Add New Life into Your Roof: Roof Replacement Services in Warwick, Rhode Island, from TKO Builders, LLC

Many homeowners assume a few leaks or missing shingles only require minor repairs. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, or shows signs of sagging, a full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. At TKO Builders, we conduct a detailed roof inspection to assess the overall structural integrity, ventilation, and decking. This allows us to give you an honest recommendation tailored to your situation—not just a surface-level fix.

Roof replacement costs vary based on roofing material, the size and slope of your roof, underlayment condition, and any additional upgrades like ice and water shield or ridge vent installation. Local permitting requirements and disposal fees can also play a role. At TKO Builders, we provide transparent, line-item estimates so you can see exactly where your investment is going. We also guide you through optional upgrades that add long-term value.

Most roof replacements in Warwick take one to three days, weather permitting. However, preparation—including permits, materials delivery, and initial inspection—can take up to a week beforehand. At TKO Builders, we believe in setting realistic expectations: you’ll get a clear schedule up front, and we keep you updated every step of the way so there are no surprises.

A full roof replacement includes stripping off old materials down to the decking, inspecting for damage, replacing any rotten wood, installing new underlayment, flashing, ice and water barriers (where needed), and finally installing the new roofing system. We also inspect and address ventilation issues, which is often overlooked by other contractors but crucial to roof longevity.

Not necessarily. Most homeowners remain in their homes during the replacement process. It can be noisy and disruptive, especially if you work from home or have pets, but it's entirely safe. At TKO Builders, we do everything we can to minimize the disruption to your daily life, including maintaining clean work zones and giving you advance notice of especially noisy phases.

Rhode Island’s climate—with heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and nor’easters—can accelerate wear on roofing materials. Poor ventilation and ice dams are common issues in this region. TKO Builders specializes in roofing systems built for New England weather, including proper insulation, venting, and ice/water shield applications to prevent common winter-related damage.

We offer architectural asphalt shingles, designer shingles, metal options, and synthetic slate alternatives. Each comes with its own pros and cons in terms of durability, aesthetics, and budget. We help you choose the best material based on your home’s needs, long-term value, and local climate conditions—explaining how each performs over time.

One common myth is that all you need is a new layer of shingles. In reality, installing new shingles over old ones often hides structural issues and voids warranties. Another misconception is that all contractors are the same. TKO Builders distinguishes itself with certified installers, full tear-offs, and warranties backed by both manufacturer and labor guarantees.

Absolutely. A new roof not only improves curb appeal but also reassures potential buyers about your home's integrity. In fact, roofing consistently ranks as one of the top home improvement projects for ROI. TKO Builders provides documentation and transferable warranties, which are valuable assets if you plan to sell your home.

A high-quality asphalt shingle roof installed by TKO Builders can last 25 to 30 years or more, depending on ventilation, maintenance, and exposure to severe weather. Premium materials like metal or synthetic options can last 40–50 years. We offer options with enhanced durability for coastal exposure and high-wind zones common in Rhode Island.
