Real United Project · Saratoga Springs
A finished roof only tells part of the story.
Preparation, decking condition, underlayment and detail work all contribute to the finished roofing system. Our team approaches installation as a complete exterior project rather than simply covering the home with new material.
See Recent Projects →A quality residential roof installation depends on careful preparation, a sound roof deck, proper underlayment, correctly installed roofing materials, ventilation and a thorough final inspection.
The roofing team protects plants, shrubs and surrounding areas around the home and sets up the necessary safety equipment to create a safe work environment.
Existing roofing materials are removed as needed, including shingles, underlayment and damaged or deteriorated wood. The underlying structure is inspected for issues that should be addressed before the new roof is installed.
Damaged or deteriorated sections of the roof deck are repaired or replaced to provide a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
A water-resistant underlayment is installed over the roof deck to provide an additional layer of protection against moisture and leaks.
The selected roofing material—such as shingles, metal panels or other appropriate materials—is installed and securely fastened. Flashing is installed around chimneys, vents and other penetrations to help prevent water intrusion.
Where appropriate for the roofing system, ridge ventilation is installed to help heat and moisture escape. Ridge caps or corresponding roofing materials are installed along the roof peak to seal and finish the system.
The work area is thoroughly cleaned and roofing debris, nails and materials are removed. A final inspection is completed to review the finished installation and confirm the new roof meets project quality standards.
