Getting a new roof for your home can be a very daunting task. This is why roofing and kitchen remodelers follow an optimized approach to get the job done. Today, we take a look at how pros like us put a new roof over the properties of our customers.
Preparation of Materials
Roofers bring in the roofing materials and the necessary equipment to the worksite. Before this phase, homeowners are advised to make their own preparations to minimize disruptions and ensure the safety of their belongings while the work is happening. During this stage, the roofer will also brief the homeowner on what to expect during the project.
The Old Roof Is Removed
The old roof has to be removed to make way for the new one. Depending on the condition of the old roof, the entire roofing system may have to be torn down. For reroofing, existing roofs with only one layer, most of the old roof is likely to stay. Roofing and kitchen remodeling experts often recommend completely tearing off the roof if the components are already deteriorated or if it has more than one layer of shingles.
Decking, Underlayment and Shingles
Roofing experts prioritize the installation of the decking, underlayment and shingles because they take the longest time to install. Once they are finished, they will start installing minor components, such as flashing, drip edges and ridge caps. Depending on the roofing material, the new roof surface may also have to be painted over.
Cleanup and Post-installation
Debris from the old roof and other discarded material will require proper disposal. Waste is often placed in a dumpster (either rented by the roofer or the customer) to be transported to a waste disposal facility or a landfill. Tools are retrieved and secured, and last-minute checks are performed to ensure that all components are properly installed. Just like with installing kitchen cabinets, the pros will also brief the client about post-installation roof care and inform the client about warranty coverage.
