Roof Installation

Initial Inspection and Planning
Assessment: Begin with a thorough inspection of the existing roof to identify any damage or structural issues.
Material Selection: Choose roofing materials that suit your climate, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Permits: Obtain necessary permits and ensure compliance with local building codes.

Removing the Old Roof
Tear-Off: Remove existing shingles, underlayment, and flashing to expose the roof deck. Debris Management: Use tarps and dumpsters to collect debris and protect landscaping.

Inspecting and Repairing the Roof Deck
Deck Inspection: Check for rotten or damaged areas on the roof deck.
Repairs: Replace compromised sections with new plywood or OSB to ensure a solid foundation.

Installing Drip Edge and Underlayment
Drip Edge: Install metal flashing along the eaves and rakes to direct water away from the fascia.
Underlayment: Lay down a water-resistant barrier (felt paper or synthetic underlayment) over the roof deck for added protection.

Applying Leak Barriers
Valleys and Penetrations: Install leak barriers in roof valleys and around chimneys, vents, and skylights to prevent water infiltration.

Cleanup and Final Inspection
Debris Removal: Clean up all debris, nails, and leftover materials from the site.
Inspection: Conduct a final inspection to ensure all components are properly installed and the roof is watertight.
