Invest in your home's future with a quality roof replacement. Premium materials, expert installation, and comprehensive warranties for lasting protection.
Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements. When your roof reaches the end of its useful life—typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles—replacement becomes not just necessary, but a smart investment in your property's future. A new roof protects your home from water damage, improves energy efficiency, enhances curb appeal, and provides peace of mind for decades to come.
At Donovan Roofing, we understand that replacing your roof is a significant decision, both financially and practically. That's why we're committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, from initial consultation through final inspection and cleanup.
Our roof replacement service isn't just about removing old shingles and installing new ones. It's a comprehensive process that includes thorough inspection of your roof deck, replacement of damaged deck boards, installation of premium underlayment, proper ventilation assessment and improvement, precision shingle installation, and complete cleanup and disposal. We treat every roof replacement as if it were our own home, ensuring the highest quality results that will protect your investment for years to come.
Every successful roof replacement begins with a thorough understanding of your needs and your roof's condition. We start with a complimentary on-site consultation where our experienced roofing specialists inspect your current roof, assess the condition of your deck, evaluate ventilation, and discuss your goals, preferences, and budget.
During this visit, we'll explain our findings in clear, straightforward language, show you any areas of concern with photos if needed, present material options that suit your home and budget, and provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees or surprises. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and learn about the roof replacement process, timeline, and what to expect.
Choosing the right roofing materials is crucial for both performance and aesthetics. We work with all major manufacturers and offer a wide range of options including architectural shingles in dozens of colors and styles, designer shingles for premium homes, metal roofing systems, and specialty products for unique applications.
We'll help you select materials that match your home's architectural style, meet your performance requirements, fit your budget, and qualify for the best manufacturer warranties. We'll also schedule your project to minimize disruption to your daily routine and coordinate delivery of all materials to ensure we have everything needed before work begins.
Installation day is when our experienced crew transforms your roof. We begin by protecting your property—covering landscaping, placing protective boards on driveways, and setting up magnetic sweepers to collect any dropped nails or metal debris. Our systematic approach ensures quality results and minimizes disruption to your home and neighborhood.
The installation process includes complete removal of old roofing materials down to the deck, thorough inspection and repair of the roof deck, installation of high-quality underlayment for added protection, installation of new drip edge and flashing, precise shingle installation following manufacturer specifications, installation of ridge ventilation if needed, and comprehensive cleanup with magnetic nail sweeps and debris removal. Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days, weather permitting.
Quality control is paramount at Donovan Roofing. Before we consider any project complete, our project manager conducts a thorough final inspection to ensure every detail meets our high standards. We walk the roof to verify proper installation, check all flashing and seals, ensure proper ventilation, inspect gutters and downspouts, and perform a comprehensive property cleanup check.
We then walk you through the completed project, answering any questions and explaining maintenance recommendations. You'll receive all warranty documentation, including both our workmanship warranty and manufacturer material warranties, care and maintenance guidelines, and information about our ongoing customer support. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're not done until you're completely happy with your new roof.
