We Understand Church Roofing Needs

With their high elevation, steep gradients, and intricate shapes, the unique architectural features of church roofs demand professional, experienced craftsmanship. They’re also rooted in historical significance that needs to be preserved. At NewRüf, we use high-quality materials to safeguard your church roof’s architectural and historical essence.

Churches often feature distinctive architectural elements like steeples, dramatic gradients, and complex shapes that set them apart from typical commercial or residential buildings. These characteristics, combined with the age and historical significance of many religious structures, require skill, sensitivity, and experience beyond standard roofing practices.

We recognize that each church is unique, with its own specific needs and budget considerations. That’s why we offer tailored solutions and affordable options without compromising on quality. Our mission is to provide expert church roofing services that not only protect your sacred space from the elements but also preserve its architectural integrity and spiritual essence for generations to come.

Whether your church is protected by metal, shingle, tile, flat, or spray foam roofing, we will cater our church roofing services to your building’s existing construction — or, if necessary, make improvements to its existing structure.
Hiring a specialized church roofing company like NewRüf ensures that your place of worship receives the care and attention it deserves. Our team of seasoned professionals is well-versed in navigating the complexities of church roofs — from selecting appropriate materials to implementing safety measures that protect both the building and its occupants.

Common Challenges of Church Roofing

Church roofs present unique challenges that set them apart from typical residential or commercial roofing projects. At NewRüf, we’ve encountered and overcome a wide range of issues that are specific to church roofing. Here are some of the most common challenges we face:

Steeple and High-Elevation Access:

Steeples, while iconic, are particularly vulnerable to weather damage. Their height and exposure make them susceptible to high winds and hail, which can lead to missing or damaged roofing materials. Because they’re difficult to access, damage often goes unnoticed for extended periods, potentially causing significant underlying issues.

Steep Roof Gradients and Special Equipment Requirement:

Many sanctuaries feature extremely steep roofs, requiring specialized equipment and expertise for safe access. This can lead to neglect of crucial maintenance tasks such as painting metal roofs, replacing flashing, or repairing damaged shingles and fascia.

Flat Roofs and Drainage Issues:

Connected buildings — like church offices, gyms, or annexes — often have flat roofs. These are prone to drainage issues and leaks, especially if not properly maintained. Additionally, rooftop mechanical equipment can inadvertently damage the roofing material during installation or servicing.

Historic Architectural Features:

Older churches may have unique architectural elements like built-in or concealed gutters. While aesthetically pleasing, these hidden systems are prone to clogging and damage, leading to leaks that can be challenging to locate and repair.

Balancing Preservation and Modernization:

Many churches hold historical significance, requiring a delicate balance between preserving original features and implementing modern roofing solutions for better protection and energy efficiency.

Minimizing Disruption:

Roofing work must often be carried out while the church remains operational, requiring careful planning to minimize disruption to services and community activities.

At NewRüf, we rise to meet these challenges. Our team of experienced church roofing professionals is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and specialized equipment necessary to address these unique issues.

We pride ourselves on providing custom solutions that respect the architectural integrity of your church while ensuring long-lasting protection. Whether it’s a minor repair or a complete roof replacement, we approach each project with the care and expertise it deserves, ensuring your church roofing stands strong for years to come.

Choosing the Right Church Roofing Company

We know that many churches operate on limited budgets, necessitating cost-effective solutions that don't compromise on quality or longevity. At NewRüf, we’ll perform a comprehensive inspection and provide transparent and detailed service estimates based on our findings. Along the way, we’ll provide you with education and decision-making support so that you feel confident in the direction of your church roofing replacement or repair service.

Church Roof Replacement & Repair

Sometimes it might be obvious that your church roof needs repair. You might notice visible water damage resulting from leaks. In other cases, the signs of repair might be more subtle, such as a musty, lingering odor or minor damage to vents and gutters. If you suspect your church roof needs repair, contact NewRüf right away before the damage gets worse. We will perform a church roofing assessment in which we identify what’s causing the problem.

After our evaluation, we will recommend and substantiate whether your church roof needs to be repaired or replaced. If church roof replacement is necessary, it may require a partial layover or a full replacement.

If perhaps you’ve experienced emergency roof damage — such as storm or wind damage — the last thing you want is for the sacred objects inside your church to be exposed to the outside elements, unprotected. We understand the importance and urgency of these moments and will respond immediately by covering sensitive areas until our emergency storm damage repair services have been completed.

Preventative Maintenance for Church Roofs

Preserving the integrity of your church’s roof is crucial for protecting both the worship space and its congregation. At NewRüf, we emphasize the importance of regular preventative maintenance and inspection to extend the life of your church roof and avoid costly repairs down the line.

Regular inspections and maintenance can expose potential issues before they escalate into major problems, saving your church significant time and money over time. Our team of experienced professionals can develop a personalized maintenance program that addresses the specific needs of your church’s roofing system.

The type of maintenance required varies depending on the roofing material used on your church. For instance, asphalt shingle roofs benefit from regular cleaning, moss, and algae removal, and prompt repairs of any damaged or missing shingles. Tile roofs, while generally low-maintenance, still require periodic inspections to check for cracked or displaced tiles.

It’s important to note that even minor issues if left unaddressed, can lead to significant damage. A small leak, for example, can cause extensive water damage to the underlying structure if not promptly repaired. By implementing a proactive maintenance strategy, you can catch these issues early, preventing more serious damage and extending the overall lifespan of your church’s roof.

At NewRüf, we offer comprehensive maintenance services tailored to your unique church roofing requirements. Our team is trained to spot early signs of wear and tear, address potential problem areas, and ensure your roof continues to provide optimal protection for your sacred space. By entrusting your church’s roof maintenance to the professionals at NewRüf, you’re not just preserving your place of worship – you’re safeguarding a community cornerstone for generations to come.

NewRuf is a great company. They did an outstanding job replacing/ repairing my roof, gutters and added a vent for my kitchen microwave exhaust. They explained the entire process before they did any work. They also showed me some of the spots that needed to be addressed before the new roof was installed. All in all a great experience!

An update since original post below: After the new roof, we had a "dead valley" area that would leak but only in very heavy rain. I had noted this before they re-roofed it and said they would be sure to address. Well, after the re-roof it happened again a couple times, again only after heavy rains. Contacted them again and they completely took care of it. Said the original flashing just wasn't done properly and re-did that entire section. Bonus, while at it they also repaired a couple holes squirrels had made. Jonathan Ketterman did a good job evaluating our roof for damage and determining we had some hail damage, but more importantly had quite a bit of high wind damage. This included extensive photos and our insurance company confirmed this and covered the roof replacement. The roofing replacement materials and workmanship were excellent. Our windows, landscaping, etc. were all covered well to avoid damage during the tear-off of the old roof. They also updated our roof to ridge vents instead of the numerous "turtle vents" that had been there from new, at no extra cost (this gives a cleaner look that also removes numerous potential leak spots). A year or two before I had re-nailed some shingles back up that had slid down, thinking the last roofers must not have used enough nails. But turned out they had been bent back by high winds that had torn them loose, which the pictures made obvious by the lines/creases across many shingle tabs.

Joey Montelango went out of his way to make getting a new roof a very easy and stress-free process! Highly recommend him! He was very personable and we even talked a bit about fishing because the paperwork part went so quickly. The quality of work from this company is amazing.
