Roof Tear-Off Services in Middletown OH

Full Removal of Old Roofing Systems Before Proper Replacement

Woods Roofing & Exteriors provides full roof tear-off services for homeowners in Middletown and surrounding areas. Before we install any new roofing system, we completely remove all layers of old shingles, underlayment, and failed flashing — ensuring a clean deck and long-lasting results.

If your roof is failing, layering over the top is not the answer. We tear it down to build it right.

What’s Included in a Tear-Off

We remove everything down to the wood:

• All shingle layers (including prior re-roofs)
• Synthetic or felt underlayment
• Ice and water barrier, if damaged
• Old flashing around chimneys and vents
• Exposed nails and fasteners
• Rotten decking sections (if present)

Our crews tarp your siding, cover your landscaping, and magnet sweep for nails during cleanup. We leave nothing behind but a clean deck, ready for a new install.

When a Tear-Off Is Required

• Your roof already has multiple layers
• Shingles are curled, soft, or missing
• Leaks have reached the decking
• There's mold or water staining in your attic
• The existing roof was installed improperly
• You want to qualify for a full manufacturer warranty

Many manufacturers will not warranty a roof installed over old materials. A proper tear-off ensures your new roof performs as designed.

Tear-Off vs. Re-Roofing: Know the Difference

Tear-Off:
We strip the roof down to wood and rebuild from the deck up. This is the best long-term option and required for structural repairs.

Re-Roofing:
We install a new layer over existing shingles if conditions allow. Faster and cheaper, but not always recommended.

We’ll inspect your roof and explain which option is best based on age, layers, damage, and warranty goals.

Why We Don’t Cut Corners

Tearing off a roof takes more time, but skipping it often leads to:

• Trapped moisture under new shingles
• Hidden deck rot that spreads
• Raised rooflines that cause flashing problems
• Warranty voids
• Poor attic ventilation

We’ve repaired too many “shortcut roofs” to take that risk with yours.
