Building a new home is exciting, but the process can feel overwhelming when you don’t know what to expect. One of the most important steps in any new build is the roofing phase of new construction. Your roof doesn’t just provide curb appeal—it protects your entire home. Here’s a look at what happens during this stage and how our team at Barringer Brothers Roofing helps keep everything on track.
Step 1: Preparing the Roof Deck
Once the framing of your home is complete, the roof deck is installed. This forms the base of your roof and provides support for the materials that follow. Our crew inspects the decking carefully to ensure it’s solid, level, and ready for underlayment.
Step 2: Installing Underlayment
Underlayment acts as a moisture barrier between the decking and shingles. During the roofing phase of new construction, we apply high-quality underlayment to help protect your home from leaks and weather damage.
Step 3: Adding Flashing and Ventilation
Flashing is installed around roof edges, chimneys, vents, and valleys to direct water away from vulnerable areas. Proper ventilation is also added to keep air flowing, preventing heat buildup and extending the life of your new roof.
Step 4: Shingle Installation
This is the part most homeowners get excited about—seeing shingles go on. Shingles not only protect your home but also define its style. Our team makes sure they’re installed correctly for maximum durability and appearance.
Step 5: Final Inspection and Cleanup
After installation, we perform a thorough inspection to make sure everything is secure and watertight. Then, we clean up the site so your new construction looks its best.
Why This Step Matters
The roofing phase of new construction is more than just another step in the process—it’s a milestone. A properly installed roof ensures your new home is safe, energy-efficient, and built to last.
