Monarch Roofing CTRoof Replacement: What To Expect & How We Install
We remove your old roofing, repair the deck as needed, install full underlayment and flashing, then lay your new shingles with correct nailing and ventilation—for a clean, durable finish.
Our 8-Step Replacement Process
Tarps and plywood protect siding, landscaping, and walkways before work begins.
Remove shingles, nails, and underlayment down to a clean roof deck.
Inspect sheathing; replace any rotten or soft sections for a solid foundation.
Install waterproof underlayment and drip edge to lock out wind-driven rain.
Starter shingles along eaves/rakes for adhesion and wind resistance.
Install rows with correct nailing and staggered seams up to the ridge.
Install/inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys to direct water away.
Finish with ridge caps, magnet sweep, and homeowner walkthrough.

Roof Replacement FAQs
How long does a replacement take?
Most single-family homes are finished in one day, including cleanup. Complex roofs can take longer.
Do you protect landscaping and siding?
Yes—tarps, plywood, and careful staging minimize impact. We magnet-sweep the property at the end.
Can you match my current shingle color?
We’ll bring color options and help you choose a close match or an updated look.
What about ventilation?
We evaluate intake and exhaust during the estimate and adjust to meet state building code.
