Understanding the Roof Replacement Process
Replacing a roof is a significant investment and an essential part of maintaining your home’s structural integrity and value. At Rhino Roofing, we help homeowners in Durham, NC navigate every stage of a full roof replacement with clarity and confidence.
Step 1: Initial Roof Inspection
Assessing the Condition
The process begins with a thorough inspection to assess the roof’s current condition. Our professionals look for signs of damage such as missing shingles, leaks, sagging areas, and deteriorated flashing.
Providing an Honest Evaluation
Following the inspection, we provide a detailed report and recommendations. If replacement is necessary, we help homeowners understand their options and next steps.
Step 2: Choosing Materials and Preparing the Project
Selecting the Right Materials
Homeowners can choose from a variety of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal, or premium options like CertainTeed products. We assist in selecting materials that align with your budget, style preferences, and the local climate needs of Durham, NC.
Preparing the Home
Prior to installation, we ensure the property is protected by covering landscaping and setting up safety barriers. Clear communication ensures homeowners know what to expect each day of the project.
Step 3: Removing the Old Roof
Full Tear-Off
A full replacement typically involves tearing off the existing roofing down to the decking. This allows us to inspect the underlying structure for any hidden damage that needs attention before installing the new roof.
Step 4: Repairs and Preparations
Addressing Structural Issues
If damaged decking or structural components are found, they are repaired or replaced. This step ensures a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
Installing Underlayment and Flashing
A high-quality underlayment is installed to provide an additional barrier against moisture. Proper flashing is added around vulnerable areas such as chimneys, vents, and valleys.
Step 5: New Roof Installation
Expert Installation
The selected roofing materials are installed according to manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices. Attention to detail ensures long-term durability and optimal performance.
Ventilation and Final Touches
Proper ventilation systems are installed or upgraded as needed to maximize energy efficiency and prolong the roof’s life. We finish by cleaning the site thoroughly, ensuring no debris is left behind.
Step 6: Final Inspection and Warranty

After installation, a final inspection confirms that the work meets our high standards and your expectations.
