METAL ROOF REPLACEMENT PROCESS
Once you schedule a no cost roof inspection, one of our knowledgeable team members will assess your roof and provide you with a no cost estimate for your review. We will make sure to answer any questions you may have after you review the estimate to make sure you are comfortable to move forward with your roof project.
After you sign the estimate with us, you will receive a Notice of Commencement (NOC) for your signature so that we can pull the permit with the Municipality where your property is. You will also receive a color selection sheet so you can select the brand and color that you want. Once we have all the paperwork and material on-hand, we will schedule your job and the following steps will take place:
Day 1: Material for the dry-in will be delivered to the house and loaded onto the roof.
Day 2: We will begin the tear-off.
✓Our crew will show up with a 6-10 workers depending on the size of the roof. We try to tear-off the entire roof in one day. Sometimes due to extra plywood and fascia needing to be replaced we may have to send a few workers out for a second day.
✓We will bring plywood and tarps to protect the driveway, ac units, exterior pumps and equipment, and as much landscaping as we can reasonably cover.
✓We use dump trailers to dispose of the construction debris so there is less chance of damaging the driveway and also because this allows us to not leave anything in the driveway overnight.
✓Jobsite will be cleaned thoroughly before we leave for the day.
Day 3 or 4: The local municipality will come out to perform an inspection of the dry-in.
Day 3 or 4: Our supplier will run the metal package on site and stage on the driveway.
Day 5-7: Our crew will install the metal and perform a final cleaning of the jobsite.
Day 7-10: Any required soffit, fascia, and gutters will be completed once the metal installation is finished
Day 7-10: Final Inspection from the local authority.
DRY-IN PROCESS
✓For the dry-in, we utilize Polyglass TU MAX self-adhering underlayment. This is a premium product and is currently over and above required code minimums. Some of our competitors will utilize a nail able system which can allow water to penetrate in a wind driven rain scenario.
✓We use galvanized steel drip edge, valley metal, and flashing that is color matched to the final metal panels.
✓We utilize only metal head simplex nails for nailing the head laps of the underlayment for the dry-in which are superior to the plastic head simplex nails that are used by other contractors.
✓We use galvanized 1 ¼” coil nails to attach the drip edge, valley metal, and flashing. All metal is nailed 6” on center as per code.
✓When we install drip edge on the eave, we first install a 6” self-adhering base sheet along the entire eave. The drip-edge is placed on top of that base sheet and then the TU MAX underlayment is able to lap over the drip edge. This is over and above code requirements which allow for simply installing the drip edge on top of the underlayment. Our process of installation provides more long-term protection of the fascia and soffit materials by preventing small scale leaks through the drip-edge fasteners.
✓Once all underlayment has been applied and metal has been installed, we cover all flashing and valleys laps with roof cement to prevent any water intrusion.
METAL ROOFING INSTALL PROCESS
✓The metal panels will be delivered onsite and custom cut according to a cut-sheet that factors in the roof geometry and dimensions.
✓The panels will be installed and fastened with 1 ½” pan head screws attached into 1 side of the metal panel, the other side of the metal panel locks into the previous metal panel above where it is screwed in.
✓Once all panels are installed, the Hip and Ridge trim will be installed to finish out the roof.
✓All roof plumbing vent penetrations will be waterproofed with neoprene boots and polyurethane sealant.
