The questions an aging roof raises.

Answered plainly, before anyone asks you to sign.

  1. Does my roof need replacing, or does it have life left?

    Replacement makes sense when problems are widespread: granule loss across the field, brittle or curling shingles, leaks in more than one place, soft decking, or storm damage across the roof. If yours has life left, that’s the first thing you’ll hear.

  2. What actually goes into a new roof?

    More than shingles. Decking, underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing and ventilation keep the water out, and they’re covered up on day one. See every layer

  3. What happens on install day?

    Most replacements take 1 to 3 days. You’ll know your crew’s arrival time and your project lead. Landscaping, AC units and the driveway are protected before tear-off, and the site gets a magnetic nail sweep before we leave.

  4. What’s the warranty?

    Two separate promises. Our 10-Year Workmanship Warranty covers the installation, and it comes from us. CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty covers the materials.

A roof is a system. We build every layer.

Installed to manufacturer requirements and local code, and photographed before it’s covered.

Exploded section, top layer first. Not to scale.
  1. Shingles. The weather surface.

  4. Ice & water shield. At the eaves and in the valleys.
  5. Roof deck. Inspected after tear-off.
  6. Rafters / trusses. Anything concerning is photographed.

    I recently had UnderCover replace our roof, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial inspection with Christian to the final walkthrough with Adam their team was very professional and transparent. We received a fair, detailed quote and there were no surprises. They communicated every step of the way. The crew was efficient, completing the job in one day! They took great care to protect my landscaping. They really did an amazing job of the cleanup. I feel very blessed that we have our new roof it made our home look very nice. I highly recommend UnderCover Roofing.

    Undercover Roofing just replaced my roof and did an excellent job. Their professionalism and communication was top-notch. Their workers were amazing. They knew exactly what they were doing. I was super impressed with their cleanup and their timely response in this huge job. I very rarely recommend companies anymore, but I was here for the entire process and witnessed the work ethics of the workers and the owners and highly recommend them if you have any Roofing jobs. They did an outstanding job and staying in touch with me the entire time Christian and Addam were both professional and amazing. I highly recommend this company.
