At your home

Your Home During a Roof Replacement

Roof work happens while you live in the home, so a little planning helps. Here is what happens around the house and what you can do to get ready.

Questions about the start date?

(352) 269-2157
  1. Before work starts

    NB Roofs confirms the start date, where the dumpster and materials will go, and any permit or community approval the project needs.

  2. Clear the driveway and yard

    Move cars, patio furniture, grills and potted plants away from the house so the crew and the dumpster have room to work.

  3. Protect the attic and walls

    Cover items stored in the attic and take down fragile wall hangings, since tear-off shakes the house and loosens dust.

  4. Plan for noise and pets

    Tear-off and nailing are loud. Keep pets inside and away from the work area, or with family or a sitter for the day.

  5. Cleanup

    When the roof is finished, the crew clears the debris and runs magnets over the yard and driveway to pick up loose nails.

Homeowners insurance

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Roof Replacement?

Homeowners insurance usually pays to repair or replace a roof damaged by a sudden covered event, such as wind, a hurricane or a fallen tree, minus your deductible. It generally does not pay for a roof that has worn out with age. Whether a replacement is covered depends on your policy and the cause of the damage.

Usually covered

  • Wind and hurricane damage
  • Damage from a fallen tree or limb
  • Hail damage
  • Leaks caused by a covered storm

Usually not covered

  • Wear and tear from age
  • Damage from skipped maintenance
  • Problems left by a poor past installation

Florida rules to know

  • A new or reopened claim must be reported within 1 year of the date of loss (s. 627.70132)
  • Hurricane deductible options are $500, 2%, 5% or 10% of the dwelling limit, and it covers all hurricane losses in a calendar year (Florida CFO)
  • An insurer cannot refuse to write or renew a policy only because a roof is under 15 years old (s. 627.7011)

Built beyond the shingles

The Parts of a Residential Roof System

A residential roof is more than the shingles or metal you see from the street. These layers work together to keep water out, and NB Roofs installs them as one system on every roof replacement.

  • Roof decking

    Roof decking is the layer of plywood or OSB (oriented strand board) fastened to the rafters or trusses. Every other roof layer is nailed to it, so soft, rotted or cracked decking is replaced during a roof replacement before anything new goes on.

  • Underlayment

    Roof underlayment is a water-resistant layer installed over the decking and under the roof covering. It is the backup barrier if wind lifts or damages the shingles or metal panels. The Florida Building Code sets how the underlayment and deck seams are installed on Florida roofs.

  • Drip edge

    Drip edge is the metal flashing installed along the edges of the roof. It directs rainwater off the roof and away from the fascia boards, which helps prevent rot along the roof line.

  • Shingle starter

    The shingle starter is the first row installed at the eaves of a shingle roof. Its adhesive strip helps seal down the first course of shingles so wind has a harder time lifting the roof edge.

  • Flashing and sealants

    Flashing and sealants close the gaps where the roof meets walls, chimneys, skylights and vent pipes. These joints are where many roof leaks start, so they are replaced or resealed during the job.

  • Roof ventilation

    Roof ventilation moves air through the attic, with intake vents low on the roof and exhaust vents near the top. Good airflow lets heat and moisture escape. See solar attic fans.

Every layer is installed to the manufacturer's instructions and the Florida Building Code by a State Certified Roofing Contractor, License #CCC1328686.

Residential roofing FAQ

Residential Roofing Questions

Answers to what homeowners ask about choosing a residential roofing contractor and what turns up under an old roof.

  • What does a residential roofing contractor do?

    A residential roofing contractor inspects, repairs, replaces and installs roofs on houses. In Florida, roofing contractors must hold a state certified (CCC) or registered (RC) license from the DBPR. NB Roofs is a State Certified Roofing Contractor, license CCC1328686, working on homes in The Villages and Central Florida.

    Check a license DBPR license search
  • When does roof decking need to be replaced?

    Roof decking needs to be replaced where it is soft, rotted, cracked or separating, which is usually found once the old roof is torn off. Long-term leaks are a common cause. Damaged sections are replaced before new underlayment goes on, because the new roof is fastened to the deck.

  • What should I ask a residential roofing contractor before hiring?

    Ask for the contractor's Florida license number and check it with the DBPR, a written estimate that lists the materials and scope, who pulls the building permit, how damaged decking will be handled and priced, and which payment or financing options are available.
