A written decision record
Scope, selected system, pricing assumptions, and production next steps are documented so the project can move forward from a shared understanding.
Full tear-off and install
Roof replacement done in 1 to 3 days, not 1 to 3 weeks
Complete tear-off, deck inspection, new underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and premium architectural shingles. Crews show up on time, clean up with a magnetic sweep, and document the system-specific material and mechanical workmanship warranty.
Scope, access, and site conditions are reviewed before work is scheduled.
A full roof replacement is the single biggest protection investment you make in your home. Done right, it buys you 25 to 30 years of peace of mind. Done wrong, you are calling another roofer in five.
Arch City tears every roof down to the deck. We do not roof over. We inspect every square foot of plywood for rot, soft spots, and old nail damage, then rebuild the system correctly: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys and eaves, new flashing at every penetration, and GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles.
Most houses take 1 to 3 days. You get one point of contact, a written scope, and photos of every stage. No surprises at closeout.

Before you begin
Your questions, answered.
How long does a full replacement take?
Most single-family homes are torn off, re-decked if needed, and fully installed in 1 to 3 days. We do not leave a roof open overnight.
Do I have to be home during the work?
No. You do not need to be on site. We recommend moving cars out of the driveway and taking anything fragile off the walls, since there is vibration during tear-off.
What if you find rotten decking?
We price deck replacement at $65 per 4x8 sheet, flat. We photograph every bad section before we cover it and you approve the final count at closeout. No mystery charges.
Do you pull the permit?
Yes. We pull every permit in both Missouri and Illinois and schedule the final inspection. You do not deal with the city.
What is the warranty?
For the standard architectural shingle system, you get a 40-year limited shingle material warranty plus a 4-year mechanical workmanship warranty covering installation quality. 3-tab shingles, torch-down, and TPO each have their own system-specific warranty terms.
