Re-Roofing vs. Full Roof Replacement

Re-roofing typically means installing a new layer of shingles over an existing, structurally sound layer. A full roof replacement involves tearing off all existing material before the new roof goes on. The overlay approach can cost less and take less time when your decking is in good shape. It is not suitable for every home, however, and a proper inspection will determine which route makes sense for your property.

What Does the Process Look Like?

This type of project moves through clear, predictable steps. Here is what most Platteville homeowners can expect when they work with a re-roofing company like Independent Roofing:

1. Free on-site inspection to assess your current roof's condition and document any hail or wind damage.
2. Material selection from options that include dimensional shingles, high-wind-rated shingles, and metal, all suited to Northern Colorado's storm climate.
3. Permit coordination with the Town of Platteville through SAFEBuilt, the third-party building services provider that reviews applications and conducts inspections on behalf of the Town.
4. Installation by experienced crews, typically completed in one to two days for a standard residential roof.
5. Final walkthrough and cleanup, leaving your property ready for an inspection.
   

Weld County Permits and Local Considerations
