When your roof has reached the end of its lifespan or suffered extensive damage, patchwork repairs simply won’t cut it. That’s when you need a comprehensive, lasting solution—full roof tear-off services. At Elite Roofing Group, we provide expert-level tear-offs and complete roof replacements designed to protect your property, increase curb appeal, and offer peace of mind for decades.
Whether you’re a homeowner dealing with aged shingles or a commercial property owner managing storm damage, our seasoned team delivers precise, efficient, and affordable solutions. But what makes our full roof tear-off services truly stand out? Let’s explore.
What Are Full Roof Tear-Off Services?
Before diving into our process and advantages, it’s essential to understand what a full roof tear-off really involves.
Unlike a roof overlay—which simply installs a new layer of shingles over the old—a full tear-off removes every layer down to the decking. This allows for:
- Thorough inspection of the underlayment
- Replacement of damaged decking or rotten wood
- Installation of a brand-new roofing system from the ground up
In essence, a full tear-off is the gold standard in roofing replacement. Although it’s more labor-intensive than a re-roof, it yields better long-term results and allows your new roof to last longer and perform better.

Our Full Roof Tear-Off Process
A roof tear-off is a multi-step process that demands precision. Here’s how Elite Roofing Group gets the job done, efficiently and correctly, every time.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Inspection
First, we conduct a comprehensive roof inspection to assess the condition of your existing system. During this phase, we’ll:
- Inspect shingles, decking, flashing, vents, and more
- Identify signs of rot, water damage, and mold
- Discuss your goals, material preferences, and budget
This helps us develop a custom plan tailored to your specific needs.
Step 2: Site Prep and Safety Measures
Before the actual tear-off begins, we protect your landscaping, siding, and windows with tarps and plywood shields. We also set up perimeter barriers and dumpsters for efficient debris management.
Step 3: Full Roof Tear-Off
Next, our crew removes all old roofing materials—shingles, felt, underlayment, nails, and flashing. Every inch is stripped down to the decking so we can inspect for hidden problems.
Step 4: Decking Repair or Replacement
We examine your roof decking for soft spots, rot, or structural weaknesses. If necessary, we replace damaged sections to ensure your new roof has a strong foundation.
Step 5: New Roof Installation
With a clean, solid deck in place, we install the new roofing system, which includes:
- Moisture and ice barriers
- Synthetic or felt underlayment
- High-performance shingles, metal panels, or tile
- Ridge vents, flashing, and waterproof seals
Step 6: Clean-Up and Final Inspection
Once your new roof is in place, we conduct a full clean-up, magnet sweep for nails, and a detailed final inspection. We won’t leave until your property looks spotless and your new roof passes our strict quality standards.
Benefits of Full Roof Tear-Off Services
Many property owners are tempted to take the quick, cheaper route and go for an overlay. However, the long-term benefits of a tear-off far outweigh the short-term savings.
Improved Roof Lifespan
A tear-off allows your new roof to be properly installed on a solid deck. This means fewer issues down the road and a longer-lasting roofing system.
Better Home Value
Homebuyers prefer full tear-off replacements because they know what they’re getting: a clean, durable, and fully updated roof with no surprises underneath.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Old roofs often have gaps, poor insulation, and degraded materials. A new roof built from scratch improves insulation and ventilation—reducing your energy bills over time.
Full Warranty Coverage
Manufacturers typically only honor warranties when roofing materials are installed correctly and directly onto the deck. Tear-offs meet those standards—overlays don’t.
