reroofs
Replaces overhead covering
Reroofs is the third-person singular present tense of the verb reroof, meaning to put a new roof on a building.
The work typically involves removing the old roofing materials and replacing them with new ones, though sometimes new shingles are layered over existing ones.
The contractor reroofs about thirty houses each summer.
A homeowner reroofs when the existing roof has deteriorated beyond repair or when upgrading to more durable materials.
