New roof with improved underlay and a stronger overall result.

Roof replacement that stays tight in storms — with the right underlay and details

A roof replacement is one of the most important things you can do to protect your house. The roof takes it all: rain, wind, snow and sun, year after year. That’s why it’s not enough to replace what you see. A good roof replacement is about the build‑up: underlay/waterproofing, battens, connections, penetrations and metal details. We do roof replacements with professional care — especially important in Öland’s exposed weather.

We start by looking at the roof’s condition and risk points: eaves, ridge, valleys, penetrations and the connection to the chimney. Many leaks start in the details, not in the middle of the roof. When we build a new roof, we focus on the underlay and sequence, and make sure critical steps aren’t rushed. That’s the difference between a roof that stays tight “in good weather” and a roof you can trust when it’s windy and raining for real.

In coastal areas, robust details are extra important. Fixings, flashings and connections must handle wind load and driving rain. We work carefully on metal details and make sure water is led away as it should. We also like to discuss complementary items often tied to the roof: gutters, fascia boards, roof safety and other details that affect both function and appearance.

Roof replacements require good planning, not least to minimize risk during the work. We plan so the roof is never left in an unsafe state and communicate clearly about timeline and next steps. You should feel in control even if you don’t want to follow every nail.

You get a setup that fits your situation: fixed price when scope is clear, or hourly if the roof can hide issues that need to be handled once opened. The goal is a roof that is tight, good‑looking and built to a professional standard — so you can relax even when the weather isn’t kind.

FAQ about roof replacement

Quick answers about scope, areas and how to get started.

When is it time to replace a roof?

Signs can be cracked/porous tiles, recurring leaks, poor connections at penetrations, or underlay/details that are failing. Sometimes it shows as discoloration or moisture in the attic/structure.

We assess on site what’s reasonable: targeted fixes or a full replacement. The key is a tight, robust roof.

What’s most important in a roof replacement?

Underwork and details: underlay, battens, connections, penetrations and water drainage. A roof can look good but still be vulnerable if those parts aren’t right.

We focus on building a roof that holds up in practice and handles Öland’s weather. That gives both peace of mind and fewer future issues.

How does coastal wind affect a roof?

Wind load can strain fixings and details, especially in exposed locations. That’s why critical points need to be robust.

We’re used to coastal conditions and put extra focus on the areas where weather usually “finds a way in”. That often separates an okay roof from a really good one.

Can you help with roof safety and details?

Roof safety and good details make service and future maintenance easier. What’s needed depends on roof type, pitch and how the house is used.

At a site visit we discuss what’s practical and reasonable and ensure the whole solution is thought‑through — not piecemeal.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Time depends on roof size, complexity and weather conditions. A simple roof is faster, while more angles and penetrations require more work.

We give a reasonable timeline after seeing the roof and plan the work methodically so the house stays protected throughout.

Fixed quote or hourly for roof replacement?

Roof replacements are often straightforward to scope, so fixed quotes are common. At the same time, some parts depend on what you find when opening up.

We discuss what feels safe for you and check in clearly if anything affects scope or priorities during the work.

How do you price a roof replacement?

Roof size, pitch and number of penetrations affect the price most. Material choice and flashing details also matter.

We review the roof and give a clear picture of scope and setup.

Do you take roofing jobs in the Kalmar area?

Yes. We primarily work on Öland but also take projects in Kalmar municipality when it fits.
