Preparing for a full roof replacement? Absolute Restorations provides safe, efficient, and thorough roof tear-off services in Milwaukee, clearing away worn, damaged, or outdated roofing layers to make way for a new, secure installation. We help homeowners and contractors get the clean foundation they need for long-lasting roofing systems.
What Is a Roof Tear-Off?
A roof tear-off involves removing all existing shingles, underlayment, nails, flashing, and related materials down to the roof decking. It’s the most reliable way to ensure:
- Structural integrity of the roof deck
- Removal of hidden leaks, rot, or soft spots
- Proper ventilation and sealing for your new roof
- Compliance with modern building codes and warranty requirements
Unlike overlay methods, tear-offs allow us to rebuild with precision and peace of mind.
When You Need a Roof Tear-Off
Your Roof Is Over 15–20 Years Old
Older roofs often have multiple layers of aging shingles, which must be removed for a proper replacement.
You’re Experiencing Recurring Leaks
A tear-off allows us to identify and eliminate deeper moisture issues.
You Want to Upgrade to a New Roofing System
Switching to metal, architectural shingles, or designer systems? Tear-off ensures a clean base.
Your Home Has Structural Concerns
We assess and reinforce your decking before a new roof is installed.
