Deciding on the best roofing material for your home can be very confusing due to the large variety of types, styles, colors, quality and costs. And, with so many new products being introduced each year, it’s easy to choose one that could fail after a few years. Choosing the wrong product could mean having to go through the entire buying process and paying additional costs – years before it should be necessary. Or, living with a roof that is not what you really wanted. Since a new roof is such a large investment and the decision making process is so critical, it’s important to learn about the materials before you reach your final decision. A highly trained roofing consultant from Norcon Home Services can help you decide on the product that is right for you and your home.
Norcon Home Services has a solid track record of providing quality service and craftsmanship since 1994 and maintains master installer status for a wide range of products and services. This unique blend of professional expertise ensures your roof system will be of the highest standards.
The existing roof sheathing will be inspected. All damaged or rotted sheathing will be replaced prior to the installation of the new roofing materials.
A layer of high-quality roofing felt will be installed to serve as an underlayment for the shingles and an additional moisture barrier.
Valley flashings that are fabricated with an inverted V-shaped standing diverter will be installed in all valleys. All of our standard flashings contain a baked-on enamel finish to prevent rust and corrosion. These flashings typically outlast the other roofing materials.
The field materials (shingles) will be installed using the proper fasteners and according to the manufacturers specifications and local building codes.
Step-Flashings will be installed on all adjoining walls and interlaced with the new roof shingles. A kick-out flashing will be installed at the bottom of every step-flashing “run” to insure that water is diverted to the outside of siding materials below the run.
Roof and soffit vents will be installed to provide an adequate and balanced ventilation system. The quantity and placement of vents are determined by our Analysis of Existing Conditions. An adequate ventilation system is necessary to insure the elimination of moisture in the attic. Excess moisture may lead to ice dams, interior mold/mildew and premature failure of the roofing materials. This may, in turn, void the manufacturer’s material warranty.
New step-flashings will be installed around chimneys and skylights, and caulked.
New plumbing vent flashings and new furnace flue flashings will be installed, interlaced with the new roof shingles, and caulked.
New ridge materials, matching the field shingles, will be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The ridge shingles will be installed in a straight line and will provide the finishing touch to the installation – both technically and aesthetically.
Clean-up around your home is a very critical step. Your property will be inspected to insure that all debris is removed.
A special magnet with wheels will be used to remove all loose nails daily.
