Evaluation
Each new construction project begins with an evaluation of the blueprints and architectural plans to understand the roof design including pitch, structure and materials.
Your roofing contractor will then assess the construction site and the building to ensure it’s ready for material installation.
Recommendation
Your contractor will discuss the various roofing materials. This includes asphalt or rubber shingles that align with your design, budget and climate considerations. Additional recommendations will also be made for insulation and ventilation considerations crucial to the longevity of your roof.
A detailed cost and timeline estimate will also be provided at this time.
Construction
The roofing area is prepared by installing any necessary underlayment, securing the roof deck and checking that the structure is ready for roofing materials.
The chosen roofing material is installed according to design specifications and local building codes. This includes shingles, where we use at least 6 nails in every one to protect them from lifting so they can better withstand the elements.
After construction is complete, a final inspection will be done to ensure the new roof meets quality and safety standards. We offer 15 year workmanship warranties as well as our Leave No Trace and Leak Free Guarantees, at Guns N Hoses we stand behind our quality products and service.
