New Construction

If you plan to install a new roof on a house or commercial property, it is important to distinguish between roof replacement and new construction projects. Although both projects involve a new roof installation, a roof replacement is done on an existing structure either by tearing off the old roof or overlaying it (for example, by adding a new layer of asphalt shingles to your existing roof). In contrast, a new construction pertains to a new home or building.

During a new construction roofing project, roofing contractors install framework, underlayment, and covering. They do this as part of a process that starts with inspecting the building envelope, which is examined to assess the projected roofing system. This assessment allows them to determine the best type of deck, insulation, and membrane or material for the roof. The conditions of the location and its climate are also considered when offering roofing material suggestions. The goal of the roofing contractor is to present the client with an energy-efficient and long-lasting system that meets the requirements of the building structure.

Considered every step of the way, the client is then presented with a proposal that describes the project in detail and includes an estimate of the cost, timeline, roofing system details, installation procedures, impact on energy costs and repairs, and company information. If the client approves the proposal, the installation proceeds. Upon completion, the contractor leads a final inspection of the new roof and answers any client questions.

Recommendations for new construction roofing projects

Following are some recommendations you can follow when navigating new construction roofing projects:

Learn about the best roofing materials and systems for your area, considering the advantages and disadvantages of each and other aspects like color, maintenance, and style. Consider there may be other viable options for your project beyond asphalt shingles, like standing seam metal panels or PVC membranes. By getting informed, you will better discuss the options with your roofing contractor.
Hire a reputable and licensed roofing contractor. The experience and expertise of these professionals will ensure everything is done per building codes and help facilitate processes like obtaining permits and scheduling inspections.
Think in terms of energy efficiency and energy costs when selecting a roof system. A small decision like choosing a light color or a slightly more expensive material option might pay for itself in the long run regarding energy savings.
Ensure a project manager or supervisor is present during roof installation to ensure the system is installed correctly. A roofing system can only reach its expected lifespan if properly installed in the right conditions. Protect your investment by having supervisors monitor installation procedures.
Besides hiring licensed and experienced roofing contractors, ensure they are fully insured and have insurance for their workers if applicable. Liability insurance covers damages to your home or building during construction, and workers’ compensation insurance protects you if someone gets injured during your project.

Providence Roofing was a pleasure to do business with from the moment I began speaking with them. They were excellent at communicating their findings on the roof and keeping me updated on installation dates and progress. Mr. Hull provided an honest assessment and walked through how the job would go. They were punctual and cleaned up prior to leaving. I would highly recommend them for any roofing or gutter work needed in the Statesville area.

I could not have been more satisfied with my services from Providence Roofing. Thomas responded to my initial call in a very timely manner, he was professional , knowledgeable, and courteous. I am thrilled to have my new roof before winter! This roofing crew worked hard. They were respectful of the property and neighborhood during the job and when the job was done, they left NO trace that they had been there , except for the new roof of course! Thomas makes himself very available and they do quality work at a good price point. I recommend Providence Roofing without hesitation!

Ashley and his team were great from start to finish. They arrived on time and worked hard and finished just in time to beat out an incoming storm so that my new roof got to be tested right away. (It held up just great)I found two small things the next day and they came back quickly to take care of them. Ashley was very personable and in fact that is what won them the business over other competitors who were not so. He seemed genuinely interested in me as a person and my project. Others were only there to make the sale and nothing more. I highly recommend Providence Roofing.
