They can recommend whether the deck, rafters or other underlying support needs partial repairs or replacement. Some garage roof replacement specialists may include replacing or reinforcing underlying roof structures as part of the service. Clarify this with your tradesperson, as you may have to hire a carpenter to do this.

They can also install other roof components like flashing. After all, the main parts of the replacement roof are installed, your tradesman can inspect the roof for any flaws like excess felt.
