New Roof Installation in Florence
Building a new home, an addition or a casita? We put the roof on from the bare deck up: underlayment, flashing, vents and your choice of tile, shingle or foam. The same small crew handles your job from measuring day to the last swept nail.
A Roof for a Structure That Doesn't Have One Yet
New roof installation is for a roof that does not exist yet. That means a new home, a room addition, a casita, a detached garage or a patio that is getting a solid roof. There is no old roof to tear off. We start at the framing and build every layer up to the finished surface.
If your home already has a worn-out roof, that is a different job, and our Roof Replacement page covers it. This work is about getting a new structure dried in, sealed and finished so it matches your home and holds up to long summers of hard sun.
We are a small team. The people who measure your roof are the people who roll out the underlayment and set the last tile. You talk to the same crew lead from the first visit to cleanup, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a crew you have never met.
What Goes Into the Job
- 01
A close look at the deck
Before anything goes down, we walk the sheathing. We check for loose panels, missed nails and framing that is out of line. If something needs fixing, we tell you or your builder before we cover it up.
- 02
Underlayment made for heat
Roof decks here stay hot for months. We use underlayment rated for high temperatures so it does not soften, wrinkle or dry out under tile or shingles. On a tile roof it does most of the waterproofing, so we do not cut corners on it.
- 03
Flashing and tie-ins
When an addition meets your existing roof, the joint between them is where leaks usually start. We tie the new section into the old one and flash every wall, vent and skylight with metal, not a bead of sealant.
- 04
Attic ventilation
We plan intake and exhaust vents so hot air can leave the attic. A cooler deck is easier on the underlayment and on your cooling bill.
- 05
The finished surface
Tile, shingle or foam, picked to fit the roof pitch and the look of your home. Low-slope sections usually get foam or another system from our Flat Roofing work.
- 06
Permit and cleanup
We pull the roofing permit and meet the building department's steps. At the end we run a magnet over the yard and haul off every scrap.
Questions about New Roof Installation?
Call(520) 395-8127When You Need a New Roof Installed
You're building a new home
Your framing is up and you need a roofer who can dry it in on schedule and finish it right.
You're adding a room or a second story
The new section needs its own roof and a clean tie-in to the old one, so the two read as one roof.
You're putting up a casita or garage
A detached building is a small roof, but it still needs proper underlayment, flashing and vents.
Your patio cover is becoming a real roof
Turning an open shade structure into a solid, closed-in roof calls for a deck, an underlayment and a pitch or foam system that sheds water.
The framing is waiting on a roofer
Bare sheathing does not like sun or rain. If your project is stalled at this stage, we can talk about getting it covered.
How a New Roof Goes On
- 1
Phone call and site visit
You tell us about the project. Then we come out, look at the plans or the framing, and measure the pitch and the square footage.
- 2
Written estimate and material choice
You get a line-item estimate so you can see what each part costs. We bring samples and help you pick a material and color that fit your home.
- 3
Permit and scheduling
We pull the permit and order materials. In the summer we start early in the morning, and during monsoon season we plan the dry-in around the weather.
- 4
Install days
Underlayment and flashing go on first so the structure is sealed. Then the finished surface goes down. The same crew is on your roof every day.
- 5
Final walk-through
We walk the roof and the yard with you, answer questions and hand over the warranty paperwork.
What Sets the Price of a New Roof
We price each new roof from its own plans and measurements. You won't hear a number from us until we've walked the job. Here is what tends to push the total up or down.
- Square footage and slope
- More roof area means more underlayment, more finish material and more days on the deck. Steep pitches also cost more, since the crew moves slower and has to rig harnesses and roof jacks before setting anything.
- Your choice of material
- Tile, shingle and foam differ in what they cost to buy and to put on. Tile is heavy and gets set piece by piece, so it runs slower. Shingles cover ground quicker.
- Valleys, walls and tie-ins
- Every valley, skylight and wall line needs its own flashing. Joining the new roof to an existing one adds more of that detail work and more time.
- Shape of the sheathing
- New framing is usually ready for us. When panels need extra nails or a repair before we cover them, we list that separately on your estimate.
- Getting to the roof and fitting the schedule
- A tight lot or a two-story wall makes the work harder to reach. How your builder's timeline matches ours can shift the labor too.
New Roof Installation Questions
How is this different from a roof replacement?
A replacement removes an old roof and puts a new one on the same structure. New installation goes on framing that has never had a roof. There is no tear-off, but there is often more coordination with a builder or with your existing roofline.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
The roofing materials carry a 30-year manufacturer warranty from the companies that make them. We go over what it covers when we hand you the paperwork at the end of the job.
Can you match my new roof to the one I already have?
We try. Shingle colors are usually easy to match. Some concrete tile profiles get discontinued, so we bring samples and tell you plainly if the match will be close rather than exact.
Will you work with my builder?
Yes. We talk with your builder or general contractor about when the framing will be ready and line up our dry-in with their schedule. You still get one crew lead to call with questions.
How long does it take?
It depends on size and material. A casita or small addition usually takes a few days. A full new home takes longer, and tile takes more time than shingles. We give you a realistic schedule with your estimate.
