WHAT MAKES A ROOF PREMIUM?

Your premium roof is only as good as the roofer who installs it. If your roofing contractor hires unskilled laborers to do your roofing installation, they will inevitably make mistakes. Roof installation is a skilled trade that requires trained workers and certified supervisors.

Modern roofs are a complete system that can last for decades if properly installed. But a minor error can lead to major problems. Blocked roof vents can lead to overheating and brittle shingles. A simple flashing error can lead to leaks after the first heavy rain.

Premium roofs also require premium roofing materials. Low-bid roofing contractors rely on the cheapest materials to make your roof. But cheap roofing material leads to expensive repair bills later. 

We use nothing but high-quality roof supplies made by top manufacturers, and we never hire subcontractors. From start to finish your premium Long Island roof is in expert hands.

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A PREMIUM ROOF REPLACEMENT?

Initial Consultation

In our initial consultation, we talk with you about your roofing needs, design preferences, and budget considerations. We get bulk discounts from our suppliers, so you may be pleasantly surprised at how affordable our estimate is.

Following this consultation, we inspect your existing roof to assess its condition. We identify any underlying issues such as leaks, roof deck rot, or structural damage. From there we determine the scope of work required for your full replacement.

Preparation and Removal of Old Roofing

We move outdoor furniture, set up safety barriers, and protect landscaping with tarps. The actual removal of the old roofing material starts at the top of the roof and progresses downward.

All existing shingles, underlayment, and flashing are stripped away. This process can be labor-intensive but is essential for providing a clean and solid foundation for the new roof. We then check the roof deck for damage. At this stage we make any necessary repairs or replacements to ensure the structural integrity of the new roof​

Installation of Leak Barrier and Underlayment

The leak barrier and underlayment are rolled out and fastened to the roof deck. This protects your roof deck from moisture.

We also install ridge vents, soffit vents and other ventilation components to ensure adequate airflow and prevent moisture buildup in the attic. Proper ventilation is crucial to your roof’s longevity and efficiency.

Flashing and Starter Shingles

We put metal flashing around features like chimneys, dormers, skylights and vents to prevent water from seeping into the roof. This metal sheeting redirects water toward the gutter and downspout.

After flashing the roof, we install starter shingles along the roof eaves and rakes. These initial shingle rows secure the edges and provide a solid base for the main shingles.

Shingle Installation

We install asphalt shingles starting at the bottom of your roof and moving upward. This ensures that each layer overlaps the one below it to provide a watertight seal.

Proper alignment and secure fastening are critical to ensure your new roof’s durability and performance. If not affixed properly, your new shingles are likely to come loose in the first windstorm.

We also put ridge and hip shingles on the roof’s peaks and corners. This provides your roof with a finished appearance and protects your home from water penetration.

Final Inspection and Cleanup

Before we leave, we do a final inspection. We take care of any misaligned shingles, exposed nails, or other deviations from our demanding standards. We then clean up the job site to make sure there are no stray nails or roof debris in your lawn. And when we leave, your house has a beautiful new premium roof.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A PREMIUM ROOF?

HOW DO I KNOW I NEED A FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT?

If you’re wondering whether it’s time for a premium roof replacement, here are several signs to look out for.

Age of the Roof

Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of about 20 to 25 years. If your roof is approaching or past that age, it may need to be replaced. Newer roofing materials and technologies provide better durability and energy efficiency, which can significantly improve your home’s protection and reduce energy costs.

Visible Damage to Shingles

Check for shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing. These are clear signs that your roof has reached the end of its useful life. Shingles that have lost a lot of granules also indicate that the roof is aging and losing its protective properties.

Sagging Roof

A droopy or sagging roof is a severe issue that suggests structural problems, often due to prolonged water damage. This can compromise the roof’s integrity and a risk of collapse if not addressed promptly. A sagging roof often requires immediate replacement to prevent further damage and ensure safety.

Leaks and Water Damage 

If you notice water stains on your ceiling, walls, or in the attic, it means your roof is leaking. This can lead to mold growth and structural damage over time. Persistent leaks, despite repairs, often signal that a full roof replacement is necessary to solve the underlying issues.

Algae and Moss Growth 

Algae and moss isn’t just a cosmetic issue, It can hold moisture against the roof surface, leading to damage and deterioration. If your roof has extensive moss or algae growth, it might be an indication that the shingles are no longer repelling water effectively.

Light in the Attic

If you see beams of light coming through the roof boards in your attic, it’s a  sign that there are gaps or holes in the roof. This not only allows water to enter but also significantly reduces the roof’s insulating properties, increasing your energy costs. 

Regularly inspecting your roof and addressing these signs early can prevent more significant problems and save you money in the long run. If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to contact a professional roofing contractor for an assessment and discuss the benefits of a premium roof replacement.
