Our Cedar Shake Roof Installation Process
We follow a clear, step-by-step approach to ensure your cedar shake roof is durable, efficient, and visually appealing. From thorough preparation to final quality checks, each phase is carefully managed to meet the highest standards.
1. Site Assessment
We begin by inspecting the existing roof structure to assess its condition and identify any necessary repairs. This includes checking for rot, mold, or structural weaknesses that could affect the new cedar shakes.
Our team measures the roof accurately and plans the layout to ensure optimal coverage and proper water drainage. We also remove old roofing materials safely to prepare a clean, solid base for installation.
Additionally, we install proper underlayment and ventilation systems to protect your home and extend the life of the cedar shakes. This foundation step is crucial for long-term performance.
2. Skilled Project Management
Throughout the installation, our project managers coordinate every task to maintain efficiency and meet timelines. We assign experienced crews who specialize in cedar shake roofing to maintain high workmanship quality.
Communication is consistent; we keep clients informed about progress and any challenges that arise. Our detailed scheduling reduces delays and minimizes disruptions to your daily routine.
Safety protocols are strictly followed at every stage. Using the appropriate tools and techniques, we handle the natural wood shakes carefully to prevent damage during installation.
3. Final Inspection
Once installation is complete, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure all shakes are securely fastened and properly aligned. We check for gaps and uniformity to guarantee excellent weather resistance.
Our team inspects flashing, gutters, and vents to confirm everything integrates seamlessly with the new roof. We also look for any signs of potential leak points and address them immediately.
Cleanup follows strict guidelines: we remove all construction debris, nails, and waste. We leave the site clean and safe, ensuring your property is as tidy as before we arrived.
