Install day
What happens on install day
Step 1
Remove the old shingles
We remove all existing old shingles. Discards go into a dump trailer and are hauled to an approved landfill.
Step 2
Repair the decking
We replace or repair bad decking or 1x6 boards, whichever applies to your roof.
Step 3
Ice and water shield
We install ice and water shield to protect sloped roofs from wind-driven rain and ice dam water backup.
Step 4
Underlayment
We apply underlayment, asphalt felt or synthetic, as building codes and shingle manufacturers require.
Step 5
New shingles
We apply shingles, starting at the eaves and working upward.
Step 6
Flashing
We apply flashing around chimneys, stack vents, and pipes to direct water away from seams and joints.
Step 7
Ventilation
We install ventilation at the peak so warm, humid attic air escapes.
Step 8
Cleanup
We clean up the surrounding area so it is free of nails and discarded materials.
