How long does a new roof installation take?

Most residential new roof installations take 2 to 5 days depending on the size of the home, complexity of the design, and type of material. Weather can also affect the timeline. We'll give you a realistic schedule before we start and keep you updated throughout the project.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We obtain all necessary permits for your roofing installation and coordinate with local building inspectors. This ensures your roof meets all code requirements and protects you from potential issues down the road. It's all included in our service.

What warranties come with a new roof installation?

You typically get two warranties: a manufacturer's warranty on the materials (usually 20 to 50 years depending on the product) and our workmanship warranty on the installation. We stand behind our work and will address any installation-related issues.

Roof Installation

Expert roof installation for new homes and additions that lasts for decades.

Building a new home or adding onto your existing one? The roof is one of the most critical decisions you'll make. A properly installed roof protects your investment for decades and keeps your family safe and comfortable. At WiseWorks Brentwood Roofers, we specialize in new roof installations that combine quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We'll help you choose the right roofing system and install it correctly the first time.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Your roof is only as good as the installation. Even the best materials won't perform properly if they're not installed correctly. Here's what professional installation gives you:

•Long-term performance. Proper installation techniques ensure your roof performs as designed for its entire lifespan.
•Warranty protection. Most manufacturer warranties require professional installation. DIY or improper installation voids those warranties.
•Code compliance. We know local building codes and make sure your roof meets all requirements for permits and inspections.
•Energy efficiency. Proper ventilation and insulation during installation keeps your home comfortable and lowers energy bills.
•Safety. Roofing is dangerous work. Our trained crews have the equipment and experience to work safely at heights.

Our Installation Process

We take new roof installation seriously, because we know it needs to last. Here's our step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Planning and Material Selection

We work with you and your builder to understand your needs, budget, and design preferences. We help you select the right roofing material for Brentwood's climate and your home's style. We provide detailed estimates so there are no surprises.

Step 2: Preparation

Before installation day, we handle all permits and coordinate with your builder's schedule. We order materials and schedule our crew to minimize delays.

Step 3: Underlayment and Flashing

We start with a quality underlayment that provides an extra layer of water protection. We install flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof edges to create watertight seals. This is where many problems start, so we pay close attention to every detail.

Step 4: Roofing Material Installation

We install your chosen roofing material following manufacturer specifications and best practices. Whether it's shingles, metal panels, tiles, or another material, we use proper techniques to ensure long-lasting performance.

Step 5: Ventilation and Final Details

We install proper ventilation to allow air circulation in your attic, which prevents heat and moisture buildup. We add ridge caps, edge trim, and other finishing touches. Then we clean up completely, leaving your property neat and your roof beautiful.

Step 6: Inspection and Warranty

We conduct a final inspection to make sure everything meets our standards. We provide you with warranty information and care instructions. Your new roof is ready to protect your home for decades.

Choosing the Right Material for Your New Roof

We install all major types of roofing materials. Each has advantages depending on your priorities:

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for new homes. They're affordable, versatile, and available in many colors and styles. They typically last 20 to 30 years and work well in Brentwood's climate.

Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts 40 to 70 years. It's extremely durable, fire-resistant, and reflects heat, which can lower cooling costs. Great for homeowners who want a long-term investment.

Tile roofing offers a distinctive look and exceptional durability. Clay or concrete tiles can last 50 years or more. They're heavier, so your home needs proper structural support, but they're virtually maintenance-free.

Not sure what's right for your project? We'll explain the pros, cons, and costs of each option. You can also explore our residential roofing services to learn more about materials we work with.

Our experience with new construction means we know what to expect and how to avoid common problems. We communicate clearly, document our work, and make sure inspections go smoothly.
