Before Install: Full Inspection
Your roof should go through a full inspection before any work is done or agreed on. One of our Pro experts will judge the state of your roof from the ground and take a closer look from the attic if they feel it is needed.
The goal of an inspection is to give a fair and accurate estimate of your roof’s needs. All costs and needs will be included in the estimate, from how many squares of shingles to the length of the eaves. This way the full cost of the job can be in the quote.
5 Phases of Roof Installation
Phase 1: Material Delivery
Once you have picked Pro as your roofer, we will set a start date. We will choose where to bring the materials to your home as well. We will find a spot to place all the materials that will keep them away from your day to day life. It is a good idea to makes sure all plants, chairs or other items are moved away from this spot. This will give our team room to move around your home. Our team will bring their tools and gear with them each day.
Phase 2: Removing The Old Roof
The removal phase is the phase with the most mess. Our crew will lay out tarps and boards to keep the exterior of your home free from harm. Our team will scrape off your roof down to the deck. There will be a lot of debris falling from the roof. The tarps will be there to catch it all. You will want to keep all windows and doors closed.
While taking off the old roof, our crew will work to clean up the trash. Clean-up will continue as they move on to the install. We pledge to keep your property as clean as we found it.
Phase 3: Preparing The Deck For Install
The deck of your roof is made of plywood and covers your roof’s structural beams. While we try to find all pieces that need to be replaced in the inspection, there can be damage that can only be seen once the old roof has been removed. We will check the deck for any rot and replace the deck as needed.
With a strong deck, our team will install an ice & water shield as well as our Pro Synthetic Underlayment. During this process, we will also install any all ridge or box vents.
Phase 4: Install The Flashing
Our team will measure, cut, bend, and install the flashing that protects each edge and weak point of your roof. Roof penetrations and edges are the most vulnerable spots on a roof. Drip edges must go in before any shingles can be installed. Without the flashing in place, water can seep on to the deck during a storm.
Phase 5: Shingle Application
Pro starts out the install on all roofs we build with starter shingles. These are placed along the roof’s low edges. These shingles give the roofers a straight line to work with as they nail down the rest of the materials. Our roofing experts will then being installing your strip, dimensional, or premium shingles. This phase of the install ends at the roof’s peak where we use thick cap shingles to form a bridge between the two sections.
