What is a Complete Residential Roof Replacement?

A complete residential roof replacement involves stripping all existing shingles down to the bare plywood decking, inspecting and repairing structural wood framing, and installing a multi-layer protective roofing system. Unlike a quick "shingle overlay" (which traps moisture and reduces shingle life), a complete tear-off guarantees your home's roof deck is sound, watertight, and fully code-compliant.

At Vargas & Sons Construction, we install premium Owens Corning and GAF Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles engineered with SBS-modified rubber asphalt to absorb hail impacts up to 2 inches in diameter.

Rotted plywood is replaced. Waterproof ice & water membrane is laid across eaves, valleys, and rakes.

Phase 3: Synthetic Underlayment & Shingle Nailing

High-strength synthetic felt is installed followed by Class 4 architectural shingles nailed using 6-nail high-wind pattern.

Class 4 impact shingles pass UL 2218 testing by surviving repeated 2-inch steel ball drops at 90 MPH without cracking. They absorb hail impact much better than standard shingles and qualify for insurance premium discounts up to 15% in Nebraska.

Yes. We strip all old materials down to bare plywood. Any rotted, soft, or delaminated CDX decking boards are identified and replaced before installing underlayment to guarantee structural strength.

We place heavy protective tarps over all flower beds, landscaping, AC units, and decks. Old debris goes directly into mobile dump trailers. After installation, we perform multiple magnetic sweeps to pick up stray nails.

You receive full manufacturer material warranties (30-year to Lifetime on architectural shingles) backed by our Vargas & Sons 10-year workmanship guarantee covering all labor and installation.
