A clean start begins with a complete tear-off — Wheeler's Roofing removes your old roof down to the deck so problems get caught and your new roof is built right, across Rome and Northwest Georgia.
A roof tear-off is the complete removal of your existing roof down to the deck. It's the honest, do-it-right way to replace a roof: instead of layering new material over old problems, we strip everything off so we can see and fix what's underneath.
Tearing off lets us inspect the roof decking, replace any rotted or damaged sections, and start your new roof on a clean, sound foundation. It's the difference between a roof that looks new and a roof that actually is.
As a family-owned, licensed and insured contractor, we handle the tear-off cleanly and safely — protecting your property, hauling away all debris, and leaving the site ready for a quality install.
What a complete tear-off does that a roof-over can't.
Full access to inspect and repair the decking underneath.
A sound, clean surface for a proper new install.
Avoids stacking layers that overload the structure.
All old material hauled away, site left clean.
It's sometimes possible to install a new roof over an existing one, but it hides exactly what you most need to see — the condition of the deck. Rot, soft spots, and old damage stay buried, and any new roof is only as good as what's beneath it.
A tear-off removes that risk. We strip the roof to the deck, address any issues, and build your new roof on a foundation we know is sound. It also avoids the extra weight and shortened lifespan that come with layering.
It's more work up front, but it's the approach that gives you a roof that lasts — and that's the standard we hold to.
Every tear-off is done safely, cleanly, and with the deck in mind.

Because it hides the deck’s condition and stacks weight on your structure. A tear-off lets us inspect and repair the decking and build your new roof on a sound foundation — the only way to know what you’re really getting.
We work clean. We protect your property and landscaping, haul away all the old material, and finish with a magnetic sweep to pick up stray nails.
