About Roofer
Before you commit to Roofer, check that the scope covers removal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and cleanup; ask how hidden damage will be handled once the old roof is off; ask who supervises the crew each day.
Anyone comparing Roofer benefits from asking the same questions of every provider; ask what the plan is for protecting landscaping, windows and the interior during the work; written scope and a clear schedule make comparison easier.
How our Roofer work goes
- Assess the surface, the flashing and the attic An inspection covers the roof covering, the edges, the valleys and every place where something passes through the roof; where the decking or structure may be affected, that is flagged before any decisions are made; the ridge, hips and any ridge vent are checked for lifted or missing pieces; safety lines and ladders are set up before anyone climbs.
Roofer options and materials
Asphalt shingles
As a choice, asphalt shingles balance protection, appearance and installation convenience for most residential roofs; quality varies between product lines, so it pays to compare thickness, wind resistance and design; starter strips and ridge caps are part of a complete shingle system.
EPDM rubber and modified bitumen
EPDM is a durable synthetic rubber membrane, usually black, that is common on flat residential and commercial roofs; EPDM seams are joined with adhesives or tapes, and their quality affects performance; ballast, fully adhered and mechanically fastened systems each suit different decks.
Common questions about Roofer
My roof is leaking, what now?
Containing the water inside and recording the damage are sensible first steps; the visible stain is often not directly below the source, so a professional inspection helps find the true cause; wet insulation should be dried or replaced after the leak is stopped.
Should I choose a shingle or a metal roof?
Metal roofs shed snow and rain quickly and resist fire, whereas shingles are lighter in weight and simple to repair; installation methods differ, and experience with the chosen material matters; code requirements can differ by material, so ask about the rules that apply.
