Hiring the right roofer is important. Our attention to detail, quality products and quality craftsmanship is what sets us apart from our competition.
Roof inspection
Inspection of the wood decking is a first step. Any soft wet or rotted piece needs to be replaced. This is very important because only when you have a solid base for your roofing structure your shingles will stay intact. Also, wood sheeting needs to be inspected to make sure that it is attached to the roof rafters the right way. You should have at least one nail every 12 inches.
Drip edge installation
After wood decking is prepared we install drip edge at all edges of the roof. Drip edge is a piece of metal bent at 90 degrees to prevent rain from getting underneath roofing material on all edges.
Ice and water shield installation
Next step is installing "ice and water shield" which is a special type of roofing underlayment. Ice and water shield sticks to the wood decking which prevents any water leaks. It must be installed at the bottom of the roof (usually up to 36 inches from the roof bottom edge) and at all roof penetrations (chimneys, pipe flanges, roof connections, etc.)
Roofing felt installation
After ice and water shield is applied, the rest of the roof needs to be cover with roofing felt. Roofing felt creates a vapor barrier and prevents shingles from sticking to the wood. We always use heavy duty #30 roofing felt.
New roofing installation
After the above steps are completed and the base is ready, we start laying out the new roof.
Site cleanup
We clean jobsite daily. We believe that we have to leave our jobsite cleaner than it was before we started the project.
