Tear-off to finish

Five roofs, start to finish

Most roofing photos only show the last day. These show the whole job — because the layers that go on first are the reason the roof lasts.

Riverside — Tear-Off to Finish

One roof, start to finish: stripped to the deck, dried in with FeltBuster underlayment, shingled, verified from the air, and photographed from the sidewalk. This is what “deck-up, in layers” means.

Drone view of a Riverside, Houston roof mid tear-off, with old shingles stripped to the deck — Day one in Riverside: everything comes off, down to the decking, before anything new goes on.

Handy Hands crew tearing off old shingles on a Riverside, Houston roof — Tear-off by hand — it is the only way to actually see the condition of the deck underneath.

Roofer rolling GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment across a Riverside, Houston roof deck, with self-adhered membrane in the valley — FeltBuster synthetic underlayment going down over bare decking in Riverside, with the valley already sealed. One of the layers nobody sees, and one of the ones that matter most.

Cypress — Deck-Up Rebuild

From bare plywood to the finished aerial: decking checked, layers installed in order, and straight courses you can see from the street — or the drone.

Exposed plywood roof decking on a Cypress, TX home during a deck-up roof replacement, landscaping tarped below — Down to bare decking in Cypress — a deck-up rebuild starts with checking every sheet of plywood, and with tarps over everything below.

Finished shingle slope and ridge caps running against a blue sky on a Cypress, TX roof replacement — A finished Cypress slope from below the eave. Straight courses like this only happen when every row is chalked and nailed to the line.

Close aerial view of finished shingle courses and hip caps meeting at the peak of a Cypress, TX roof — Close enough to count the courses: finished field shingles running into hip caps on a Cypress roof.

Cypress — Dry-In, Step by Step

The stage most homeowners never see: valleys and rakes sealed, synthetic underlayment rolled across the deck, bundles staged, and the first courses going down at the eave.

Aerial view of a Cypress, TX roof mid-installation, with synthetic underlayment across the main slopes and self-adhered membrane along the dormer valleys and rake edges — Cypress, mid-install: underlayment across the open field, and the dormer valleys and rakes sealed separately before the decking beside them gets covered. Valleys move the most water on a roof, so they get their own waterproofing.

Top-down aerial of a Cypress, TX roof dried in with synthetic underlayment, shingle bundles staged across the slopes — Dry-in day in Cypress — underlayment down over the deck and bundles spread out where they will be used. A roof is already watertight at this stage, before a single shingle is nailed.
