Step 1: Roof Installation Begins With a Pre-plan
Like any other important work, we start your roof replacement with smart-pre-planning to ensure you get optimal results. Our experienced contractors carefully inspect your property to determine how much materials you need and the best way to handle it from the beginning to completion. This way, you get all the information you require, including a solid start date, to plan.
Step 2: Ensure Property Safety
Because we are ensuring you get the best residential roofing installation service, we embark on ensuring your property is adequately protected during the installation once you approve our plan. We prioritize the safety of your walls, siding, windows, trees, houseplants, bushes, and more. We bring on the job site roof jacks, ladders, a dumpster, protection plywood and tarps, and the roofing material.
Step 3: Remove the Old Roofing Materials
At this stage, our experienced contractors remove the old shingles to inspect the wood decking properly. We also do this and take it seriously since our policy prevents us from putting new roofing materials over the old ones. The experts here at Tornado Roofing and Contracting Inc know that doing that would prevent us from laying the new shingle on the deck as required. Besides, it would weaken and reduce the lifespan of the new roofing materials. As such, since we guarantee you the best residential roofing installation service, we remove the old shingles and roofing nails and flashing at once.
Step 4: Inspect the Roof Deck
Our team of experts thoroughly inspects the wood decking to determine whether we need to come up with a better base for the new roofing structure. This is essential as we use the best shingles, and you need them to remain intact for several years. If we notice any rotten, wet, or softwood during this process, we mark them for replacement. We also inspect the wood sheeting to find the best ways to make it adequately attached to your roof rafters.
From our experience, this is where many roofing contractors go wrong. Instead of taking their time to check for any missing nails at this stage, they start doing other things that they consider more important. Here at Tornado Roofing and Contracting Inc, we re-nail the old wood decking to ensure you get impressed after the installation process. Besides, we guarantee you will never see bumps on your roof at any moment after we leave your premises.
Step 5: Prepare the Deck
After completing the inspecting, our roofing professionals prepare the deck for the new shingles. This means we install a drip edge. This metal that mends at a right angle (90 degrees) is designed to prevent rainwater from finding its way underneath your roofing materials.
Other than installing the drip edge, we install the ice and water shield. This exclusive roofing underlayment sticks to the decking and, therefore, effectively prevents water leaks. To give you the best result, we install it at the bottom of your roof and all your roof penetrations, which include the roof connections, chimneys, and more.
The last thing that we do to prepare for the shingles is to install your roofing felt. When we cover your roof with this material, your shingles will never stick to the roofing wood. A good reason we know that our team of contractors is offering the best residential roofing installation service is that they use heavy-duty roofing felt that guarantees you the results.
Step 6: Install the New Roofing Material
At this stage, we lay out the roofing material professionally. We start from the bottom edges and work upwards. By working this way, we successfully overlap the new shingles to shed water. After that, we place special caps on the hip rises and at the peak. Next, we carefully cut the shingles over or around dormers and in the valleys.
Step 7: Clean Up the Site and Inspect the Roof
Our job is never complete until we remove all the wastes from the job site. Our contractors dispose of all of them and do not leave any cleaning work to do after they go. Once you are satisfied with the cleanup, we embark on conducting the final inspection. We have experienced supervisors who understand the unique quality that we know defines the best residential roofing installation.
We send them to conduct a meticulous and objective post-roofing inspection. As your top construction company, we believe it is our job to ensure that your roofing replacement meets and exceeds your expectations. In the unlikely scenarios that we discover that something has not been done to the highest standards or your complete satisfaction, we correct it at our own cost. In other words, here at Tornado Roofing and Contracting Inc., we offer our esteemed clients like you 100%-satisfaction guarantee. Moreover, we respect them and are committed to giving them a memorable experience.
