New Roof Installation FAQs

What is the purpose of roof underlayment?

Roof underlayment is a waterproof barrier installed on the roof deck beneath the shingles or other roofing materials. Its primary purpose is to protect the roof deck from moisture penetration in case of leaks or damage to the roof covering. It acts as a secondary line of defense.

What is a roofing permit, and do I need one?

A roofing permit is an official document issued by your local building department, granting permission to perform roofing work. Most areas require permits for new installations or major repairs. It ensures your project adheres to safety and building codes. Typically, your roofing contractor handles obtaining the necessary permits.

How long does it take to install a new roof?

The installation timeframe depends on the roof size, complexity, weather, and the roofing crew's efficiency. A simple roof might take a few days, while a large, complex roof could take several weeks. Your chosen contractor will provide a more accurate timeline.

What are the signs that a new roof was installed incorrectly?

Signs of a poorly installed roof include:
  • Leaks: Recurring leaks shortly after installation.
  • Misaligned Shingles: Shingles that are uneven, crooked, or have gaps.
  • Visible Nails or Fasteners: Exposed nails or fasteners that are not properly sealed.
  • Improper Flashing: Flashing that is loose, damaged, or installed incorrectly.
  • Inadequate Ventilation: Signs of poor ventilation, such as excessive heat or moisture in the attic.
If you notice any of these signs, contact your roofing contractor immediately.
