When they wash off, aging speeds up. ### Dark streaks or bald spots Algae streaks and worn patches are signs the shingle surface is breaking down. ### A roof 20 or more years old Most builder-grade shingle roofs in Kentucky reach the end of their service life around this point, even if they still look passable from the street. ### Storm damage Hail bruises and wind-lifted shingles aren’t always visible from the ground, and they can qualify for an [insurance claim](/storm-damage-roof-repair/). Not sure which category your roof falls in? Schedule a free inspection. We’ll walk you through photos of exactly what we found, leave you with a written report, and if a repair is all it takes, a repair is what we’ll recommend. [Schedule a Free Inspection](/free-roof-inspection/) ## What a Complete Roof Replacement Includes A shingle roof is a system, and every layer matters. When A.L.E Roofing replaces your roof, the work includes: ### Full tear-off We remove the old roof down to the decking. Installing new shingles over old ones hides problems and shortens the new roof’s life, so we start clean every time. ### Decking inspection With the old roof off, we check every board underneath and replace any soft or damaged decking before the new system goes down. ### Complete system installation Underlayment, ice and water protection in the valleys and vulnerable areas, starter strips, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation matched to the shingle. Installing the complete matched system is what qualifies your roof for full manufacturer-backed warranty coverage. ### Flashing and detail work Chimneys, walls, pipe boots, and valleys get new flashing fitted correctly, because details are where roofs succeed or fail. ### Complete cleanup Daily site cleanup, a magnetic sweep for nails across your yard and driveway, and a final walkthrough together before we call the job done. ## Built Around the Atlas Pinnacle Pristine System We work with all the major manufacturers but we are proud to be an [Atlas Pro+ Platinum certified contractor](https://www.atlasroofing.com/), and our go-to replacement system is the Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingle. It meets the highest quality standards at a cost that doesn’t break the bank, with high wind ratings for Kentucky storm seasons and stain resistance to keep your roof looking fresh. As a certified contractor installing the complete Atlas system, we can offer warranty coverage beyond what a standard installation gets, and we hand you the documentation at your final walkthrough.

Click the blue tab to the right! ### How long does a shingle roof replacement take? Most residential shingle roofs in Central Kentucky are replaced in one to two days. Larger or steeper roofs may take longer. You’ll have a clear schedule before work begins and updates throughout. ### Do you tear off the old roof or install over it? We do a full tear-off on every replacement. Removing the old roof lets us inspect the decking underneath, fix any soft or damaged boards, and give the new system a clean, solid foundation. It’s the difference between a roof that lasts and one that hides problems. ### How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair? A free inspection answers that question. We show you photos of what we found and give you a written report, and if a repair is all your roof needs, a repair is what we’ll recommend. In general, isolated damage on a younger roof points to repair, while widespread wear or a roof past 20 years usually points to replacement. ### What is included in a roof replacement? Every A.L.E Roofing replacement includes full tear-off, decking inspection and repair, a complete matched shingle system (underlayment, ice and water protection, starter strips, shingles, hip and ridge, and ventilation), new flashing and detail work, and complete cleanup with a magnetic sweep for nails. ### What warranty comes with a new shingle roof? Every full Atlas system we install qualifies for manufacturer-backed warranty coverage, and we provide the documentation at your final walkthrough. Warranty terms depend on the shingle system you choose, and we’ll walk you through the options during your estimate. Learn more on our [shingle roof warranty page](/shingle-roof-warranty/). ### Will insurance pay for my roof replacement? If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or a storm, your homeowner’s insurance may cover some or all of the replacement. We document the damage, prepare the estimate in Xactimate, and meet your adjuster on the roof. Learn more on our [insurance claims page](/roof-insurance-claims/). ## Ready to Put a New Roof Over What Matters Most? Schedule a free, no-pressure inspection.
