What You Need to Know About Roof Installation

August 13, 2020 by Knockout Roofing & Home Improvement

New roof installation is not as time consuming as you may think! First, we provide extensive guidance about the pros and cons of all materials. Then, you’ll pick out the material that is best for your roof. We have worked with various brands and types of shingles. Therefore, we are sure to help you find the best ones for your home!

Once your new roof material is picked out and ready to go, we get to work! Our first matter of business is tearing off old roofing down to the sheathing. An expert eye and thorough inspection come into play while we do this. We are careful to evaluate the panels of sheathing for any moisture or damage. Since these panels provide the structural support of the roof, this step is extremely important. We then replace any problem areas immediately.

Next, we put protection into place, a very important step for Connecticut homes! This consists of an ice and water barrier around the roof’s edges. This barrier adheres to sheathing and is further nailed down for extra support. Installing the metal drip edge over the ice and water barrier, and then nailing it flat against the roof completes this step. Once this is completed, roofing underlayment and shingles are installed. We don’t stop working until we conduct a thorough clean-up and make sure that you are 100% satisfied with our work. Knockout Roofing takes great pride in the work we do here at Knockout Roofing. We take no short cuts!
