Why Do Genola Roofs Need Replacing?
Roofs in Genola usually need replacement because asphalt shingles wear out over time. Many homes in Genola were built around 1997, so some homes may still have an older roof from that period. As shingles age, the small protective granules on the surface can wear away. The shingles can also become brittle, and the adhesive that holds them down can weaken. These changes can happen before water starts leaking into the house. They are signs that the roof may be nearing the end of its useful life and should be inspected.

When Should You Replace a Roof in Genola?
Consider replacing a Genola roof when the shingles are too worn for repairs to last. Age can be one warning sign on homes built around 1997, but the condition of the roof matters more. Brittle, cracked, or badly worn shingles are difficult to repair reliably. If the roof also needs repeated service calls, compare the cost of continuing those repairs with the cost of replacement.
What Does a Roof Replacement in Genola Include?
A complete roof replacement in Genola starts by removing the existing roofing down to the wooden surface that supports the shingles. We inspect that wood and replace any areas that are soft, rotted, or otherwise damaged. Next, we install underlayment, which is a water-resistant layer between the wood and the shingles. We add a waterproof ice-and-water membrane along vulnerable areas such as the lower roof edges and valleys. We also install new metal flashing around chimneys, walls, and vents to help keep water out at those joints. After checking the ventilation, we install the new shingles. We inspect each layer before covering it with the next one.
Every roof is different. These are some of the roofing details that are especially important for homes in Genola:
- Sealed roof edges: We secure the shingles carefully along the roof edges because strong wind can get underneath loose shingles and lift them. We choose the fastening and wind rating based on how exposed the property is.
- Fresh metal at the edges: We install new metal along the lower and sloping roof edges. This metal directs water away from the exposed wood and helps protect the edges from water damage.
- Deck repairs, priced with you: After we remove the old roofing, we photograph any soft or damaged wood underneath. We show you the damage and provide the repair price before replacing the wood.
- Synthetic underlayment: We install synthetic underlayment across the wooden roof surface. Underlayment is a protective layer between the wood and the shingles. Synthetic material resists tearing and moisture better than traditional felt during installation.
- All-new flashing: We install new metal flashing around chimneys, walls, and vents. These joints are common places for leaks, so reusing old flashing can create a weak point in an otherwise new roof.
- High-altitude materials: At about 4,518 feet of elevation, the roof receives strong sunlight and demanding winter weather. We recommend roofing materials that are appropriate for those conditions.
After the work is complete, we register the manufacturer's materials warranty in your name. Courtland Roofing also provides a 5-year workmanship warranty for the installation.

During the job, we protect the property, remove the old roofing, inspect the wood underneath, and install the new roofing system.

Common Questions About Roof Replacement in Genola
How much does it cost to replace a roof in Genola?
The cost of replacing a roof in Genola depends on the roof's size, how steep it is, and the roofing material you choose. The price can also change if the home has multiple layers of old roofing or if we find damaged wood underneath the shingles. We inspect the roof before giving you a written price so the estimate is based on the actual roof rather than a guess. The inspection and written quote are free.
How long does a roof replacement take in Genola?
Most roof replacements in Genola take about one to a few days once work begins. The exact schedule depends on the roof's size, how steep it is, how much damaged wood we find after removing the old shingles, and the weather. We may reschedule work if conditions are too cold or wet for the shingles to seal correctly.
What shingle should I put on a Genola roof?
The best shingle for a Genola home depends on the property's conditions. Homes that receive stronger wind may need shingles with a higher wind rating, which tells you how much wind the shingles are designed to withstand. Impact-resistant shingles may be useful where hail is a concern. For some high-elevation or snowy properties, metal roofing may also be worth considering.
