What Is Included in a Roof Replacement Project?

A complete roof replacement in Palm Beach County includes the removal and disposal of your existing roofing system, installation of new underlayment meeting Florida Building Code standards, installation of new roofing material (tile, shingle, or metal), replacement of all flashing and drip edge, installation of new ridge caps and vents, permit pulling and final building inspection, and a thorough site cleanup. Ranger Roofing provides all of these components in every roof replacement project.

Everything Included in a Ranger Roofing Replacement Project

When Palm Beach County homeowners invest in a roof replacement, they deserve to know exactly what they are getting. Ranger Roofing believes in complete transparency — every component of your replacement project is clearly itemized in our written proposals so there are no surprises.

Tear-Off and Disposal

The first step is the complete removal of your existing roofing system, including all tiles or shingles, underlayment, and old flashing. Ranger Roofing uses large container dumpsters positioned at your property to collect all debris during the tear-off. All waste materials are properly disposed of in compliance with Palm Beach County regulations.

Deck Inspection and Repair

After tear-off, our crew inspects the entire roof deck for rot, damage, or areas that need reinforcement. Florida's humidity makes deck rot more common here than in drier climates. Any damaged deck sections are replaced with new plywood or OSB before proceeding with installation.

Florida Building Code Underlayment Installation

Florida's building code requires specific underlayment systems depending on the roofing material and wind zone. Ranger Roofing installs high-quality synthetic or self-adhering underlayment systems that meet or exceed Florida Building Code requirements, providing a critical secondary water barrier beneath your new roofing material.

New Roofing Material Installation

The primary roofing material — concrete tile, clay tile, asphalt shingles, or metal panels — is installed according to manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code requirements. All fastening patterns, adhesive applications, and installation details follow the specific requirements for Palm Beach County's wind zone.

Flashing, Ridge Caps, and Accessories

All flashing around penetrations (chimneys, skylights, pipes, vents) is replaced with new metal flashing. Ridge caps, hip caps, rakes, and drip edge are all installed new. Proper flashing installation is critical in South Florida, where it is one of the most common points of failure during hurricane events.

Permits, Inspections, and Warranty Documentation

Ranger Roofing pulls all required Palm Beach County building permits, schedules and coordinates the final building inspection, and provides you with complete warranty documentation including the manufacturer's material warranty and Ranger Roofing's workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does roof replacement include removing the old roof?

A: Yes. Ranger Roofing's complete roof replacement includes full tear-off and disposal of the existing roofing system. We do not install new materials over old without thorough evaluation, as this can hide underlying damage and void manufacturer warranties.

Q: Is flashing replacement included in the project?

A: Yes. All flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other penetrations is replaced as part of a complete roof replacement. Reusing old flashing compromises the integrity of the new installation.
