure complete satisfaction before the job is closed out.

7. Permit and Final Inspection

Ranger Roofing pulls all required permits and coordinates the county or city final inspection to ensure your new roof is fully code-compliant. This is essential for insurance purposes and future home sales.
