What is Roof Replacement?

Roof replacement means removing an existing roof down to the deck and installing a completely new roofing system, rather than patching or repairing what's already there. It's the right call when a roof is too old, too damaged, or has too many underlying issues for a repair to solve.

As a GAF Master Elite contractor, J&L Roofing installs replacement roofing systems to a standard reviewed and approved by GAF itself, a certification held by only 3% of roofing contractors in North America.

Roofing crew on a residential roof

Knowing when to repair versus replace isn't always obvious, which is why we inspect the full roof before recommending anything. If replacement is the right call, owner Luke Hoffman is on-site for the entire process, and most residential replacements are completed in a single day, with all debris loaded and removed before we leave.

Signs It's Time for a Replacement

  • Curling, cracked, or missing shingles
  • Leaks, sagging, or visible daylight in the attic
  • Same crew for over 18 years
  • Owner on site from Estimate to completion
  • Owner Supervises project
  • GAF Master Elite

A roof doesn't always fail all at once. Sometimes it's a slow decline: shingles that have lost their granules, flashing that's pulled away, or a roof that's simply outlived its expected lifespan. If your roof is showing multiple signs of wear, a replacement often costs less over time than repeated repairs. J&L Roofing will give you a straight answer on whether your roof needs a repair or a full replacement, based on what we actually find during the inspection.

I had my roof done by J&L roofing a week ago. It was a great experience working with Luke. After the estimate he emailed me then followed up later that night to ask if I had any questions, Which I did. I sent him pictures and he explained everything to me step by step. He had the best rate and the day of the work to start he showed up and talked me thru what to expect for the day. His guys tented and cleaned as they went. No issues at all with anything. After they were done he let me know if there was any concerns around the porches and even fixed some of the parts that weren't even part of the roof. He just saw something and went that extra mile for me. No extra cost. The roof was beautiful! I am very happy with the outcome of everything and the follow ups and going the extra mile when he just saw something that he could quick fix was amazing. I will definitely be recommending them!

I reached out to J&L Roofing to inquire about my roofing needs. Luke was at my house the next day and spent over an hour with me (in the rain) to answer all of my questions. My shingles were over 35 years old and a rubber roof was starting to fail after 25 years. I instantly felt at ease talking with Luke as he gave me several suggestions about how I could go about doing everything all at once or possibly staggering the work. He was happy to quote the job several ways based on the work I selected. I decided to get all of the work completed at once. Luke is at every job site working alongside his crew. He’s happy to answer any questions you may have along the way. I was amazed at how he and his crew were able to complete all of the work in a day. The men were all courteous and professional and hard working. Clean up was thorough and the completed job looks absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Luke and his crew did a great job on my roof last august . They used top end shingles and it was for a nice price. He kept in contact with me during the process letting me know the schedule. The crew was courteous and took care not to damage anything around the house. They cleaned up nice upon completion. I would definitely use this company again. Joe k. Douglassville pa
