What Comes Off First on a Roof Replacement in Prescott
A roof replacement in Prescott starts with everything in the dumpster. That is not us being fussy. It is the only way anyone finds out what the decking has been doing under two decades of shingles.
Layovers are common on older houses around here, and they are why so many roofs fail early. A new roof laid over a wet deck is a countdown, not a repair.
- All existing layers stripped, however many there are
- The whole deck walked and probed once it is bare
- Bad sheets replaced and priced per sheet, shown to you first
- New underlayment, valley protection, flashing and boots throughout
Old Decking and What We Expect to Find
Prescott grew up around the Cairo and Fulton Railroad in the eighteen seventies. The town's building has been slowing since 1980. Most houses here predate modern roofing practice by a wide margin.
That shapes what a tear-off turns up.
Plank Decking Instead of Sheathing
Older homes were decked with spaced boards, not plywood. Modern shingles need continuous support, so gaps get sheeted over before anything goes down.
Nail Holes From Two or Three Roofs
Every previous roof left its fasteners. Wood with that many holes eventually stops gripping, which is why some decks come off with the shingles.
Water Damage Nobody Reported
Slow leaks around chimneys and valleys rot quietly. On a fifty year old roof the surprise is usually at the low end of a valley.
What Goes On Over the New Deck
- Synthetic underlayment across the entire deck
- Ice and water protection in valleys and around every penetration
- New step and counter-flashing at walls and chimneys
- IKO Dynasty shingles, carrying a lifetime manufacturer warranty
- New pipe boots and vent collars, never reused
- Ridge ventilation balanced against the attic intake
Reusing old boots is a shortcut that shows up in year two. Rubber that has already spent fifteen years in Arkansas sun has nothing left in it.
The same goes for flashing. Bending old metal back into place saves an hour and costs you a wall a few winters later.
Getting the Job on the Calendar
- Free roof inspection. Photos of the whole roof, including the attic side.
- Written proposal. Shingle, color, flashing detail and decking allowance, all itemized.
- Permit question settled. We check what your specific address requires before we schedule.
- Scheduling. Most jobs land one to three weeks after you sign.
- Install. Most homes are stripped and finished in one day.
- Final walk. We go over the roof and the yard with you before we leave.
Roofs Built for Long Humid Summers
Southwest Arkansas summers are long, damp and hot. Shingles here spend more of the year working than they would almost anywhere north of us.
That makes ventilation part of the roof rather than an accessory. It also makes flashing detail matter more than shingle brand, because humidity finds every seam eventually.
Houses in Rosston, Bodcaw and Cale sit on the same rural routes we run weekly.
Rural properties get one extra consideration. Access for a dumpster and a material drop is worth settling at the estimate rather than on install morning.
Feedback After a New Roof in Prescott
MIAugust 2026 · Google
★★★★★This company sent a sales agent to my very rural lakehouse to give me an estimate. He was very professional, precise, and knowledgeable. Within hours, he sent a quote with a color chart. The price was very reasonable and below what I have read on other research pages. The installation process started within days with the actual owner helping with the install. It was more than just "another" install. The service provided made it feel like a friendship with high standards. They even flowed water through the system to make sure the downspouts cleared the water efficiently and adjusted if needed. Extremely recommend this company. Complete installation on a 2500 sq home took less that 3 hours. Thank you Nate and Steve for a job well done!

★★★★★Extended my roof on my old frame house and fixed my persistent leak for good . Got it done quickly to get me out of the recurring downpours we have these days.

★★★★★I recently had gutters installed. Where the flexible part went into my french drain was a little crooked. I told him it was good enough and it didn't warrant completely redoing the gutters. He insisted that good enough wasn't good enough. He replaced the whole front gutter again and moved the new one he took down to the back of my house. I would recommend Ark roof and gutters to everyone. He definitely goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are 100% satisfied

★★★★★We were referred to Ark R&G. Steve Kalasz contacted us very quickly. Greatly appreciated and he was on property within 2 days. His professionalism and customer care stood out. He was very thorough. Walked around with my husband so everyone was on the same page. He took his time to explain and answer all of our questions. He did not pressure us. We said we would like to think about it after having met a few other company reps. We decided to go with Ark R&G. If I had known better I actually would have thought Steve was part owner of the company that's how well spoken and how he presented himself as part of the team and their commitment to customer satisfaction 5☆

★★★★★I found Ark Roofing’s business card at Bakes by Bree and was delighted to see they were local. Called them the same day I found out I had roof damage and Nate immediately came by to check on it. He explained everything thoroughly and in a way anybody could understand. He definitely knows his stuff!!! As soon as I found out I was missing a ridge vent, I called them to schedule an appointment and they were getting it done the next day! 10/10 recommend them for all your roofing needs!! Will be using the in the future!

★★★★★When we started looking at roof repairs/roof replacement I contacted 3 companies to do an inspection and give me a quote. We ended up going with Ark Roofing and Gutters LLC because Nate was personable, knowledgeable, quick to answer questions/provide support and was not a pushy salesman. He gave us the facts and allowed us to make the decision on having a repair vs a replacement based on our goals, wants and needs. The whole process from initial phone call to completing the roof replacement was very fast and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this company.

★★★★★Nate took care of me from day one until the job was done to my satisfaction. It looks so great, I can't stop praising God for sending him our way. If you need a new roof, speak to Nate, the owner of Ark Roofing and Gutters LLC. He will give you an honest quote, a quality job and a roof that will look great and protect your home for years to come.

★★★★★Nate and his crew did a fantastic job removing the old gutters and installing the new 6" seamless gutters. Also, adding hydroflo guards to block pine needles and other debris. A section of fascia was also well repaired. I was pleased with the professional work ethic and friendliness. I highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you

Roof Replacement in Prescott FAQs
How much decking will need replacing?
Nobody honestly knows until the old roof is off. We price it per sheet in the proposal so there is no surprise number later.
My house has plank decking. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, but it usually needs sheeting over. We tell you that at the estimate, not on install day.
Can you do it in one day?
Most homes here, yes. Larger or steeper roofs run into a second day.
What about a permit?
We check what your address requires before scheduling. Rules differ inside and outside city limits.
Do you take the old roof away?
Yes. Everything leaves the same day, including the nails in your yard.
Is financing available?
Yes, through partner lenders. We lay out the options at the free estimate.
How soon can you start?
Usually one to three weeks after signing, depending on the season.
What if it rains during the job?
We only strip what we can dry in the same day. Weather moves the schedule, not your ceiling.
