Knowing the steps involved in your Warren roof installation will help you feel more comfortable with the work being done on your home. It will also give you confidence that the job is being done right and properly installed. Here are the five main steps involved in the roof installation process:
Warren Roof Installation Process
1. Old Roof Removal
First, your old roof will need to be removed before a new roof is put on. In some instances, a new roof will be installed over an existing older roof to save time and money, but in the long run this is not the best option, as multiple layers of roofing can weigh too heavily on the housing supports and cause the new roof on top to have a shorter lifespan.
2. Weather Protection and Drip Edge
Next, a water and ice barrier should be installed to protect your roof from ice build up. This is a sticky bottom layer that will adhere to the roof sheathing before it is nailed down for strength and stability. Then, a drip edging goes down to prevent water from running down your roof and back behind the siding of your home.
3. Underlayment
The underlayment is a synthetic of felt paper piece that is treated to be water resistant. This layer will be rolled along the edge of the roof and nailed down before another layer is overlapped at the upper edge to be sure the roof is completely covered with no gaps or cracks exposed.
4. Roof!
Next, the actual roofing will be installed, whether you are going with a metal roof, asphalt shingles, or clay tiles. The process for each type is different, but knowing that this is not the only step in the roof installation process will keep you ahead of the game!
5. Sealing Pipes and Vents
Finally, know that throughout the roofing process, vents and pipes will need to be sealed. This is usually done with a piece of rubber that slips over the vent or pipe. But, the process used to seal the pipes and vents on your roof may vary depending on what type of roof you have.
