New Roof Information Hub

Every successful new roof installation begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof and overall structural condition. Our certified roofing professionals examine your current roofing system, check for underlying structural issues like damaged decking or compromised support beams, assess ventilation adequacy, and evaluate your attic insulation. This inspection typically takes one to two days and reveals critical information that influences material selection and installation approach. We document any areas requiring structural repair before installation begins, ensuring your new roof sits on a solid, properly prepared foundation.

Based on inspection findings, budget considerations, and your aesthetic preferences, our team helps you select the ideal roofing materials for your home. We provide samples of asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, and synthetic composite options, discussing how each performs in Oklahoma City’s hail-prone, high-wind environment. Once materials are selected, we create a detailed project timeline, coordinate delivery schedules, and arrange for necessary permits. Material delivery typically occurs one day before installation begins, with products staged strategically around your property for efficient crew access.

On installation day, our crew of four to six experienced professionals begins by carefully removing your old roofing materials down to the decking. Complete tear-off allows us to inspect the roof deck for damage, replace any compromised sections, and create the clean surface necessary for optimal new roof performance. We use protective tarps to shield landscaping, establish debris chutes for safe material removal, and employ magnetic sweepers to collect fallen nails. This phase generates the most noise and activity but demonstrates our commitment to starting fresh rather than layering over potential problems.

Before installing your new roofing material, we apply high-quality underlayment that serves as a critical secondary moisture barrier. In Oklahoma City, where wind-driven rain and occasional ice dams can test roofing systems, proper underlayment installation protects against water intrusion even if shingles are damaged. We use synthetic underlayment products that offer superior tear resistance and UV protection compared to traditional felt paper, paying special attention to vulnerable areas like valleys, eaves, and penetrations where leaks most commonly develop.

This is where your new roof takes shape. Our installation crews work systematically from bottom to top, ensuring proper overlap, alignment, and fastener placement according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. For asphalt shingle installations, we carefully nail each shingle at precisely the right locations to maximize wind resistance—a crucial consideration in Oklahoma’s severe weather climate. Metal roofing installations require specialized techniques for panel alignment and fastening that account for thermal expansion. Throughout this phase, our crew maintains constant quality control, with supervisors checking work at regular intervals.

Proper ventilation extends your roof’s lifespan by regulating attic temperatures and moisture levels. We install or upgrade ridge vents, soffit vents, and other ventilation components to create balanced airflow. All flashing around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, and wall intersections receives careful attention, as these transition points represent the most common sources of future leaks. Our team uses premium flashing materials and proven installation techniques that seal these vulnerable areas against Oklahoma City’s driving rainstorms.

Once installation is complete, we conduct a meticulous cleanup process that includes removing all debris, running magnetic sweepers across your entire property to collect stray nails, and inspecting gutters for any roofing material. Our project manager then conducts a comprehensive walkthrough with you, explaining your new roofing system’s features, reviewing care and maintenance recommendations, and activating your manufacturer’s warranty. This final step ensures you understand your investment and feel confident in the protection now covering your home.
