- Warranty: Professional installation often comes with warranties on materials and workmanship.
- Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents and ensures compliance with local building codes.
Steps in the Residential Roof Installation Process
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your needs and assess the current state of your roof. This step includes:
- Inspection: A detailed inspection of the existing roof structure.
- Material Selection: Discussing the best materials for your roof based on durability, cost, and style.
- Estimate: Providing a transparent estimate of the cost and timeline.
2. Preparation and Planning
Preparation is key to a smooth installation process. This involves:
- Obtaining Permits: Ensuring all necessary permits are secured.
- Scheduling: Setting a timeline that minimizes disruption to your daily life.
- Site Preparation: Protecting your property, including covering plants and outdoor furniture.
3. Removing the Old Roof
Removing the old roof is a crucial step to ensure a solid foundation for the new one. This includes:
- Tearing Off: Carefully removing old shingles and underlayment.
- Debris Removal: Cleaning up debris to keep the site safe and tidy.
4. Repairing the Roof Structure
Before installing the new roof, any structural issues must be addressed:
- Replacing Damaged Wood: Fixing or replacing damaged roof decking.
- Inspecting for Pests: Ensuring there are no pest infestations that could affect the new roof.
5. Installing the New Roof
This is where the magic happens. The installation includes:
