Roofing keeps water out and air moving by pairing solid decking with the right underlayment, flashing, and finish layer. Systems are sized to the home and climate, then installed to manufacturer specs and code so wind, rain, and sun are handled cleanly.

Overview

• Scope: tear-off and haul-away, sheathing repair, underlayment and ice-and-water shield, flashing, shingles/metal/low-slope membranes, ventilation, skylights, and gutter tie-ins.
• Goals: a dry, durable roof with clean lines, proper airflow, and watertight details at every edge and penetration.
• Settings: full replacements, additions, storm damage repairs, and targeted flashing/skylight fixes.

What This Service Includes

• Tear-off & deck repair: remove roofing down to sheathing, replace damaged plywood/OSB, re-nail per code, and verify plane flatness.
• Edges & underlayment: drip edge at eaves/rakes, ice-and-water membrane at eaves, valleys, and leak-prone areas; synthetic or felt underlayment elsewhere.
• Flashing: pre-bent valleys, step and counter flashing at walls, chimney saddles/crickets, pipe boots, skylight kits, and kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall.
• Roofing systems: architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, stone-coated steel, and low-slope options (TPO/EPDM/PVC, modified bitumen) matched to pitch and exposure.
• Ventilation: ridge and soffit vents, gable vents or powered/solar vents as needed; baffles at eaves to keep insulation clear.
• Accessories: skylight installs/swaps, attic hatches, snow guards (where applicable), heat cables at valleys in ice-prone zones.
• Closeout: ridge cap installation, sealant and fastener checks, site cleanup with magnetic nail sweep, and disposal of debris.

Materials & Systems

• Shingles: architectural asphalt with algae-resistant options; nail patterns, exposures, and starter/ridge components per system.
• Metal: standing seam or formed panels with concealed fasteners, underlayment and slip sheets, snow retention where needed.
• Low-slope: single-ply membranes (TPO/EPDM/PVC) with edge metal and heat-welded seams; or modified bitumen with granulated cap.
• Underlayments: ice-and-water shield at critical zones; synthetic or ASTM felt elsewhere.

Flashing & Details

• Step flashing interleaved with shingles at sidewalls; counter flashing cut into masonry, not surface-caulked.
• Metal pan and cricket behind wide chimneys; sealed pipe boots sized to diameter.
• Kick-out flashing at siding transitions to direct water into gutters.
• Clean terminations at skylights using manufacturer kits; curb heights sized to snow and rainfall patterns.

Ventilation & Insulation Interface

• Intake and exhaust balanced; ridge vents paired with continuous soffit vents where feasible.
• Baffles installed at eaves to prevent insulation blocking airflow.
• Bath fans and range hoods ducted outdoors, not into the attic.

Sequencing & Weather

• Work planned around dry weather; tear-off staged so open areas are dried-in the same day.
• Cold- and hot‑weather adhesive guidance followed; membrane and shingle handling adjusted to temperature.
• Temporary protection in place if showers threaten during install.

Coordination With Other Trades

• Aligns with framers for sheathing and skylight openings; with siders and masons for flashing interfaces.
• Coordinates with electricians and solar installers for roof penetrations and conduit paths.
• Gutter install or reuse planned after drip edge and fascia details are confirmed.

Standards & Inspections

• Fastener type/length and pattern per manufacturer and code; high-wind nailing where required.
• Valleys, rakes, and eaves detailed to published specs; low-slope transitions handled with compatible materials.
• Permits and inspections scheduled for sheathing, nailing, and final where applicable; warranties documented.

Quality Markers

• Straight courses and clean ridge lines; flashings seated and layered correctly with no reverse laps.
• Penetrations tight and square; sealants used sparingly as a supplement, not a substitute for metal work.
• Attic shows daylight only at vents; no visible leaks under test rain or after the first storm.

Safety & Compliance

• Fall protection, ladder tie-offs, and debris control in place; property protected with tarps and plywood paths.
• Hot-work and torch-down performed with fire watch where specified; local codes and manufacturer instructions followed.
• Old materials disposed per local rules; nail sweep performed around home and driveway.

Care & Maintenance

• Annual checks of flashings, sealant joints, and debris at valleys and gutters.
• Trim overhanging branches; keep gutters clear to protect fascia and eaves.
• Documented warranty terms and contact info provided at closeout.
