How New Construction Roofing Works

Our new construction process is built around your build schedule. We coordinate material delivery, installation, and cleanup so the roof never becomes a bottleneck for your other trades.

01

Schedule and coordinate

Tell us about the project, your timeline, and material specs. We lock in your install date and coordinate around your build schedule so roofing does not hold up framing, siding, or any other trade.

02

Material delivery

We coordinate material delivery to the jobsite so it is ready when the build schedule calls for roofing. Materials are staged where your crew needs them, not blocking access or work areas.

03

Installation

Our crew installs on the scheduled day. We work clean, stay out of other trades' way, and leave the site ready for the next phase of construction when we are done.

04

Final inspection and documentation

We walk the completed roof, confirm it is inspection-ready, and deliver a photo report for your records. If your inspector needs anything from us, we handle it.

New Construction Roofing Questions

For most projects, we can schedule installation within one to two weeks of receiving your request. For production builders with ongoing subdivision work, we establish rolling schedules so your roofing dates are locked in well ahead of time. Call us at (919) 639-4981 to discuss your timeline.

We primarily install GAF and CertainTeed architectural shingles on new construction homes. We also work with Atlas, Owens Corning, Tamko, IKO, and any other brand the builder or homeowner specifies. As a GAF Master Elite and CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, we can offer extended manufacturer warranties on qualifying installations.

We communicate directly with your project superintendent or site manager to schedule around other trades. Our crews know how to work on an active construction site without damaging other work, blocking access, or leaving debris. We clean the site before we leave every day.

We notify you as soon as we know a delay is likely and reschedule for the next available dry day. For builders on tight timelines, we prioritize getting back on your schedule as quickly as possible. You will never be left guessing about when we are coming.
