The roof installation process for a newly constructed home is very different than the process needed for roof replacement on an existing structure. The initial roof installation is an even bigger job because the roof will need to be framed, underlayment installed, and the initial roof covering established. The process of getting permits and final inspections is more involved as well, meaning that it is even more important for you to find the right roofing company for the job.
The roof installation process for a newly constructed home begins with an inspection of the building envelope under construction. This allows your roofing contractor to carefully consider the location of the building, the climate, the structure, and other factors that may influence your roof design. The next phases of roof installation are as follows:
Design: Roofs should be designed with efficiency and longevity in mind. This initial design includes insulation, materials, and slope and is influenced by factors like climate and wind rating.
Proposal: You should receive a written proposal with all relevant details and an estimated cost, schedule, and other details. This should include necessary permits and must be signed and agreed on before work begins.
Installation: A new roof is hopefully a 30-year or more investment, so the workmanship and attention to detail should reflect this. Materials should be installed following manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that original warranties are maintained. Roofers may also need to be certified by the manufacturer.
Final Inspection: Once your roof installation is complete, a final inspection should be conducted to ensure that everything was done according to the written agreement and that you are satisfied with the result.
