Shingle reroof / project photos

From exposed decking to a shingle roof

Follow a reroof through removal, exposed framing, plywood decking, underlayment, and a gray architectural-shingle finish in contractor project photos.

What the photos show

A closer look at the work.

A new roof surface is only part of a reroof. This photo sequence shows the work beneath it: the old covering, opened sections, wood decking, and underlayment before the shingle finish. Those stages are useful to discuss when comparing replacement estimates, because the visible covering does not describe the whole scope.

The work in detail

Follow the visible stages.

Questions to bring to your estimate.

  • How will the decking be assessed after the old covering comes off?
  • What does the estimate include for underlayment and roof transitions?
  • Will I receive photos of concealed work before it is covered?
