Roof Replacement Underway on a Decatur Home

This is a full roof replacement in Decatur - and this one is a good example of why the process matters just as much as the finished product. The old shingles are stripped back, the decking is exposed and inspected, and the underlayment is going down clean across every section of this roof.

The underlayment you're seeing here is RhinoRoof U20 - a high-performance synthetic product that gives you a serious moisture barrier before a single shingle goes on. It's tougher and more water-resistant than old-school felt paper. On a home with this many dormers and angles, getting that layer down right is critical. Miss a spot, and you've created a future leak.

That's actually the part most homeowners don't think about. Everyone focuses on the shingles - the color, the style, the curb appeal. But the layers underneath are what protect your home when a storm rolls through. We take the same care on the stuff you'll never see as we do on the stuff you will.

Roof replacements like this one also give us a chance to catch problems hiding under the old shingles - soft decking, old flashing, areas where water has been sitting. Getting ahead of those issues before the new roof goes down is exactly how you avoid costly repairs down the road.

For homeowners in Decatur and the surrounding areas, this is what a proper roof replacement looks like from the ground up. No shortcuts on the underlayment, no skipping the inspection step. Just solid work, done right.
