Replacement
A new roof after hail—or when the old one is finished
Hail can bruise shingles across the whole roof in minutes. When that happens, swapping a few shingles will not make the roof weather-tight again. We inspect, explain what we found, and give you a written replacement estimate before anyone starts. Your insurance company decides what they pay.
In short
What is roof replacement?
Choose replacement when hail, wind, or age has worn out most of the roof—not just one corner. We inspect, explain repair versus replace, and give a written estimate. Your insurance company decides coverage.
When this is the right job
Choose replacement when hail, wind, or age has worn out most of the roof—not just one corner. A few missing shingles after wind can still be a repair.
How it works
Step 1
We inspect the roof
We look at shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and any soft spots we can reach. You do not need to climb up.
Step 2
We tell you repair or replace
A handful of hits can stay a repair. Bruises, bald spots, or cracked shingles on several sides of the house usually mean a new roof. We write that down so you can see the difference.
Step 3
You get a written estimate
The estimate lists materials, what is included, a timeline, and how we handle rotted decking if we find it after tear-off. You review it before anything is authorized.
Step 4
We install and walk the job with you
Old roofing comes off. New underlayment, flashing, and shingles go on as written. We walk the finished roof with you and leave the warranty in writing.
What we look at
- How old the roof is and how much life is left
- Leaks that come back in ordinary rain, not only after storms
- Hail bruises, missing granules, and cracked shingles on more than one side
- Flashing, valleys, and pipes through the roof
- Soft spots, sagging, or daylight in the attic
- Gutters and edge metal that should be reset with a new roof
What changes the price
The estimate is for your roof, not a neighborhood average. These things usually change the number:
- Roof size, steepness, stories, and how hard it is to reach
- The shingle or other product you choose
- How many old layers we tear off and haul away
- Decking we have to replace after tear-off
- Flashing, vents, and drip edge
- Weather and material lead times
Roof replacement by city
Each city page talks about that market—not the same paragraph with a different city name.
Roof replacement in Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and North Carolina
We schedule this from Eden Prairie, Naperville, Chesterfield, Wichita, and Charlotte. The weather is not the same in each market—hail is more common in Sedgwick County, ice at the eaves is more common in the Twin Cities, and Charlotte thunderstorms lift tabs more often than they bruise a whole roof. The written estimate is for your house, not a state average.

How do I know if hail means a new roof?
- We compare how much of the roof was hit with how much life the shingles still have. Isolated bruises or a few missing shingles may be a repair. Damage across most of the roof, or a roof that was already worn out, usually means replacement. Your insurance company still decides coverage.
How long does roof replacement take?
- Many house roofs finish in one to a few working days. Size, pitch, weather, materials, and hidden decking repairs can change that. The estimate includes a timeline for your house.
Will you replace all the wood under the shingles?
- Only what is damaged. We check the deck after the old roof comes off and follow the written estimate—and any change you approve—if we find more.

Hail that bruises or cracks shingles across most of the roof usually means replacement, not three new shingles. Isolated hits on a sound roof can stay a repair. We inspect and write the estimate. Your insurance company decides what they pay. Full topic.

More on repair versus replacement
Repair fits when the failure is isolated and the rest of the roof still has life. Replacement fits when wear or storm damage covers several slopes, leaks keep returning, or the deck is involved. The inspection answers that before anyone writes a contract. Full topic.

More on roofing materials
Architectural asphalt is the usual steep-slope covering in our markets. Metal and tile can fit some houses. The right product depends on structure, climate, budget, and rules—not a single “best roof.” The written estimate names the line and the warranty that apply to that job. Full topic.
