Roofing Contractor and the process of a roof replacement
When hiring a roofing contractor the process is a mystery as most folks out there do not get a new roof very often. The process is generally the same for most roofs that are sloped. This list generalises for most roofs but there are unusually designed roofs out there that might need something a little different done when the roof is replaced.
The first step is to take the old roof off and have a good inspection of the deck. If there is a problem under the old roof then it must be dealt with before the new roof is replaced over or there will be a problem in the long term. A strong underlay must be installed especially along the eaves and in the valley’s as a buffer between the roofing shingles and the deck as well as a extra barrier so that if a small leak should appear,
Then the roofing shingles are to be installed with adequate capping on the ridge and all the hips. The minor details of the roof involve metal flashing to be installed along the walls and extrusions. The extrusions on the roof involve the plumbing stacks or the B vent. Chimneys and skylight require metal flashing too.
The valley and the eaves may require metal flashing as this is the areas most affected by water and snow. Roof vents must be installed to guarantee a good ventilation and prolong the life of your new roof. Last but not least is that the roofer must clean and remove the dangerous debris that now surrounds your property. Magnetic rakes are a good idea at solving this problem
