When Does the Roofer Enter the Project?
Timing is everything in new construction. A roof must be installed precisely at the right moment to protect the interior framing and allow other trades to begin their work safely. We coordinate heavily with your general contractor to ensure zero delays.
Framing & Decking
Once the carpenters finish the roof trusses and nail down the OSB or plywood decking, the structure is ready for us.
The Dry-In Phase
We immediately install synthetic underlayment and Ice & Water shield. This "dries in" the house, allowing electricians and plumbers to work inside without weather delays.
Roof Installation
We install the flashing, shingles, or metal panels, ensuring all penetrations (vents, pipes) are perfectly sealed before the final exterior finishes are applied.

Choosing the Right Roofing System
When building a new home, you aren't restricted by an existing roof structure. This is your opportunity to choose a material that perfectly balances appearance, durability, and your construction budget.
Architectural Shingles
The most popular choice for new homes. They offer a beautiful multi-dimensional look, excellent wind resistance, and a fantastic return on investment.
- High wind ratings (up to 130mph)
- Wide variety of color profiles
- Cost-effective installation
Designer Shingles
For custom homes requiring a luxury aesthetic. These heavy-duty shingles mimic the look of natural slate or cedar shake without the extreme weight or maintenance.
- Unmatched curb appeal
- Maximum impact resistance
- Distinctive architectural profiles
Standing Seam Metal
The ultimate long-term investment. Metal roofs offer incredible energy efficiency, shed water perfectly, and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance.
- Superior energy efficiency
- Concealed fasteners prevent leaks
- Modern, sleek appearance
Designing a Roof That Lasts
A beautiful shingle is useless if the system underneath fails. During new construction, we focus heavily on the unseen elements that determine whether your roof lasts 15 years or 30 years.
Balanced Ventilation
We calculate the exact ratio of intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge) ventilation needed to keep your attic cool and prevent moisture buildup.
Ice & Water Shield
Applied in valleys and around penetrations to create a waterproof barrier where water naturally channels.
Custom Flashing
We fabricate and install custom metal flashing around chimneys, walls, and dormers to ensure water cannot penetrate the seams.
Our New Construction Process
We've refined our process to integrate flawlessly with your builder's schedule.
Plan Review
We review architectural blueprints to accurately estimate materials, pitch, and ventilation requirements.
Scheduling
We coordinate directly with the general contractor to schedule the dry-in and final installation phases.
Installation
Our expert crews arrive on time, install the complete roofing system to code, and properly flash all penetrations.
Final Inspection
We conduct a rigorous final walkthrough, clean the site, and register your manufacturer warranties.
Why Proper Installation Matters
Mistakes made during new construction can create devastating leaks years later. Many "builder-grade" roofs fail prematurely because subcontractors cut corners on the unseen details.
Improperly sealed pipe boots
Inadequate attic ventilation
High-nailing shingles (voids warranty)
Reusing cheap flashing

Partner With UsQuestions Homeowners Ask Before Building
Building a home is overwhelming. We make the roofing decisions simple.
Q: Should I upgrade to a metal roof?
A: If you plan to stay in the home long-term (20+ years), a standing seam metal roof is an excellent investment. It costs more upfront but lasts significantly longer, requires almost no maintenance, and lowers cooling costs.
Q: Can I install solar panels later?
A: Yes. If you plan to add solar, tell us during the design phase. We can ensure the roof structure and materials (like standing seam metal, which is ideal for solar mounting) are perfectly prepared for future installation.
Q: Does the roof color matter?
A: While lighter colors reflect more heat, the most important factor is proper attic ventilation. If we design the ventilation correctly, you can choose a dark architectural shingle without sacrificing energy efficiency.
