How We Handle a Full Roof Replacement

A proper replacement is not simply removing old shingles and nailing on new ones. Every stage requires careful technique, quality materials, and attention to details that most homeowners never see but that determine whether the roof lasts 20 years or 50. Our four-stage process has been refined through hundreds of completed projects across Clark County's unique climate, from the heavy rainfall months of October through March to the occasional summer heat that stresses improperly ventilated attic spaces.

  1. 1

    Complete Tear-Off

    We strip every old shingle, felt paper, and corroded flashing down to bare plywood decking. No layovers that trap moisture and void manufacturer warranties.

  2. 2

    Decking Inspection & Repair

    Rotted or delaminated plywood sheets are replaced with new CDX-grade sheathing. We check every square foot for soft spots, water staining, and structural sagging.

  3. 3

    Underlayment & Ice Shield

    Self-adhering ice and water shield goes along eaves, valleys, and around all penetrations. Synthetic underlayment covers the remaining deck for a secondary moisture barrier.

  4. 4

    Shingle Installation & Cleanup

    Premium architectural shingles installed with manufacturer-specified 6-nail high-wind fastening. Continuous ridge vent for balanced attic airflow. Triple-pass magnetic nail sweep across your entire yard.

Structural Decking Restoration

Before any underlayment or new shingles are installed, our crews inspect every inch of the wood substrate. Any rotted, soft, or delaminated plywood is cut out and replaced with brand new CDX exterior-grade sheathing, ensuring a solid structural foundation that holds fasteners securely in high winds.

Every Component of Your New Roof

A quality reroof involves far more than installing new shingles. The materials you cannot see, the underlayment, ice shield, flashing, and ventilation components, are what actually determine how long your roof will perform in the Pacific Northwest. Here is what goes into every Apex replacement project in the Vancouver, Washington area, and why each component matters:

  • Full Tear-Off to Bare Decking: No layovers. We remove everything to inspect the wood substrate underneath.
  • Rotted Plywood Replacement: CDX-grade sheathing replaces any compromised panels discovered during tear-off.
  • Ice and Water Shield: Self-adhering membrane at eave lines, valleys, skylights, and chimney junctions where leaks are most common.
  • Synthetic Underlayment: High-performance woven synthetic that resists tearing and provides UV protection during installation.
  • New Flashing: Step flashing, counter-flashing, drip edge, and valley metal replaced with corrosion-resistant galvanized steel or aluminum.
  • Pipe Boot & Vent Replacement: Every rubber pipe jack and static vent cover is replaced with new components rated for 25+ years.
  • Ridge Vent & Starter Strip: Continuous ridge vent for balanced attic airflow, and adhesive starter strips at eaves and rakes to resist wind uplift.

When Is It Time for a Full Reroof?

Direct Answer: It is time for a full reroof when your roof exceeds 20 years of age, displays widespread granule loss in gutters, experiences active leaks in multiple rooms, or shows brittle, curling shingles. Certified roof inspection reports verify whether localized repairs or a full tear-off replacement is the most cost-effective path. Here are the 6 critical warning signs to look for:

Widespread Granule Loss

If your gutters are full of dark grit and shingles look bald or patchy, the protective surface layer has degraded. This exposes the asphalt to UV damage and accelerates decay, especially in Pacific Northwest rain.

Multiple Active Leaks

A single leak near a pipe boot can be repaired locally. But when water stains appear in multiple rooms or attic sections, the underlayment and decking have likely failed across large areas.

Roof Age Over 20 Years

Most three-tab shingles installed in the 1990s and early 2000s are past their rated service life. Even if they look acceptable from the ground, brittle tabs and cracked sealant strips are common at that age.

Curling, Cupping, or Buckling

Shingle edges curling upward or cupping into a concave shape indicate moisture infiltration from below. This typically points to inadequate attic ventilation and compromised underlayment beneath.

Daylight Through Decking

If you can see light coming through the roof boards when you stand in your attic, the sheathing has deteriorated. Soft, spongy decking is a serious structural concern that demands prompt attention.

Heavy Moss Penetration

When moss roots have burrowed beneath shingle tabs and lifted them from the deck surface, cleaning alone is not enough. The shingles are permanently compromised and replacement is the lasting solution.
