Residential Roofing Replacement: Installation Approach
A typical residential roofing project begins with delivery of roofing material. A project manager will carefully inspect the material to ensure it arrives at your home. Perfect installation techniques and correct materials are two of the most important aspects in a roof-replacement project.
These are the steps to a proper residential roof installation
Remove Old Roofing System
The first step in any roof installation is to remove the roofing materials. It will take a while depending on the size of your roof, your home’s pitch, the amount of felt you need, as well as the layers and number of shingle layer. Roof over is something we do not recommend to our clients.
The complete removal of your old roofing system will allow us to thoroughly inspect your roof deck for signs or damage. If we find any rotten or damaged wood, we’ll replace it with OSB (oriented Strand Board) or CDX(plywood), depending on the material.
Installation of felt and drip edge
Drip edge, also known as eave flashing, is used to protect your home’s eaves and remove water from fascia boards. This prevents fascia board rot.
You have two options when it comes to installing felt: traditional asphalt felt or synthetic felt. Synthetic felt is stronger and more tear-resistant than asphalt felt.
Starter shingles
Properly installed roofing systems require a starter shingle. A roofing starter shingle will make your roof more resistant against wind damage and water intrusion at your roof’s vulnerable eaves. A three-tab shingle is not as effective as Gaf’s starter shingles. A 3-Tab shingle is a one-way way subpar roofers can give you a lower price.
Barriers for Ice and Water
After drip edge felt and felt have been successfully installed, the next step will be to install a water and ice barrier. Roof valleys, around chimneys and penetrations such wind turbines and pipes boots are some of the best places to place such barriers. These water and ice shields must be applied to the deck. This is yet another step that cheap roofers will skip in an effort to get you a lower bid. JBN Commercial Roofing uses industry-leading ice & waterproofing by Gaf on every residential roof replacement.
Roofing Shingles for your Roof
Now it is time to get started on the most important component of your roofing system – your asphalt shingles. Installing your lifetime roofing shingles in a course is the best way to go. For maximum strength, each roof shingle will require six nails. Skilled roofers should ensure that they place the nails at the nail line. This makes sure that the shingles remain attached to the roof decking, even in severe weather conditions.
Roof Ventilation
Ventilation is often overlooked in a roofing system. Your attic ventilation is an important part of your roofing system. Your roofing shingles could be damaged from the inside if there is not enough ventilation.
