A new roof is only as good as the surface beneath it. M&E Metal Roofing does complete, clean tear-offs down to the deck across Anniston and Calhoun County.
A roof tear-off is the complete removal of your old roofing material down to the deck. It's the right first step before most roof replacements — and it's where a roof that lasts is set apart from one that doesn't.
Some roofers try to save time by laying new material over the old roof. That hides problems in the decking, adds weight, can shorten the life of the new roof, and may void the manufacturer warranty. M&E Metal Roofing does a full tear-off so we can inspect the deck, fix what's underneath, and build your new roof on a sound surface.
We're locally owned and operated by Donny Muse and John Elders, serving Anniston and all of Calhoun County. We work clean, protect your property, and haul away all the debris when we're done.
Going down to the deck is the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails early.
With the old roof gone, we can see and repair the decking — the foundation your new roof sits on.
A single, properly built roof weighs less and performs better than layers stacked on top of each other.
Many manufacturer warranties require a tear-off — layering over old roofing can void coverage.
We protect your property, remove all debris, and leave a clean surface ready for the new roof.
The decking under your roof can hide rot, water damage, and weak spots you'd never see with old roofing covering it. If you roof over those problems, they keep getting worse — and sooner or later they come back as leaks and sagging.
A full tear-off lets us catch and fix those issues first, so your new roof is built on a solid, dry deck. It also keeps your roof to a single layer, which is lighter, performs better, and is required by many warranties.
We handle the whole process cleanly: protecting landscaping and siding, removing the old material, and hauling away every bit of debris so your property is left tidy.
Every tear-off we do protects your property and sets up a sound new roof.
In most cases a full tear-off is the right call. Roofing over old material hides deck problems, adds weight, can shorten the new roof's life, and may void the warranty. We'll give you an honest recommendation for your roof.
We work clean — protecting your landscaping and siding, removing all debris, and running a magnetic sweep for stray nails. You shouldn't be left with a mess when we're done.
Often, yes — tear-off is exactly when hidden rot or damaged decking shows up. We'll show you what we find and repair it before the new roof goes on.
It's typically done in the same project as your replacement, often within the first part of the job. Timing depends on the roof's size and complexity.
We haul it all away and dispose of it properly as part of the job — you don't have to deal with it.
