This process involves installing a new roof on a structure that either doesn’t have one yet or is undergoing major structural modifications. It’s typically needed in situations such as:
New Construction: Adding a roof to a newly built home or building
Major Renovations: Updating an existing structure with significant changes that require a new roofing system
This service becomes necessary when the current roof is beyond repair or has reached the end of its lifespan. Common indicators that it may be time for a roof replacement include:
Aging Roof: If your roof is over 20 years old, the materials may have deteriorated and no longer offer proper protection.
Visible Damage: Large areas of missing shingles, ongoing leaks, or noticeable sagging can signal serious structural issues.
Frequent Repairs: If you’re constantly fixing problems, a full replacement may be a more practical and cost-effective solution.

While both roof installation and roof replacement lead to a brand-new roof, the two differ in terms of process, cost, and key considerations.

Bottom Line: If you’re constructing a new home or adding onto an existing one, roof installation is the right choice. If your current roof is worn out or too damaged to fix, a full replacement provides lasting protection and reliable performance.
The cost of roof installation or repair depends on several key factors. These include the type of roofing material, the complexity of the job, and how accessible the roof is. Asphalt shingles are usually the most budget-friendly option, while materials like slate or metal can drive up the total cost.
Roofs with steep angles or intricate designs often require specialized tools and skilled labor, which can increase labor expenses. Understanding these factors helps homeowners make informed, cost-effective choices that fit their specific needs and budget.

In Birmingham, the changing seasons have a significant impact on roofing timelines and costs. Winter often brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, making roof work dangerous or impractical. Fewer contractors are available, and the added risks usually lead to higher pricing during these colder months.
Spring and fall are typically the best times for roofing projects. The weather is more stable, with milder temperatures and less rainfall, creating safer and more reliable working conditions. These seasons also offer greater contractor availability and more competitive pricing.
By planning around these seasonal patterns, you can schedule your roofing project more efficiently, keep costs down, and avoid unnecessary delays.
Choosing the right roofing service—whether it’s a full replacement or a quick repair—offers serious advantages. It can save you money in the long run and give you peace of mind knowing your home is protected. Tackling minor issues early helps prevent them from turning into bigger, more expensive problems. While repair costs depend on the damage, they’re typically far less than the price of a full roof replacement.
Getting the right service also keeps your roof doing its job—protecting against water intrusion, mold, and other damage caused by aging or failing materials. While DIY might seem tempting, a professional ensures the job is done correctly and safely the first time.
Your roof plays a crucial role in your home’s security and value. If you’re unsure about its condition, reach out to Schoenherr Roofing for a free inspection and expert guidance.
Signs that your roof may be due for replacement include curled or missing shingles, ongoing leaks, sagging areas, excessive granule loss, and being over 20 years old. If you notice any of these, it’s wise to schedule a professional inspection to determine if a replacement is necessary.
Homeowners are encouraged to schedule a roof inspection at least once a year—and especially after any major storm in Michigan. These regular inspections help spot early damage and prevent it from turning into costly repairs later on.
Roofing contractors provide a full range of services, including roof repairs, full installations, thorough inspections, regular maintenance, and assistance with roofing projects both large and small.
Roof replacement means tearing off the old roof, checking and fixing the decking if necessary, and installing a brand-new roofing system designed for better strength and lasting protection.
A new roof installation involves constructing an entire roofing system from the ground up—choosing the right materials, installing the underlayment and shingles, and making sure ventilation and waterproofing are done correctly for lasting performance.
