Where quality workmanship and competitive prices meet.
A shingle roof installation requires a licensed, insured, and bonded roofing contractor who knows the ins and outs of the entire process so well that you don’t have a thing to worry about. But sometimes, our anxieties get the best of us, especially when we don’t understand what’s happening.
This blog will help you break down how a professional shingle roof installation is going to take place.
Our experts take their safety and that of each other quite seriously, so they have a routine check system before any roof work begins. This includes checking their harnesses, safety vests, and equipment and having first-aid on-site in an emergency. Only once the security checks are done can the shingle roof installation proceed.
Given that our roofing contractors have been doing this for over 40 years, we are quite comfortable with all sorts of roof repairs and replacements.
Next, our experts will move on to preparing your deck for the new shingles to sit on top of. This is an important stage, as the surface of the deck needs to be flattened properly. Should there be any uneven parts, the shingles and other layers won’t sit properly, which may lead to leaks and corrosion in the long run.
Our roofing contractors will take their time to first flatten your deck and remove any trapped debris from this area before the next step.
Before the shingles can be added, multiple layers of weather-resistant materials and underlayment are added to the deck for rooftop longevity. These materials determine how well-insulated your home stays despite what the weather outside may be.
The next step in your shingle roof installation is adding flashing to the alleys and joints. These areas are more prone to leaks than others, so our roofing experts add this water-shedding material wherever necessary. This keeps the water from accumulating in a particular spot on your roof, preventing mold and asbestos build-up in the long run as well.
Now that your roof is all prepped, the shingle roof installation can finally come to an end with this last step. If you have a sloped rooftop, your shingles will need to be placed in a way that they drain hail, snow, and rainwater through the force of gravity alone. This means that our roofing contractors will adhere to a fixed pattern of adding each shingle that’ll allow your roof to naturally shed snow and water, keeping it durable for a long time.
