What to know about our award-winning roofing process
Before we start laying shingles, we will:
Provide you with a cost estimate
We will visit your home and take all the measurements we need to properly quote your roof repair or roof replacement project.
Prepare for installation
We will order all the necessary materials in preparation for the roof installation project and schedule service with you.
Arrive for installation
We’ll remind you in the days before your installation of the project start date and time. We will also give you a list of action items to do before construction begins, such as removing valuables from shelves and walls, so that you’re ready to go when installation day arrives. Our team will show up on time and in uniform.
Perform a site safety inspection
We want to make sure that the workers and the homeowners are safe throughout the process and that everyone knows how to enter and exit the home safely while we roof.
Asphalt shingle installation for new roof projects
Removal of old roof
Before we begin installing the new roof, we remove the old roof to ensure the wood decking underneath is in good condition. If repairs are needed, we address them at this stage.
Installation begins
We begin by installing the ice and water shield barrier to prevent leaks caused by wind-driven rain and ice dams. This barrier is installed everywhere that we think the home may be vulnerable to leaks.
Synthetic breathable felt installed
We will cover the remainder of your roof in synthetic breathable felt, providing an extra layer between the roofing shingles and the roofing deck.
Roof edges secured
This is an important step in the roofing system installation. This step secures your roof’s edges from rain and wind damages. We install F8 Aluminum Drip Edge on all the edges of your roof, as well as GAF Pro Starter Strip Shingles to help guard against shingle blow-offs.
Asphalt shingles installed
Choosing the right shingles and asphalt roofing material is one thing, but the longevity of your new roof depends largely on the quality of the installation. Explore shingle colors on our site.
Roof Ventilation Added
After the asphalt shingles have been installed, we will then install the roof ridge vents to help exhaust heat and moisture from your attic and properly ventilate the new roofing system as well as your home. We install a 12-inch filtered GAF Cobra Snow Country Advanced Ridge Vent using three-inch hand roofing nails. We finish it off with GAF TimberTex Ridge Caps, which offer excellent protection at high-stress areas of your roof.
