If you’re preparing for a roof replacement, chances are you have questions—and maybe even a little stress. It’s a big project and an important investment in your home. But with the right contractor and a clear understanding of the process, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
At Republic Roofing & Restoration, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Collierville, Germantown, Rossville, and the greater Memphis area navigate the roof replacement process smoothly. Whether your roof was damaged in a storm, has simply reached the end of its life, or you’re looking to increase your home’s value, we’re here to help you know exactly what to expect.
1. Step One: Inspection and Honest Evaluation
Before anything gets scheduled, we begin with a comprehensive roof inspection. This isn’t a quick glance—we assess your shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and even look inside the attic for signs of moisture or deck damage.
Here’s what we look for:
- Cracked, curled, or missing shingles
- Storm-related impact or wind damage
- Granule loss and aging signs
- Leaks or water stains in the attic
- Ventilation or structural issues
After the inspection, we’ll walk you through our findings—with photos, clear explanations, and no sales pressure. If a full replacement isn’t necessary, we’ll let you know. If it is, we’ll explain why and go over your options for materials, warranties, and scheduling.
2. Step Two: Insurance Claim Support (If Needed)
If your roof replacement is the result of storm damage, we’ll help you work through the insurance process from start to finish. Homeowners across Memphis trust Republic Roofing because we make this part simple.
- We’ll help you file your claim
- Meet with your insurance adjuster to ensure nothing is missed
- Provide proper documentation, damage photos, and a detailed estimate
- Help you understand what’s covered (and what isn’t)
We work with all major insurers, and our experience navigating the claims process helps ensure our customers get what they’re owed—without added stress.
3. Step Three: Choosing the Right Roofing System
There are more options today than ever before when it comes to roofing materials. We help you select the best choice based on your home’s architecture, budget, and performance goals.
We offer:
- Architectural asphalt shingles (most popular in Tennessee)
- Impact-resistant shingles (great for hail-prone areas)
- Designer shingles for curb appeal
- Metal roofing options for long-term durability
We also help you pick a color that complements your home—because a new roof isn’t just about protection; it’s about boosting your home’s value and appearance.
All of our materials are backed by manufacturer warranties, and when installed by Republic Roofing, you get labor warranties too.
4. Step Four: Scheduling and Preparation
Once you’ve signed off, we’ll schedule your roof replacement for a time that works for you. A few things you can expect during this phase:
- We’ll give you a heads-up on how to prepare your yard and driveway
- We’ll protect your landscaping with tarps and safety measures
- We’ll deliver materials the day before or morning of the installation
We’ll also communicate clearly with you the entire time. You won’t have to wonder when we’re coming or what to expect next.
5. Step Five: Roof Removal and Replacement
Installation day is when the magic happens. Most of our full roof replacements are completed in a single day, though larger or more complex roofs may take two.
Here’s a breakdown of what we do:
- Tear off your old roofing material down to the decking
- Inspect for any damaged decking and replace as needed
- Install high-quality underlayment, ice & water shield, and flashing
- Apply your new roofing system with precision and care
- Install ventilation components to keep your attic healthy and dry
Throughout the process, we have on-site supervisors to ensure everything goes according to plan and to answer any questions you may have.
6. Step Six: Thorough Cleanup
One of the things homeowners in Collierville and Memphis often mention in reviews is our attention to detail—including cleanup. We don’t just pack up and go:
- We sweep the yard and driveway with magnets to remove stray nails
- Haul away all old roofing materials and debris
- Double-check landscaping for leftover trash or materials
- Leave your home looking better than we found it
We take pride in the quality of our work, and that includes respect for your property.
7. Step Seven: Final Walkthrough and Warranty Info
Once everything is complete, we’ll walk the property with you and explain:
- What work was done
- What products were installed
- How to maintain your roof
- What your warranties cover
- How to reach us for future needs or questions
We also provide a copy of your warranty documents and final invoice for your records or insurance.
