With winter right around the corner, it would be an understatement to say that keeping your roof in good shape is critical. The truth is that your roof is your home's first line of defense from the harsh outside environment. So having a roof that can handle the job isn't just vital; it's critical. This article will lead you through the process of replacing a home roof. We will demonstrate why you should come to Champion Exteriors if your roof needs to be replaced.
What You Can Expect From Our Residential Roof Replacement Service:
When our contractors arrive at your home, we will begin preparing it for construction. We will cover all of your plants and bushes with tarps and inspect the surrounding environment. Furthermore, we will ensure that there are no high-risk areas, such as open glass windows or breakable decorations.
We do all of this on the day of your roof's deconstruction, so expect us to get right to work! We may also request that you transfer any cars you own into your garage or onto the street. This is due to the fact that we do not want to harm them. Furthermore, we may have to relocate our dumpster to the driveway.
Following that, we will completely remove your old roof. This is critical because we do not layer roofs because it might cause problems in the future and/or violate your manufacturer warranty on the shingles and materials you select.
We will then conduct a thorough re-inspection of your roof. We will carefully and thoroughly inspect the plywood on your roof, just as we did before to the start of construction.
Our Roof Re-Inspection
When we do this, we are searching for a few things. Water damage to your plywood is the most crucial item we look for. Water damage causes the wood to become mushy and frail. It will erode away over time, necessitating residential roof replacement!
The plywood on your roof serves as the entire base for your shingles, and a weak foundation could result in a partial or complete roof collapse! We will rip off any plywood that we believe is structurally weak and replace it with a brand new sheet. After we finish, we must verify each piece to ensure that it is correctly nailed down. Most contractors skip this step since they are just looking for water damage. When peeling off the shingles, nails can be damaged. We can leave bumps and weak locations on your new roof if we do not take care of it.
We are able to then put together your roof for the fire and ice. And we do this by doing a radical cleansing of your roof. We ensure your roof is absolutely freed from any nails or particles that could have an effect on the hold of your new roof. Once we are positive your base is spotless, we will begin to install the drip side. Drip edge is steel flashing mounted at the rims of the roof to hold water far away from your fascia and from getting underneath your roofing components. If you do not have a dripping faucet, water can get underneath the threshold of your roof and your gutters may be compromised.
Ice - Water Underlayment
After we've installed your drip facet, we can begin to lay your sub-roof. That is called ice and water. Ice and water is a protracted sheet of adhesive water-resistant fabric. This sub-roof is vital because it prevents any water that can get in alongside the seams of your roof from inflicting damage on your plywood. This sub-roof must be laid in every spot of your roof with a seam. This includes near the rims of your roof, via the drip side, alongside any dormers you may have, alongside the height of your roof, and around your chimney.
As soon as we're completed laying all of your ice and water, we can move directly to laying the underlayment. This is commonly a felt layer between your roof and plywood that prevents the tar for your roof from sticking to the roof, but many people have been opting into using a new composite underlayment. This new composite fabric is a whole lot lighter, lowering the weight load on your roof, and might take lots more abuse than usual felt underlayment.
Laying Asphalt Shingles for your Roof
Whilst all of the prep paintings are subsequently completed, we are able to begin to lay your trendy asphalt shingle roof! This is the most pleasurable part of the entire procedure, as you could see the roof coming collectively earlier than your very eyes. We will start from the lowest edges of your roof, and work our way up in the direction of the peak. As we develop, we will make certain to put in and counter-flashing or vent as wanted. While we eventually attain the height, we can install ridge vents and ridge caps. Ridge vents are a long piece of either plastic or steel that leaves a small gap among the peaks of your roof and your ridge caps. This facilitates to properly ventilate your attic and higher flooring of your house, which saves you money on energy payments.
We will then start our final cleanup of your roof replacement. We take all of our tools off of the roof and sweep any debris we may have made into a pile, carefully bagging it up and taking it to the dumpster. Moreover, we will check all of the gutters for any trash that may have fallen into them and clean up as needed. When we are satisfied that your roof is clean, we will begin our final inspection. We will go around to every possible area we think may be of concern and carefully check our work to make sure there will be no problems for you down the road.
