Our Roofing Installation Process
Every successful roofing installation begins with a thorough inspection and consultation. We assess your existing roof structure, evaluate the decking for signs of rot or damage, check ventilation pathways, and discuss your goals and budget. This initial assessment allows us to recommend the best materials and approach for your specific situation.
Once we have agreed on a plan, we begin by carefully removing the existing roofing materials down to the deck. We inspect every square foot of sheathing, replacing any compromised sections to ensure a structurally sound foundation. Next, we install an ice and water shield along vulnerable areas such as eaves, valleys, and around penetrations like chimneys and skylights. A high-quality synthetic underlayment goes down over the entire roof deck, providing an additional moisture barrier. Starter strips are applied along the eaves and rakes before we begin laying the shingles or chosen roofing material in precise, overlapping courses. Ridge vents and cap shingles complete the system, creating a unified barrier against the elements. All of our work is completed by Mike and his son, and our trained crew, guaranteeing consistent quality throughout the entire project.
