Building a new home from the ground up is an exciting process, but it’s vital to select the right teams for each major phase. Fortunately, our team at Reynolds Roofing has many years of experience in shingle roof installation projects, and we have the process down to a science.
If you’re wondering what our shingle roof installation process will look like, here’s a brief overview of what to expect:
- Prepare the roof deck. After the home’s framing is finished, our team will thoroughly inspect the roof deck to ensure it’s properly secured, level, and damage-free. A clean, level, and sturdy roof deck will prevent future issues, such as sagging or leaking.
- Install a drip edge. A drip edge is installed along the edge of a roof to prevent water from seeping beneath shingles or from damaging the home’s fascia.
- Add an underlayment. A roofing underlayment is designed to go beneath the shingles and act as a moisture barrier.
- Install flashing. Our crew will add flashing around features like chimneys, vents, and skylights to protect these vulnerable areas from leaks and damage.
- Begin the shingle roof installation process. Once the roof deck is fully prepared, our crew will begin carefully installing the shingles with precise spacing and overlapping to create a uniform appearance.
- Conduct a full inspection. The last step of the shingle roof installation process involves thoroughly cleaning up the worksite and closely examining our work to guarantee the roof is ready to stand strong against the test of time.
