What To Expect When Getting Your Roof Done...

​Roof installation is a big investment and needs to be handled properly. Let’s take a closer look at the installation process.

Planning
Once you’ve selected the right roofing materials for your home, a contractor will go over the details before beginning the job, and review the delivered materials to make sure they match your order exactly. The crew will put up tarps and other barriers to protect your home and property during installation.
Removal
If you’re replacing your current roof, the crew will tear it off and dispose of it. In some cases, a new layer of roofing can be added to the old one, saving time and labor costs. However, layering roofing materials can cause the roof to be too heavy for the structure or have other consequences. Some areas, like those with high wind, may require the initial roof covering to be removed; the roofing professional will tell you what works best for your home.
Assessment
If you are tearing off the old roof, the crew will be able to spot any weaknesses or needed repairs. They will keep an eye out for issues like water leakage, rot, or inadequate ventilation. These are issues that can result from installation mistakes, which is why finding the right professional for the job is so important.
Metalwork and Underlayment
The crew can now move forward with installing the drip edges and the underlayment. The underlayment provides an extra layer of protection between your home and the elements. It also allows your shingles to lay flat and neat.
Shingle Installation
Now, it’s time to install the shingles. The amount of time this will take depends on the size and complexity of your roof, as well as the weather. A simple roof installation will typically be a one-day job, but a large home with unique roof features may require a few days or longer. Poor weather conditions, such as storms, wind, or extreme heat can be dangerous for the installation crew and may impact the project schedule. The roofing professional will use his or her best judgment to ensure your roof is completed in a safe and timely manner.
Cleanup and Review
While odds and ends get finished up, the crew will be cleaning your property, making sure no debris or dangerous materials are left over for you to find. The team will make sure the roof meets high standards before calling the job done.
Overall, be prepared for this to be a somewhat messy and loud yet professionally managed experience for you as the homeowner.
