Our New Roof Installation Process
Project Planning
We analyze your plans for pitch, square footage, ventilation needs, and code compliance. You get a detailed proposal with material specs, timeline, and fixed pricing before any work begins.
Material Delivery & Staging
Materials delivered and staged on-site the day before installation. Shingle pallets, underlayment rolls, flashing stock, ridge vent, and fasteners, everything confirmed against the project spec sheet.
Professional Installation
From underlayment to ridge cap, every layer installed in the correct sequence by certified crews. A project manager is on-site for new construction installs to ensure quality at every stage.
Final Inspection
Final quality check against manufacturer installation requirements. Building inspection coordinated through our Highwood office. Warranty registered directly with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed.

About Our Highwood New Roof Installation Services
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements per IRC R806 based on your attic square footage. Balanced ventilation (soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust) keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter, extending roof life and reducing energy costs.
Typical new roof installation in Highwood takes 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We coordinate with your builder on scheduling, material delivery, and inspection timing. Materials are staged on-site the day before install to keep the project on schedule.
