Complete Tear-Off
Full removal of old roofing down to the decking for a clean, honest installation.
A new roof is a once-in-a-generation purchase, so it has to be built correctly from the deck up. Roofex installs complete roofing systems engineered for Midwest weather and finished to a standard you will be proud of.
Overview
Replacement is more than laying new shingles over the old ones. The layers beneath your roof — decking, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, drip edge, ventilation and flashing — determine how long the finished roof actually lasts. We rebuild the whole assembly, and we never skip steps to win on price.
Every Roofex installation begins with a thorough assessment of your decking and structure. Any soft, delaminated or rotten sheathing is replaced, and we verify that your attic ventilation is balanced. This is the unglamorous work that separates a roof that lasts 30 years from one that fails in 10.
We install architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, clay and concrete tile, and synthetic slate — and we help you choose based on your home’s architecture, your HOA requirements, your insurance considerations and your budget. You receive manufacturer samples, a written specification and a fixed price before a single nail is pulled.

Frequently asked
A typical 2,000 sq ft home with architectural shingles ranges from roughly $9,400 to $18,000 depending on pitch, layers and material. Metal and tile cost more. Every quote is fixed and itemised.
We recommend full tear-off in almost every case. Overlays trap moisture, hide decking damage and shorten the life of the new roof. Where building codes allow an overlay and the existing roof is in good condition, we will explain the trade-offs honestly.
Yes. We tarp gardens, protect siding and windows, use a debris chute where needed, and run a magnetic sweep for nails at the end of every day.
