This process involves installing a new roof on a structure that either doesn’t have one yet or is undergoing significant changes. It’s typically required in situations such as:
New Construction: Installing a complete roofing system on a newly built home or building.
Major Renovations: Updating an existing structure with substantial changes that require a full roof replacement.
This service is needed when repairs are no longer enough, or your roof has outlived its usefulness. Here are some signs that a full replacement might be the best option:
Aging Roof: If your roof is over 20 years old, the materials may no longer provide adequate protection.
Visible Damage: Missing shingles, recurring leaks, or a sagging roofline often point to more significant structural issues.
Frequent Repairs: If you’re constantly making repairs, a full replacement can save you money and reduce stress in the long term.

While both roof installation and roof replacement provide a brand-new roof, the reasons, processes, and costs differ.
Roof Installation:
Perfect for new construction or major renovations
Offers more flexibility in material and design options
No need to remove an old roof, making the process quicker and cleaner
Roof Replacement:
Involves removing the existing roof before installing a new one
May require structural updates to meet current building codes
Can improve energy efficiency and increase your home’s resale value
Bottom Line:
If you’re building from the ground up or expanding, choose a new installation. If your roof is outdated or damaged, a replacement provides lasting protection and peace of mind.
The cost of roof installation or repair can vary greatly based on several key factors. These include the type of roofing material, the complexity of the project, and how accessible your roof is. Asphalt shingles are generally the most cost-effective option, while premium materials such as slate or metal come with a higher cost.
If your roof has a steep pitch or complex design, it may require specialized tools and a more experienced crew, which can drive up labor costs. By understanding these factors, homeowners can make informed decisions that align with both their budget and specific needs.
Roofing Material Choices:
Asphalt shingles: A popular, budget-friendly option that’s easy to install and performs well for most homes.
Slate or tile: A premium material with a higher initial cost, but it provides exceptional durability and longevity.
Understanding the cost differences between materials helps you balance your budget with the long-term value of your roof.
Roof Size:
Larger roofs require more materials—such as extra shingles, underlayment, and other components—leading to higher overall costs.
Roof Complexity:
Steep slopes, complex angles, dormers, or intricate designs require additional time, skill, and specialized tools, increasing both labor and material expenses.
In Dryden, seasonal changes have a big impact on the timing and cost of roofing projects. Winter brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, which can slow down progress and create hazardous conditions. With fewer crews available and extra safety measures needed, roofing during colder months often results in higher costs.
Spring and fall are usually the best seasons for roofing projects. With milder temperatures and more predictable weather, these seasons provide ideal working conditions, reducing delays and enhancing efficiency. Contractors tend to be more available, and pricing is often more competitive during these times.
By timing your roofing project with the seasons, you can avoid delays, manage costs, and ensure the job is done right from the beginning.
Choosing the right roofing service—whether it’s a small repair or a full replacement—can make a real difference for your home and your budget. Fixing minor issues early helps you avoid major, expensive problems later on. While repair costs vary, they’re usually far more affordable than replacing the entire roof.
Hiring a professional means your roof keeps doing its job: keeping water out, preventing mold, and protecting your home from everyday wear. DIY repairs might look simple, but having a pro take care of it ensures it’s done correctly and safely the first time.
Your roof is a crucial part of your home’s structure and value. Unsure about its condition? Contact Schoenherr Roofing for a free inspection and reliable expert advice you can trust.
If you’re seeing curled or missing shingles, frequent leaks, sagging areas, or granules building up in your gutters, your roof may be approaching the end of its lifespan—especially if it’s over 20 years old. Noticing any of these signs? It’s a good idea to have a roofing expert inspect your roof to determine if it’s time to consider a replacement.
Homeowners should have a roof inspection at least once a year—and definitely after any major storm in Michigan. Regular inspections help identify early signs of damage before they develop into larger, more costly issues.
Roofing contractors handle it all—from fixing leaks and damage to installing new roofs, conducting thorough inspections, and providing regular maintenance. Whether it’s a small repair or a full installation, they have the tools, expertise, and experience to keep your roof strong and reliable.
Roof replacement involves tearing off the old roofing materials, inspecting the underlying decking for any damage, making required repairs, and installing a brand-new roofing system. The goal is to give your home enhanced, long-lasting protection against the elements.
Installing a new roof means constructing a full roofing system from the ground up. It begins with choosing the right materials, followed by laying down the underlayment, adding shingles, and ensuring proper sealing and ventilation. The result is a durable, attractive roof that provides outstanding performance and protection.
