How We Do Roof Replacement
At J Hempel Services, our roof replacement process is a systematic, client-focused, and safety-conscious operation, ensuring a smooth transition from your old roof to a robust and beautiful new system. We handle every detail with precision and care.
Comprehensive Assessment & New System Design
Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your existing roof's condition to confirm the need for replacement and identify any underlying structural issues. We then collaborate with you to select the ideal new roofing material (asphalt, metal, tile, etc.), color, and style that best suits your home's architecture, budget, and long-term performance goals. We also evaluate and plan for optimal ventilation.
Permitting & Site Protection
Once the new roofing system design is finalized, we efficiently manage all necessary local permitting and regulatory approvals, ensuring full compliance. Before commencing work, our team meticulously prepares and secures the job site, protecting your landscaping, exterior features, and ensuring a safe and organized environment for the tear-off and installation phases.
Old Roof Tear-Off & Decking Inspection
The first physical step involves the safe and thorough removal of all layers of your old roofing material, down to the roof decking. Once the old roof is stripped, we conduct a rigorous inspection of the underlying plywood or sheathing, identifying and repairing any areas of rot, damage, or weakness to ensure a perfectly sound and smooth foundation for your new roof.
Underlayment & New Roof System Installation
With a clean and solid base, we proceed with the installation of crucial underlayment components, including ice and water shields in vulnerable areas, and high-quality synthetic felts across the entire roof deck. Our certified installers then precisely apply your chosen new roofing material, meticulously securing each component, installing flashing, and ensuring proper ventilation and watertight seals.
Final Inspection, Cleanup & Warranty
The final stages involve bringing the interior to completion. This includes installing plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, followed by insulation, drywall, flooring, painting, and the installation of all fixtures and finishes. We pay close attention to every detail, ensuring the new space seamlessly integrates with your existing home's aesthetic and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
Deciding on a full roof replacement is a major decision, and it’s natural to have many questions. We’ve compiled some of the most common inquiries to help you understand the process and feel more confident about your investment. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to J Hempel Services directly.
How do I know if I need a full roof replacement vs. a repair? Signs you may need a replacement include widespread damage (e.g., sagging, multiple leaks, extensive missing shingles), your roof being past its expected lifespan (e.g., asphalt shingles over 20-25 years old), significant granule loss, or widespread curling/cracking of shingles. Our initial assessment can confirm if replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
How long does a roof replacement typically take? The duration of a roof replacement depends on your home’s size, roof complexity, and chosen material. A standard residential asphalt shingle roof can often be completed within 1 to 5 days. Larger homes or specialized materials like metal or tile may take longer. We provide a precise timeline in your project plan.
What happens to the old roof materials after tear-off? During the tear-off phase, all old roofing materials are carefully removed and contained. We utilize dumpsters or specialized debris removal systems to efficiently collect and dispose of all old materials responsibly, including recycling options where available. Our goal is to leave your property clean and tidy.
Will a new roof require new gutters? While not always strictly required, it’s often an ideal time to consider new gutters and downspouts during a roof replacement. New gutters can be perfectly aligned with your new roof, ensuring optimal water drainage and completing the exterior aesthetic. We can assess your current gutters and provide recommendations.
How much does a roof replacement cost? The cost of a roof replacement varies significantly based on factors like the size and pitch of your roof, the chosen material (e.g., asphalt, metal, tile), the complexity of the roofline, and any necessary decking repairs. We provide detailed, transparent, and accurate estimates after a thorough assessment of your specific project needs.
