New Construction Roofing: Building Strong Roofs for Your New Home
When it comes to constructing a new home, we understand that the roof is a critical component, shielding everything beneath it from the elements. Installing a new roof is often one of the most significant investments a homeowner makes. The process of creating a new roof involves the meticulous design and construction of the roof's framework, underlayment, and final roofing materials. This is where our team at Premier Home Solutions excels. In addition to expert roofing, we can also skillfully install new skylights to brighten up your space.

Distinguishing Between New Roof Construction and Roof Replacement
It's important to distinguish between new roof construction and roof replacement. Roof replacement typically involves the removal of all existing roofing materials down to the deck, followed by the installation of new roofing components. This process is distinct from reroofing, where new shingles are added on top of existing ones.
In contrast, a new construction roofing project is generally undertaken concurrently with the construction of a brand-new structure, whether it's a residential home or a commercial property. In such cases, new construction roofers play a pivotal role in constructing the roofing framework, installing the underlayment, and applying the final roof covering.
Steps We Take to Properly Install a New Roof
Installing a new roof on your home is an excellent way to enhance its appearance and increase its value. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect during a roof replacement or installation project with Premier Home Solutions:
- Removing Old Shingles: We meticulously remove old shingles before installing the new roof, avoiding premature roof deterioration.
- Drip Edge Installation: Installing a drip edge, when necessary, adds a polished look and prevents water from flowing directly down the fascia boards.
- Underlayment and Felt Paper: We apply water-resistant underlayment (felt paper or synthetic) to protect against windblown rain and ice dams. This also enhances fire resistance and improves water drainage beneath the shingles.
- Metal Flashing: Careful installation of metal flashing diverts water away from critical roof areas, such as intersections with vertical surfaces like dormers or walls.
- Starter Shingle Placement: We place starter shingles just before the final course of shingles for a precise installation.
- Shingle Nailing: Shingles are meticulously nailed in place, following manufacturer recommendations to prevent storm-related roof failures.
- Vent and Flashing Integration: We integrate various flashing types, such as vent, dormer, and step flashing, to prevent water from infiltrating beneath the shingles.
- Ridge Capping: Adding an additional layer of shingles to cap the roof's ridge allows strong winds to pass over it, preventing damage.
- Cleanup: After construction is complete, we conduct thorough yard cleanup, removing loose nails and debris to leave your property in pristine condition.
