Replacing a roof in Hampton

What tips a Hampton roof from patching toward full replacement? Usually it is a combination: shingles past their expected service life, wear spread across the whole surface, decking that has softened or rotted, or more than one layer already in place. Fixing one area at a time on a roof like that tends to lead straight to the next leak.

The largest group of homes in the city was built in the 1960s. On houses of that age, a tear-off may reveal earlier roofing, older sheathing or ventilation details that a contractor will want to look at before installing anything new.

About 56 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. If you own and live in the house, the decision is yours; if you rent, the owner makes the call.

Bring a short list to the contractor: the material options and their trade-offs, the planned sequence of work, the manufacturer's warranty on the materials, and the arrangements for tearing off and disposing of the old covering. For a covering-only replacement on a one- or two-family home, a permit is generally not needed, though structural or deck work may change that. The City of Hampton Development Services Center can confirm how the rule applies to your project.
