Preparation and Permits
Before installation begins, the contractor will handle necessary preparations, including obtaining permits and ordering materials. They will also take steps to protect your property during the project.
Installation
The installation process typically involves removing the old roof, installing underlayment, and then applying the new roofing material. Professional roofers will follow industry best practices and safety standards to ensure a quality installation.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
Once the installation is complete, the contractor will conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that everything meets quality standards. They will address any remaining concerns and provide you with a walkthrough of the finished project. They will also clean up the worksite, ensuring your property is left in pristine condition.
Post-Installation Care
Most roofing contractors offer warranties on their work and materials. Be sure to review the terms of the warranty and keep it on file for future reference. Your contractor may also schedule a follow-up inspection to ensure that your new roof is performing as expected or provide guidance on post-installation care, such as inspecting your roof regularly for any signs of damage.
