Understanding When Your Home Needs a Complete Re-roof
Your roof represents one of the most critical investments in your home’s protection and value. At Teamwork Exteriors, we specialize in complete re-roofing projects that transform aging, damaged roofs into durable, weather-resistant systems designed to protect your home for decades. With over 40 years of experience in storm restoration and roofing throughout Cheyenne Metropolitan Area, we understand the unique challenges that local weather conditions present and how to address them through comprehensive re-roofing solutions.
The decision to completely re-roof your home typically comes after years of gradual deterioration or sudden severe damage. Unlike simple repairs that address isolated issues, re-roofing involves removing the existing roofing system down to the deck and installing an entirely new roof structure. This comprehensive approach ensures that any hidden damage, such as rotting decking or compromised underlayment, gets properly addressed before installing new materials. Our expertise as a GAF Master Elite contractor means we have access to premium roofing systems and enhanced warranty options that provide superior protection for your investment.
The Re-roofing Process: From Assessment to Completion
Every re-roofing project begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof system. We examine not just the visible shingles but also the underlying structure, including decking, ventilation systems, and flashing details. This comprehensive evaluation helps us identify all areas requiring attention and develop a detailed plan for your new roof installation. During this assessment, we document any storm damage, wear patterns, or structural concerns that may affect the re-roofing process.
Once we begin the actual re-roofing work, our certified crews follow a systematic approach that prioritizes both efficiency and attention to detail. We start by carefully removing all existing roofing materials, disposing of them responsibly while protecting your property and landscaping. After exposing the roof deck, we inspect and replace any damaged wood decking to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof. We then install high-quality underlayment and ice and water barriers in critical areas before applying your chosen roofing material according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Material Selection and Performance Considerations
Choosing the right roofing material for your re-roof project involves balancing aesthetic preferences, performance requirements, and budget considerations. Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice in Cheyenne, Ranchettes, Fox Farm College, & South Greeley WY due to their excellent cost-to-performance ratio and wide range of style options. Modern architectural shingles offer enhanced durability with impact resistance ratings that can qualify for insurance discounts while providing dimensional appearance that enhances curb appeal.
For homeowners seeking maximum longevity and performance, we also install premium roofing systems including designer shingles that replicate the look of slate or wood shake without the associated maintenance requirements. These advanced roofing products incorporate technologies such as reflective granules for energy efficiency and algae-resistant treatments that maintain appearance over time. Our partnership with leading manufacturers ensures access to the latest innovations in roofing technology, backed by comprehensive warranty coverage that protects your investment.
Signs That Indicate Re-roofing Is Necessary
- Multiple leaks appearing in different areas: When patches and repairs no longer effectively stop water infiltration
- Extensive granule loss: Bare spots on shingles indicate advanced aging and reduced protection
- Sagging or uneven roof sections: Structural issues requiring comprehensive intervention
- Age exceeding 20-25 years: Most asphalt roofs reach end of service life within this timeframe
- Storm damage affecting large portions: When damage exceeds 25% of roof area, re-roofing often proves more cost-effective than repairs
Investment Value and Long-term Benefits
Re-roofing represents a significant investment that delivers substantial returns through enhanced property value, improved energy efficiency, and eliminated maintenance concerns. Modern roofing systems incorporate advanced ventilation designs that reduce attic temperatures and moisture buildup, potentially lowering cooling costs during summer months. Additionally, a new roof installation provides opportunity to upgrade insulation and address any ventilation deficiencies that may have developed over time.

Our award-winning team combines technical expertise with commitment to customer satisfaction, ensuring your re-roofing project proceeds smoothly from initial consultation through final inspection. Being licensed and insured provides additional peace of mind that your investment receives protection throughout the installation process.
