What Asphalt Shingle Replacement Includes

Asphalt shingle roof replacement means taking everything off down to the deck and starting fresh. You're not patching over problems or hoping old materials hold up underneath.

You're getting a complete system that protects your home from weather, handles the freeze-thaw cycles we see across Michigan and Ohio, and comes with warranties that actually matter.

Here's what happens during an asphalt roof replacement:

Tear-off and disposal — The crew removes every old shingle, all the way down to the wood deck. This shows us what's really going on up there. Soft spots, rot, or structural issues become obvious once the old material is gone. If we find damage, we fix it before new shingles go on. No shortcuts.

Deck inspection and repairs — Your roof deck is the foundation for everything else. If the plywood or boards are compromised, shingles won't hold. We replace damaged sections so you have solid backing across the entire roof.

Ice and water barrier — This goes along the edges, valleys, and anywhere water tends to collect. It's a sticky membrane that stops leaks even if water gets under the shingles during heavy rain or ice dams. Required by code in cold climates, but we'd install it anyway because it works.

Underlayment — A water-resistant layer that covers the whole deck before shingles go on. Think of it as a backup system. If wind ever lifts a shingle or hail punches through, the underlayment is still there protecting the wood.

Shingle installation — Starting at the bottom edge and working up, each architectural shingle gets nailed in place following the manufacturer's specs. Proper spacing, alignment, and fastener placement matter here. Rushed installs show up later as leaks or blow-offs.

Ventilation check — Attic airflow affects how long your roof lasts. Too much heat buildup from poor ventilation shortens shingle life. We make sure intake and exhaust vents are clear and working properly.

Complete cleanup — Daily magnet sweeps pick up loose nails. Debris gets hauled away same-day or next morning. Your yard shouldn't look like a construction zone when we're done.

That's the process for every asphalt shingle replacement we do. Same steps whether it's a ranch in Canton or a two-story colonial in Toledo. The goal is a roof that performs well and lasts as long as the warranty says it will.

When Does Asphalt Shingle Replacement Make Sense?

Sometimes a roof just needs a repair—a few damaged shingles replaced, a flashing issue fixed. Other times, you're better off replacing the whole thing. Here's when replacement makes more sense than patching problems one at a time.

Signs that indicate full replacement:

Curling or buckling shingles across multiple areas — …repairs don't solve the underlying issue.

Granule loss showing in gutters — …the shingle material itself starts degrading fast.

Leaks in multiple rooms or areas — …that's usually a sign the whole roof is compromised.

Age of the roof (20+ years) — …you're still looking at replacement somewhere in that range.

Widespread storm damage — …replacement is usually the right call.

Failed previous repairs that keep recurring — …trying to extend an old roof's life costs more than replacing it.

What Asphalt Shingle Options Are Available?

Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles—sometimes called dimensional or laminate shingles—are thicker than the old flat 3-tab style. The extra thickness gives you better wind resistance and longer warranties (often 30 to 50 years).

We install Atlas architectural shingles across asphalt projects. The dimensional look adds curb appeal, the performance holds up over decades, and the warranty coverage gives real protection.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

Impact-resistant shingles meet a Class 4 impact rating—the highest available. They handle hail better than standard shingles and may qualify for insurance discounts.

Color Range and Heat Considerations

Dark tones create strong contrast; mid-tones blend; light tones reflect more heat. Ventilation still matters with dark colors.
