Roof tear-off in Oklahoma City
Jenco Construction strips old roofing down to the deck before installing a new roof, giving Oklahoma City homes a clean base rather than another layer stacked on top.
Chapter 01
What a roof tear-off is
A roof tear-off means removing all existing roofing materials down to the roof deck, rather than installing a new layer over the old one. Jenco's tear-off work covers removing the old materials, inspecting the underlying structure, preparing the deck for the new roof, and cleaning up and removing debris once the job is done.
It also includes evaluating ventilation needs while the deck is exposed, since that is the point in the job when airflow problems are easiest to see and address.

Why a tear-off is worth doing
A tear-off matters most when a roof already has several layers of old roofing, has severe water damage or leaks, or may be hiding structural issues that a new layer would simply cover up. It is also the way to meet local building codes that limit how many layers a roof can carry, and it opens the door to a more energy-efficient roof going in behind it.
For an average Oklahoma City home, a tear-off usually takes about 1 to 2 days; larger or more complex roofs can take longer. A tear-off costs more upfront than adding another shingle layer, but it allows inspection and repair of hidden issues and helps the new roof last as long as it should, which can mean fewer repairs and replacements down the road.
