ROOFING SYSTEM
Asphalt Shingles
Roof Preparation
Preparing the Roof Deck for New Shingles
After the existing roofing was removed, the exposed wood roof deck provided a clean surface for the next stages of the roof replacement. Proper preparation at this stage helps establish the foundation for the underlayment and new asphalt shingle system installed above.
Scope of Work
A Complete Asphalt Roof Replacement Process
Existing Roof Tear-Off
Existing roofing materials were removed to expose the underlying roof deck and prepare the surface for replacement.
Roof Deck Preparation
The exposed wood deck was prepared for the protective roofing layers installed above it.
Roofing Underlayment
Underlayment was installed across the prepared roof deck before the new shingles were applied.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
New asphalt shingles were installed across the roof sections to create the new exterior roofing surface.
Installation Process
From Tear-Off to New Asphalt Shingles
The project progressed section by section, moving from exposed roof decking and underlayment to new asphalt shingle installation. These construction views show the preparation beneath the roofing system as well as the new shingles taking shape across the home.

Asphalt Roof Replacement FAQs
Questions About Residential Roof Replacement
Replacing an asphalt roof involves more than installing new shingles. Here are answers to common questions about tear-off, roof preparation, underlayment, and residential roof replacement.
What is included in an asphalt roof replacement?
An asphalt roof replacement typically involves removing the existing roofing, evaluating and preparing the roof deck, installing the appropriate roofing layers, and installing new asphalt shingles. The exact scope depends on the condition and construction of the existing roof.
Does the old roof need to be removed before new shingles are installed?
The appropriate approach depends on the existing roofing system and roof conditions. A full tear-off allows the underlying roof deck to be exposed and evaluated before the new roofing system is installed.
What is installed underneath asphalt shingles?
A residential asphalt roofing system typically includes protective roofing materials between the wood roof deck and the shingles. The exact underlayment and associated components depend on the roof and installation requirements.
What happens if damaged roof decking is found during replacement?
Once the existing roofing is removed, the roof deck can be evaluated for conditions that may need to be addressed before the new roofing system is installed. Any necessary work depends on what is found during the project.
How do I know if I need roof repair or full roof replacement?
The condition and age of the roofing, extent of damage, leak history, and overall roof system should be evaluated. Clough Construction can inspect the roof and recommend whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate option.
