Roof Replacement in Riverton
A surprising number of Riverton roofs are carrying more weight than they should. The mill-era cottages near the water often have a second shingle layer (sometimes a third) nailed over the original, and code says all of it comes off before a new roof goes on. We’ve been crossing the bridge from our Springfield shop since 1985, and full tear-off replacement is the job we do most in this town.
What Tear-Off Reveals on Older Riverton Homes
Those cottages were decked with individual planks, not plywood, and decades of layered shingles hide shrunken gaps, split boards, and soft spots around the chimney. None of it can be judged until the old roof is off, so we price decking repairs per sheet in writing up front. A rotten board becomes a line item, not a surprise. Up on the bluff, the newer subdivisions are reaching the age where builder-grade shingles give out all at once, usually years before the homeowner expected.
A Full System, Not Just Shingles
Every replacement includes new underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys, drip edge, and ridge venting matched to your attic. Details live on our roof replacement page.
