The sooner that a professional roofing contractor can identify the problem areas, the less damage the interior of your home should experience.

Roof installation and roof replacement projects will only be successful when you use quality roofing materials. However, the longevity of the roof also hinges on the roofing installer’s expertise. At Quality Exteriors, we certainly count on our manufacturer’s products, but we also understand that even those products will not hold up if they are in the hands of an inexperienced roofer. We only hire roofing professionals!

What is the Best Roofing Material for Your Roof Installation or Replacement?

Many roofing options are available, and it’s important to understand how each roof material will benefit your property, specifically. The two most popular options are metal roofs, cedar shake and asphalt shingles.

Asphalt Shingles For Your New Roof or Roof Replacement

Asphalt shingles are among the most popular roofing materials to date. At Quality Exteriors, we have extensive experience with asphalt shingle roof installations and replacements. From architectural shingles to three-tab shingles to premium shingle installation, we’re able to find the best possible fit for our customers, based on their personal needs and budget.

We have experience in shingle installation on new homes, as well as replacing damaged or old shingles. And, while asphalt shingles certainly are the easiest roofing material to install, you still need experience to ensure that your new roof lasts as long as it should!

Cedar Shingles and Shake Roof Installation and Replacement

Cedar installation is another service that we’re known for at Quality Exteriors. These cedar shake roof installation services should only be handled by roofing contractors with years of dedicated experience, as this isn’t exactly a starter shingle. Both cedar shingle and shake installation can bring an unrivaled curb appeal to any home, but in order for the wood shingles to stand the test of time, the roof must be installed with extreme care.

When QEI takes on a cedar shake project, we make sure that we bring our most seasoned roofers to complete the roofing installation, roof repair, or roof replacement project. By utilizing careful installation practices and proper safety precautions, we ensure that our cedar shake roofing is resistant to storm damage.

If you’re set on a cedar shake roof, you can’t just trust anyone for the installation. Call Quality Exteriors, and we will make sure that your new roof is properly installed!

New Roof Installation Process

Regardless of whether you’ve hired a professional or if you plan to install your new roof yourself, it’s helpful to understand the roof installation process. Knowing the steps involved will help ensure that your new roof is properly installed! So, here’s an overview of the roof installation steps for asphalt roof shingles and metal roofing.

Once you understand the process, it may help you better understand roof installation or roof replacement cost, especially in terms of labor costs.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement or Installation Process

Remove the Old Roof

If you need a roof replacement, the old roofing, including the existing shingles, will need to be removed before the new roofing can be put in place. Many contractors will install multiple layers of roofing over the top of one another in order to save time. But, adding too many layers can lead to a roof leak or premature failure. So, your old roof should be cut down to the sheathing and then rebuilt.

Evaluate the Roof

Once we’ve removed the old roof, we then evaluate the sheathing. Roof sheathing is made out of flat panels that provide structural support, as well as a base on which the materials, such as shingles, can be attached. Our roofing team will look for any areas of moisture or trouble spots that need to be addressed.

Protect the Roof Against Ice

Even though the weather doesn’t get extremely cold, here in the south, in some areas, we may need to add an ice barrier and water barrier around your roof. This goes around the edge of the roof, namely around the very bottom edge that will be most prone to ice buildup. We adhere the sticky underlayment to the roof sheathing and then use a nail gun to further secure the ice and water barrier with roofing nails to the outside edges of your roof.

Add a Drip Edge

A drip edge goes down in two different parts of the installation. For the lower part of the roof, the drip edge goes on before the underlayment, for the sides of the roof, the drip edge goes on after the underlayment.

We’ll first install the metal drip edge along the bottom edge of your home or business, over the top of the ice and water barrier. Then, we’ll use a nail gun to nail it into place flat against the roof.

After we’ve installed the roof underlayment, we’ll go over with a drip edge on the sides, the same way we did the bottom. This helps to prevent leaks and water running over the roof edge and then back underneath.

Roof Underlayment

Regardless of whether your roof underlayment is felt paper or synthetic, it’s saturated in water resistant materials. We’ll roll the underlayment along the edge of the roof and secure it in place using cap roof nails. These nails don’t go through the drip edge but meet right above it.

From here, we’ll roll one row of roof underlayment after another, making sure we secure it all down with roofing nails and also that we overlap the lower row by at least 6 inches.

Metal Roof Replacement or Installation Process

If you’re looking for a metal roof replacement or installation, you’ll first need to decide which type of metal roofing you want.

Overhangs

At Quality Exteriors, we’ll start by installing a string line at the base of your roof peak at the level you want our overhang. This keeps your overhangs even around the edge of the roof. Because most homes are not perfectly level or square, we’ll need to make adjustments in order to ensure the roof is even.

With metal roofing, our professional roofing contractors will need to take extra measures to make sure that the first piece is completely square, so that either the side or bottom edge is running square with the roof itself.

Laying Down the Metal Roofing

From here, we’ll lay the roofing down so that the side with the taller ridge faces the right. We’ll screw the metal panel down to the roof using screws and rubber washers to help keep water out.

Once we’ve finished screwing one ridge down, we move to the next, making sure to add the same number of screws in the same rows. After all of the ridges are screwed down on the first row, we start the next row by slipping the next panel over the top of the first, covering the last ridge. Then, we do it all again until the entire roof is covered.

Cap Off the Ridge

Once we’ve installed all of the roofing panels, we must cap off the ridge of the roof. We’ll start by installing a ridge vent and insulate underneath it with a waterproof sealant.

Next, we’ll lock the ridge cap down over the top of the vent.

Installing metal roofs can be a difficult and dangerous job to complete. We really recommend hiring a seasoned professional that’s highly trained in installing metal roofs.
