ROOFING INSTALLATION
Byers Construction follows a thorough, step by step process for every roof replacement we perform. Once a quote has been accepted and an appointment scheduled to do the work, our crew will arrive on the day of installation and prepare the work site. This includes covering unprotected landscaping that could be affected by the installation. We will remove any items from around the house that could be damaged or create an unsafe work environment for our crew. We utilize an Equipter Lift Roofing Trailer to minimize the debris that could end up in your landscaping. You will need to make sure there are no vehicles in the driveway blocking our access to the roof.
With the prep work done, our crew will then begin the removal of your old shingles. This is done with a combination of tear-off tools. Next, our crew will inspect the roof sheeting and replace it as necessary. Soil pipe flashings will be replaced and we will re-flash the chimney as needed. This would involve new aluminum or copper step flashing and counter flashing.
At this point, we begin the actual installation process. First, we will install an ice and water shield in valleys, around chimneys and skylights, and along eaves. Then we will cover the deck surface with Synthetic Underlayment or ASTM D-226 felt paper. The next step is to install an aluminum drip edge on gables and a gutter apron on eaves. We will also put in new roof vents and check the ventilation along the eaves. And finally, our crew will begin to lay your new shingles. We use asphalt-fiberglass, dimensional and wood shake shingles or standing seam metal panels. All shingles will be nailed, not stapled to your roof. Valleys will be covered via the closed cut or no cut application, per the shingle manufacturer’s specifications with the option for metal valleys. Byers Construction offers a 15-year warranty on all our workmanship. Additionally, the shingles will be covered by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.
The final step is site cleanup. The site is cleaned daily, but on the last day we remove all tarps, pick up all debris, and sweep the yard with a magnetic roller. Any items that were removed from around your home will be put back into place. When we remove the trailer, your roofing installation has been completed! On the next day, a member of our team will be out to do a final inspection of the work completed.
