Whether you’re constructing a new home or replacing an old roof, a quality roofing installation is a significant investment. The process is multistep, and it’s important to understand the whole roof installation cycle to ensure your new roof protects your home for years to come.

Cool roofing contractors provide a range of benefits to help you save on energy costs, improve indoor comfort, and minimize your building’s environmental footprint. In addition, they may qualify you for energy rebates from your local utility company.

How Cool Roof Solutions Ensures a Leak-Proof Installation

The first step of the roof installation process is an initial consultation and preliminary inspection. The roofing contractor will assess the roof’s current condition, discuss your preferences, and recommend the best roofing materials to suit your needs.

Next, the roofers will remove any existing shingles and roof sheathing and install new roof decking and insulation. During this stage, the roofers can also add vents for increased attic ventilation and additional heat-reduction benefits.

After the roof deck and insulation are installed, the roofer will apply a layer of vapor retarder to protect against condensation. This is especially important in humid climates, where condensation can lead to moisture buildup and damage the roof.

Once the vapor retarder is applied, the roofers will install flashing around chimneys, wood stove pipes, certain vents, and hip roofs. The flashing is overlapped and sealed with waterproof sealant or soldered together (for copper flashing) to ensure a watertight connection. Nails driven through the flashing secure it to the roof deck and underlying structure.
