The Live Oak project guide

Make the existing roof part of the conversation.

Before choosing a roof system, ask how the existing covering and the structure beneath it will be evaluated. Live Oak’s building resources include a Roof/Re-Roof-Over Affidavit, making the proposed assembly a useful early question.

Ask what stays and what is removed.

The presence of a re-roof-over form does not establish that an overlay is suitable for your home. Ask Brehm to explain the existing roof conditions, the proposed removal or installation approach, and which details need review for the specific assembly.

Keep the project contacts complete.

Live Oak emphasizes complete contact details in building applications. Confirm the owner, contractor, and project contacts on your paperwork, and know whom to call about scope or scheduling. Ask what inspection and closeout records you will receive.

A few useful answers

Live Oak roofing questions.

Have a question about your own property? Bring it to the conversation.

Ask Brehm
Does Live Oak’s re-roof-over form mean I can cover my existing roof?

No. A form does not determine whether that approach is suitable or approvable for an individual building. Ask for an evaluation of the existing roof and a clear explanation of the proposed assembly, removal work, and applicable review.

Which contact should I keep for a Live Oak roofing project?

Keep the person coordinating your roofing scope and schedule, along with the relevant permit or inspection contact. Ask how you will be informed about additional work or outstanding documentation. Save that information with the agreed proposal and project records.

Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?

That depends on the roof’s condition and the cause and extent of the problem. Ask Brehm to explain the inspection findings, what a repair would address, and why a broader scope may be recommended. A photo or the age alone does not settle that decision.

What will my roof project cost?

The written scope determines the price. Roof size and design, material choices, existing conditions, access, and related work can all affect the proposal. Ask for an estimate specific to your property and compare what is included before comparing the total.

What brought you here today?

Choose the concern closest to yours. Get a useful starting point for the conversation.

Your starting point · 01

Find the cause before choosing the fix.

The mark on a ceiling is a starting point. A roof inspection helps connect what you can see inside with the conditions above it.

  • Note when the leak appears and which room is affected.
  • Gather photos you can take safely from the ground.
  • Ask what the proposed repair addresses and what remains.
Explore roof repair
Your starting point · 02

Compare the roof system, not just the surface.

A replacement proposal should explain the work beneath and around the visible roofing material, along with the material itself.

  • Ask how existing decking will be evaluated.
  • Discuss flashing, underlayment, and ventilation.
  • Clarify cleanup, documentation, and warranty terms.
Explore roof replacement
Your starting point · 03

Record what changed. Start on the ground.

Share the changes you noticed after the storm, including new stains or visible damage. An inspection is the next step in understanding the condition.

  • Take photos only from a safe location.
  • Note the date and what you observed.
  • Call Brehm to discuss the property and available next steps.

Your starting point · 04

Make the first conversation count.

You do not need to arrive with the roof already figured out. Bring your goals, the property details, and the questions you want answered.

  • Share your plans for the home or building.
  • Gather any prior repair and warranty records.
  • Compare options after the roof condition is understood.

Tile roofing

Start with suitability for the structure.

If you like the shape and character of tile, ask whether it fits your roof design and structure. Confirm applicable property guidance and the proposed supporting roof system.

Low-slope roofing

The roof’s shape changes the conversation.

A low-slope section needs an approach suited to its design. Ask about the proposed system, drainage, penetrations, and transitions to adjoining roof areas.

The part you see every day.

Shingles, metal, tile, and other systems give the roof its visible surface. Product selection belongs alongside the roof design and the details underneath.

A useful question:
Which product is proposed, and why does it fit this roof?

A layer beneath the visible covering.

Underlayment is part of the roof assembly beneath the primary covering. Ask which product and installation details are included in the scope.

A useful question:
What underlayment is included in the proposal?

Pay attention where materials meet.

Roof-to-wall transitions, edges, and penetrations deserve specific attention. Ask how the proposal handles these details and any existing flashing.

A useful question:
Which flashing will be replaced, and which will be evaluated?

The surface that supports the assembly.

Existing decking is a key part of the inspection and project conversation. Ask how concealed conditions will be handled if they become visible during the work.

A useful question:
How will any additional decking work be documented and approved?

Part of the whole-roof conversation.

Discuss the existing intake and exhaust arrangement and how it relates to the proposed roof. The appropriate approach depends on the building and roof design.

A useful question:
How is ventilation being evaluated for this property?
