Tear-off to bare deck
Everything comes off and every sheet is walked. Soft or delaminated boards are replaced at the per-sheet rate quoted in the estimate, so the sum can move but the rate cannot.
Roof Replacement in Folsom, NJ
The shingle is the part you choose. The parts underneath it are the part that decides how long it lasts, and they are all specified in writing by somebody other than us.

The short version
A replacement is a system going on, not a product. Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and in the valleys, underlayment across the field, drip edge, a sealed starter course at the eaves and the rakes, the field shingles at the specified exposure and nail count, then hip and ridge. Each of those has a published instruction, and each is a place a roof quietly loses its warranty.
What is covered
What the job takes in
Eaves, valleys and edges first
Ice-and-water membrane where water backs up, new drip edge, and a sealed starter course at the eaves and the rakes. The starter is the single most skipped component in this trade.
Field shingles to the published pattern
Exposure, nail placement and nail count exactly as the instructions give them. It is the fastening, not the shingle, that carries the wind rating.
Ventilation balanced, then ridge
Intake at the soffits checked before exhaust is added at the ridge, because adding exhaust to a blocked intake makes an attic worse rather than better.
Worth knowing
What the estimate names
The shingle line, the underlayment, the starter, the hip and ridge product and the ventilation, each by its actual product name rather than as 'premium materials'. You can look every one of them up before you agree to anything, which is the point of writing it that way.
