1. Dismantling of the Old Roof

A long-lasting roof starts with a careful and complete teardown. That’s why we always remove old shingles to prevent hidden issues and guarantee a strong, durable installation.


We strip away worn-out materials, inspect the roof decking, and remove protruding nails, leaving a clean, solid surface ready for your new roof. No shortcuts, just quality work!

2. Drip Edge Installation

A drip edge prevents water from seeping between the fascia and gutters, protecting your home from leaks. Although optional, we always recommend this step to enhance durability and extend the lifespan of your roof.

3. Self-Adhesive Membrane Application

This waterproof membrane shields your roof from ice dams and high winds. It adheres naturally with heat or can be secured with nails for a perfect, long-lasting seal.

4. Roof Waterproofing

A synthetic underlayment is installed beneath the shingles to enhance fire resistance and prevent water infiltration. Securely stapled and precisely overlapped, it provides a complete and durable protective layer.

5. Installing the Starter Shingles

Starter shingles are laid flat to block water from seeping under the top layers. This essential step ensures a leak-free, long-lasting roof.

6. Shingle Installation

A normally repetitive process becomes highly efficient thanks to our attention to detail. Each shingle is carefully placed, precisely nailed, and layered strategically to ensure maximum strength and durability.

7. Flashing Installation

Flashing is installed around chimneys, wall edges, and skylights to create a watertight seal and protect vulnerable areas from leaks.

8. Ridge Cap Shingle Installation

The ridge cap shingles are like the finishing touch on your roof. Placed at the peak, they seal the connection between roof slopes and provide crucial protection against wind and water infiltration.

9. Finishing Touches

Once installation is complete, our team inspects every detail. We secure any exposed nails and thoroughly clean the worksite, leaving zero debris, a rock-solid roof, and total peace of mind.
