How a roof replacement usually goes
Most roof replacements follow steps like these:
- Inspection. Look at the roof, the attic and the flashing to find what failed and whether repair or replacement makes sense.
- Choose the roof. Material, color and any upgrades such as a cool roof or solar-ready layout.
- Permit. Most re-roofs need one; check with your city or county building department.
- Tear-off. Remove the old roofing (tile is sometimes lifted and reused) down to the deck and replace any rotted or damaged sheathing.
- Install. Underlayment, flashing, vents and the new roofing.
- Clean-up and final inspection. Nails and debris cleared from the site; the building department signs off where a permit applies.
If a leak has already damaged ceilings or walls, see water damage repair.
Permits, fire ratings and roofing licenses: see roof repair or replacement.
What affects the cost of a roof
- The size and pitch of the roof, and how easy it is to reach.
- The material: asphalt shingles, tile, metal or a flat-roof system.
- How many old layers have to come off, and the condition of the deck underneath.
- Details such as skylights, chimneys, valleys and vents that need flashing.
- Upgrades such as cool-roof materials or preparation for solar.
After an on-site look you get a written estimate, so you can compare options before deciding.

Common questions
Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the roof’s age, how widespread the damage is and whether leaks keep returning. Isolated damage can often be repaired; widespread wear often points to replacement.
What are signs I need a new roof?
Common signs include repeated leaks, missing or curling shingles, sagging, and daylight or water stains in the attic.
Metal, tile or shingle: which roof is best?
Each has trade-offs in cost, weight, lifespan and look. Metal is light and durable, tile is heavy and long-lasting, and asphalt shingles cost less up front.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden damage, such as from a storm, is treated differently from wear and age. Check with your insurer.
What should I do if my roof leaks after a storm?
Protect the inside first: move belongings, catch water and photograph the damage. Then call for a repair. See damage & restoration if water got inside.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Roof replacements usually need a building permit. Check with your city or county building department.
How do I check that a contractor is licensed?
Look up the license number on the Contractors State License Board website, which shows whether a license is active and what it covers. JD Green Construction’s California license number is 1045554.
