Roof Replacement and Reshingling
When a roof reaches the end of its service life, further repairs go from economical to postponing the inevitable, sometimes harmful. Redemption Roofing and Construction replaces roofs across the Tri-Cities — Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and the surrounding Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina communities.
A full replacement means tearing off to the current roof, inspecting and repairing the decking underneath, and rebuilding the whole water-management system: underlayment, ice and water barrier, flashing, ventilation, and shingles. As an Owens Corning® Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor we can back qualifying work with the Platinum Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty.

What a Full Roof Replacement Includes
Reshingling is not just new shingles. What sits underneath determines whether the roof reaches its rated life:
- Complete tear-off to the current roof, so nothing is hidden or guessed at
- Decking inspection and replacement of any soft, delaminated, or rotted sheathing
- Synthetic underlayment across the full deck for a secondary water barrier
- Ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and around every penetration
- New drip edge, step flashing, and counter-flashing — not reused old metal
- Correct intake and exhaust ventilation so the attic can actually breathe
- Architectural shingles installed to manufacturer specification for warranty validity
Reusing old flashing or shingling over an existing layer is where most premature roof failures begin. We do not offer a layover as a cost-saving option, because it hides the decking and shortens the life of everything installed on top of it.

Roofing and Siding Only
A specialist crew, not a general contractor subbing the work out. Your exterior is the job, not a sideline.
Signs It Is Time to Replace Rather Than Repair
A repair is the better spend right up until it is not. These are the signals that the roof has moved past it.
- The roof is at or past twenty years for a standard asphalt shingle
- Damage spans several roof planes rather than one localized area
- You have paid for repeated repairs in consecutive years
- Shingles are broadly cupped, curled, cracked, or shedding granules
- The decking feels soft underfoot or sags between rafters
- There are multiple active leaks, or leaks that return after repair
- An insurance adjuster has approved a full replacement after a storm
- You are selling, and an inspection report has flagged the roof
Materials and What They Cost You Over Time
Architectural asphalt shingle is the right answer for most homes in this region, balancing cost, wind rating, and a twenty-five to thirty-year life. Where a homeowner intends to stay put, standing seam metal often costs less per year of service despite the higher up-front price. We also install Brava composite, cedar shake, slate, and Spanish tile where the architecture calls for it. Try the instant roof quote tool for a ballpark before you book.

How a Replacement Runs, Start to Finish
A replacement is a bigger disruption than a repair, and most of the worry around it comes from not knowing what happens when. Here is the actual sequence:
- Inspection and documentation — we get on the roof, photograph what we find, and tell you plainly whether replacement is genuinely the right call or whether a repair still has years in it. This is compiled in an inspection report that is sent right to you.
- Written quote — the number, the material, and the assumptions behind it, in writing, good for 30 days if you need think about it
- Material selection — we bring samples to the house rather than asking you to choose off a screen, because color reads differently in daylight against your own siding
- Scheduling — a real date and a weather contingency, not a vague window
- Tear-off and decking check — the old covering comes off and we inspect the sheathing underneath; anything soft gets replaced, and you see it before it is covered back up
- Install — underlayment, ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, flashing, field shingles, ridge. All finalized by a final inspection report so you know the work was done as promised.
- Cleanup and warranty — magnet sweep across the whole property, debris hauled, and your Owens Corning warranty registered on your behalf
Most residential replacements are a one or two day job. If yours will run longer because of size, pitch, or what we find under the old roof, you will hear that before we start rather than on the second afternoon.
