- Deteriorated underlayment across the whole roof
Evaluation & Approach
Class 4 is the highest impact rating for shingles, which matters on the Front Range where hail is the main reason roofs get replaced. Tearing off to the deck lets the crew inspect the wood instead of roofing over problems. New flashings, pipe boots and vents go in with the roof because those are where leaks start.
