New Home Roof Systems

Production and custom homes both get the same sequence: deck inspection, ice barrier, underlayment, starter course, field shingles, and ridge cap. We schedule around the framing crew so the structure is dried in as soon as sheathing is complete.

Room Addition and Dormer Roofing

Additions and dormers create new planes that must marry into an older roof without telegraphing the joint. We set slope, headwall and sidewall flashing, and cricket details so water leaves the intersection quickly instead of collecting quietly behind it.

Garage and Detached Structure Roofing

Detached garages, workshops, and pool houses get full roof assemblies rather than the shortcuts these buildings often receive. Every layer that protects the main house goes on here too, including barrier at the eaves, proper venting, and correctly lapped step flashing.

Sheathing and Deck Preparation

Panels need correct spacing, clip support, and fastening before anything waterproof touches them. We verify the deck plane, check for lifted seams and protruding nails, and flag framing issues to the builder while a fix still costs almost nothing.

Flashing and Wall Tie-In Details

Where a new roof meets brick, siding, or an existing slope, flashing carries the whole burden. Step flashing goes in shingle by shingle, counterflashing is cut into masonry, and kick-out pieces send water into the gutter instead of the wall cavity.

Intake and Exhaust Ventilation Design

Airflow is far easier to build in than to retrofit later, so we size intake and exhaust while the soffits are still open. Continuous ridge venting, baffles at the eaves, and clear rafter bays keep the assembly dry year round.

One Fewer Trade to Chase

Handing off the roof becomes a scheduled milestone instead of a moving target. We commit to a dry-in date, arrive when the deck is ready, and clear the site so the next trade can start without waiting on us.

A Structure Dried In on Time

Interior work cannot begin until the building is weathertight, and every day of delay stacks up behind it. Getting the roof closed protects fresh framing, lets insulation and drywall start on schedule, and keeps the whole build moving forward.

Details Settled Before They Harden

Slope, overhang, valley placement, and vent location are cheap decisions on paper and expensive ones after framing. Reviewing them early means the roof you imagined is the roof that actually gets built, without awkward compromises invented on the fly.

An Addition Nobody Can Spot

Matching an older roof takes attention to shingle profile, color weathering, and how the new plane meets the old. Done properly, visitors see one continuous house rather than an obvious seam announcing where the original structure ended and the addition began.

Ventilation Sized From Day One

Attics that breathe correctly from the first winter avoid the frost, mold, and premature sheathing failure that plague retrofitted buildings. Because we set intake and exhaust during construction, the assembly performs as designed instead of needing expensive correction later.

Inspections Passed Without Rework

Code officials look at fastening patterns, ice barrier coverage, and ventilation ratios, and a failed inspection stops everything behind it. Building to specification the first time keeps sign-off routine and prevents a torn-open roof late in the schedule.
