Replacing your roof is a significant investment and an essential step in maintaining the integrity of your home. At Bader Construction, we aim to make the roof replacement process as smooth and transparent as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what you can expect during a roof replacement:
- Initial Consultation and Inspection We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof to assess its condition and identify any underlying issues. This helps us determine the best approach for your roof replacement.
- Choosing the Right Materials After the inspection, we will discuss the various roofing materials available. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the specific needs of your home.
- Removal of the Old Roof The first physical step in the replacement process is removing the old roofing materials. This includes shingles, underlayment, and any other existing components. Our team ensures that your property is protected during this phase.
- Inspection and Replacement of Roof Decking Once the old roof is removed, we inspect the roof decking for any damage. If any sections of the decking are rotten or damaged, we will replace them to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.
- Installing the Drip Edge and Underlayment Next, we install a drip edge to protect the edges of your roof and an underlayment to provide an additional layer of protection against water infiltration.
- Installation of New Roofing Materials With the foundation set, we begin installing your new roofing materials, whether they are shingles, metal, or tile. This step involves careful placement and secure fastening to ensure long-term durability.
- Final Inspection and Cleanup After installation, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards. We also clean up all debris and ensure your property is left in excellent condition.
- Post-Installation Follow-Up We believe in long-term customer satisfaction. After the job is complete, we will follow up with you to ensure you are happy with the new roof and address any questions or concerns you might have.
