Pre-Installation Inspection

Complete roof measurement, decking evaluation, ventilation assessment. We photograph every area and create a detailed scope of work before starting.

Protection Setup

Tarps over landscaping, magnetic nail sweepers positioned, dumpster placed. We protect your property like it's our own — windows, siding, AC units all covered.

Tear-Off & Deck Inspection

Full removal of old shingles, felt, and nails. Every square foot of decking inspected for rot, soft spots, or damage. Damaged areas replaced with matching plywood.

Underlayment & Ice/Water Shield

Synthetic underlayment across entire roof. Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, skylights, walls, and penetrations — critical in Coastal Georgia's wind-driven rain zone.

Drip Edge & Starter Strip

New drip edge on all eaves and rakes. Brand-matched starter strips (GAF ProStart, OC Starter, etc.) for proper adhesive bond and warranty compliance.

Shingle Installation

Brand-specific nailing patterns (6-nail for hurricane zone). Proper offset, alignment, and exposure per manufacturer specifications. Every shingle hand-sealed in extreme heat.

Ridge Caps & Ventilation

Ridge vent installation for attic airflow. Brand-matched ridge caps for cohesive appearance. Proper ventilation extends shingle life by 20-30% in Georgia's heat.

Flashing & Sealing

Step flashing at walls, counter flashing at chimneys, boot covers at pipes. Every penetration triple-sealed. This is where most leaks originate — we don't cut corners.

Cleanup & Final Walk

Triple magnetic sweep of yard. Gutter cleaning. Detailed photo documentation. Final walkthrough with homeowner. Warranty paperwork submitted to manufacturer same day.

Installation FAQ

How long does a professional roof installation take?

1-3 days for most residential roofs. A standard 2,000 sq ft home typically takes 1-2 days. Complex roofs with multiple pitches, dormers, or skylights may take 2-3 days. Weather can add delays — we never install in rain.

Do you use specific nailing patterns for hurricanes?

Yes. Building code in Coastal Georgia requires 6-nail patterns for architectural shingles. We use stainless steel nails near the coast (within 3,000 feet of saltwater). This meets or exceeds ASTM D3161 Class F requirements.

What happens if it rains during my roof installation?

We seal all opened areas with synthetic underlayment at the end of each work day. If rain is forecast, we may delay starting. An exposed roof deck is never left unprotected overnight.
