New Construction Roofing
New Construction Roofing
New construction roofing means installing a roof system from the deck up on a home or building that has never been roofed before. It's the point where layout, material choice, and fastening all get set for the life of the structure, so the work is done in a defined sequence rather than layered over anything existing.
What Goes Into the Install
- Layout & Deck Prep — Chalk lines, levels, and framing squares establish straight courses and correctly placed valleys and ridges before a single fastener goes in.
- Dry-In — Underlayment and ice-and-water shield go down first, set with cap nailers so the structure stays watertight between stages.
- Flashing & Trim — Drip edge, valley metal, and custom flashing are bent on site with portable sheet metal brakes so the metal fits the roof.
- Fastening to Code — Pneumatic coil nailers and compressors drive the nail pattern and depth Florida's wind-uplift requirements call for.
- Finish Details — Ridge cap, starter strip, and vent or sun tunnel openings are cut and sealed for a tight first-time fit.
Material Options
New construction roofs can be built in asphalt shingles, metal, clay or concrete tile, slate, composite and synthetic shingles, or low-slope systems such as TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing, matched to the building's design and roof pitch.
Safety & Access
Scaffolding, lifts, harnesses, and roof anchors keep crews secure on open framing, while landscape protection tarps and magnetic nail sweepers keep the site clean through every stage of the build.
