Roof Pro is building a roof on a new house in Huntington, Suffolk County, New York. The Roof Pro team has covered the ground with tarps to prevent nails, wood scrap and old roofing material from scattering around the ground and littering the yard. It is done to ease clean up and to keep small debris from hurting or cutting a home owner or his guests after Roof Pro is long gone from the work site. Even though it’s a new home we still do this in case the scrap pieces and any fallen screws or nails fall of the roof while working on it. The job starts by weather striping and filling any gaps in the roof plywood.
Some builders may expect the roofers to seal gaps and test the roof for weight testing and prevent bowing with extra screws or nails.
the build of the structure was very good, we had to seal up just a few spots, the wood was sturdy and held the weight of our crew well.We then went on to the weather proofing. The rolls of weather proofing material was laid out over the wood roof and tacked down.
Weather proofing the roof is very important, in the winter to keep ice and snow out and in the summer when heat and heavy rain is a concern.
On our Huntington home, when you get to chimneys or corners with two roof lines merging it has to be flashed properly. The tar paper and or plastic water proofing material has to be worked around the obstructions in the roof. All attempts to make sure water flows correctly and quickly runs off of the new roof is a roofers prime desire. No dips or low spots on the roof are left, they must be flattened so as not to crate puddling and or ice spots in the winter months.
We weather insulated most of the roof and set up a good barrier from the cold and heat of summer. Most of the siding close to the roof line had to be removed and then put back on so the water would flow over it nice and easily. It is really the only way to do it to keep water intrusion from happening in wet seasons such as the spring and winter months.
The Huntington house gets the final work
Roof Pro will finish the job with great quality roofing material and warranties the labor and materials as per our contract with each customer. When the job is finished on the Huntington home, we go over the roof to make sure it’s done to our high end specs. Sometimes the job won’t be finished until night time, so a foreman or the estimator would visit the site the next day and approve the workmanship or send a crew back with the description of the final touches involved to finish the installation.
