Follow these basic steps when replacing the roof on your home:

• Remove all the old roofing material and underlayment so the decking can be inspected for rot or other damage.
• Repair or replace any rotten or damaged sections of decking on the roof.
• Install new underlayment as recommended by the roofing manufacturer so it will meet the roof warranty guidelines.
• Install the new roofing, paying particular attention to valleys and flashing to prevent costly leaks.
