When does a roof need demolition instead of a repair?

Once the decking has failed as a nailing surface, framing has sagged or more layers of old shingles exist than local code allows for a repair, demolition is the only option that actually fixes the problem.

Is roof removal the same as a full tear off?

yes. Both terms describe stripping the roof down to bare framing though demolition more often implies the framing itself needs work not just the covering.

Does every reroof require a full demolition?

No. A roof with a sound single layer and healthy decking can often be restored without removing everything down to the framing.

How long does a typical roof demolition process take?

A standard single family home usually takes one to two days for strip out and deck replacement, weather and framing damage permitting.
