A full roof replacement project in Palm Beach County, Florida includes a professional inspection, permit application, complete tear-off of the existing roofing system, inspection and repair of the roof deck, installation of Florida Building Code-compliant underlayment, installation of new roofing materials, flashing replacement, ridge cap installation, debris removal, and a final building inspection. Ranger Roofing manages every step of this process on behalf of homeowners throughout Palm Beach County.
Everything Included in a Complete Roof Replacement
Pre-Project Roof Inspection: Assessment of existing conditions, identification of decking damage, and documentation for insurance if applicable.
Building Permit: Ranger Roofing applies for and manages all required permits from the local building department.
Tear-Off: Complete removal of existing tiles, shingles, or other roofing material and old underlayment.

Flashing Replacement: All flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof transitions are replaced with new corrosion-resistant material.
Ridge Cap and Hip Installation: Proper ridge and hip treatments are installed for both weather protection and finished appearance.
Debris Removal and Cleanup: All old roofing material, packaging waste, and job site debris are removed. A magnetic nail sweep is conducted.
Final Building Inspection: Ranger Roofing coordinates the final inspection with the local building department to close out the permit.
Warranty Documentation: Manufacturer and workmanship warranties are provided to the homeowner at project completion.
What Is NOT Included in Standard Roof Replacement
Standard roof replacement typically does not include gutter replacement, fascia board replacement, solar panel removal and reinstallation, or extensive structural repairs to the roof framing. Ranger Roofing will identify any additional scope items during the initial inspection and include them in your estimate so there are no surprises.
