What Is Reroofing?
Reroofing is the process of replacing your existing roofing system with new roofing materials. In most cases, this involves removing the old shingles and installing a new roof system, including underlayment, flashing, and ventilation components as needed.
Reroofing is typically recommended when a roof has reached the end of its lifespan or has extensive damage that cannot be effectively repaired.
When Do You Need Reroofing?
You may need to consider residential reroofing if you notice one or more of the following:
- Your roof is 20-25 years old or older
- Frequent leaks or recurring repair issues
- Widespread shingle damage, cracking, or curling
- Bald spots where shingle granules are missing
- Sagging areas or structural concerns
- Storm or weather damage affecting large sections of the roof
- Reduced energy efficiency and higher utility bills
Reroofing vs. Roof Installation:
What's the Difference?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, reroofing and roof installation serve different purposes:
Reroofing
- Replaces an existing roof on a home
- Typically involves removing old materials and installing new ones
- Ideal for aging or damaged roofs
- Focuses on restoring performance and extending roof lifespan
Roof Installation
- Installed on new construction or homes without a roof system
- Starts from the roof deck up
- Common during home builds or major structural renovations
In short, reroofing updates and replaces an old roof, while installation is for brand-new structures. Allegiant Roofing helps determine which option is best based on your home's condition and goals.

- Cracked, broken, or missing tiles across multiple areas
- Widespread tile slippage or misalignment
- Failing or deteriorated underlayment beneath the tiles
- Repeated leaks despite individual tile repairs
- Flat & Rolled Roofing
- Persistent ponding water after rainfall
- Cracks, blisters, or bubbles in the roofing membrane
- Soft or spongy areas when walked on
- Seam separation or peeling along edges and penetrations
- Metal Roofing
- Widespread rust or corrosion
- Loose, missing, or backed-out fasteners
- Repeated leaks around seams or flashing
- Warped, lifted, or damaged panels
