Planning the roof system

We begin with the roof design and project requirements. Roof pitch, valleys, transitions, dormers, chimneys, vents and wall intersections all affect how water must be directed away from the structure. Material choice and color are considered alongside performance.

Preparing for installation

A sound deck provides the base for the entire system. Underlayment, edge protection, flashing and ventilation components are installed in the correct sequence before the field shingles are completed.

A coordinated finish

Roofing work must fit the construction schedule without sacrificing detail. The final phase includes ridge and hip finishing, penetration checks, debris removal and a review of the completed roof.

Common questions

Questions about new roof construction

When should a roofer become involved in a new build?

Early involvement is useful, especially when the plans include complex valleys, roof-to-wall transitions, multiple penetrations or specific ventilation requirements.

Can architectural shingles be used on new construction?

Yes. Architectural shingles are a popular new-home option because their layered profile adds dimension and curb appeal.
