New construction roofing in Lewisville, TX
New construction roofing is specified on the plans, on a bare deck, with nothing already up there to argue about.
Send the roof plan and a roofer prices the assembly from the drawings.
New construction roofing in Lewisville, TX begins on the plans
New construction roofing in Lewisville, TX gets settled long before a roofer is on site. Pitch, valley count, penetration layout and where the intake and exhaust vents can go are all fixed by the drawings, and a roof that was drawn well is simple to build.
A new roof in Lewisville, TX carries one advantage no replacement can match. Ventilation gets designed into the house instead of retrofitted around whatever the last roofer left, and the deck is inspected while every sheet of it is visible.
- The drawings set the shape: pitch, valleys, dormers and the penetration layout
- The specification sets the assembly: shingle line, underlayment and the ventilation plan
- The build sequence sets the timing: the roof follows the framers and precedes everything inside
Deck, ventilation, underlayment and the details at every edge
What a new roof specification covers, in the order it goes together. Each item is settled on paper before a roofer is on site.
- 01Deck
- Sheathing thickness, fastening pattern and clips at the panel edges, checked while all of it is open. This is the only moment in the roof's life when every sheet is visible.
- 02Ventilation plan
- Intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge, sized to the attic. Designing this correctly once is worth more than any premium shingle.
- 03Ice-and-water and underlayment
- Membrane at valleys, eaves and penetrations; synthetic underlayment over the field. Dry-in follows the same day the deck is accepted.
- 04Flashing details
- Step and counter flashing at every wall, kickouts where a roof meets a wall above a gutter, and proper collars at each pipe. Kickouts are the detail most often missing on a new build.
- 05Roof covering
- The shingle or panel line the specification calls for, installed to the manufacturer's pattern so its warranty stands. A pattern deviation is what a manufacturer looks for when a claim arrives.
- 06Edge metal and ridge
- Drip edge at eave and rake, ridge vent and cap, and the trim that finishes the perimeter. The perimeter is where wind gets its first hold.
The workmanship warranty belongs to the roofer doing the work; the material warranty comes from the manufacturer.
The roofer arrives when Lewisville framers hand over the deck
How a build typically runs. Sequencing belongs to the builder, and a roofer works to it. The assembly is the same one described on the materials guide, and the shingle page covers the covering.
Plans reviewed and materials ordered
Quantities come off the drawings, and long-lead items get ordered against the framing date.
Deck inspected and dried in
The sheathing is checked, then underlayment goes down quickly. Dry-in protects everything the other trades are about to install.
Flashing and covering
Wall flashings, penetrations and edge metal, then the covering worked up the slopes.
Ridge, cleanup and documentation
Ridge vent and cap finished, the site cleared, and the warranty paperwork issued to whoever holds the contract.
What to look at on a new roof before you sign it off
A new roof is the easiest one to check, because everything is still visible and nothing has weathered yet. Roof inspections cover the same list if you want one done independently.
- Ventilation that matches the plan, at the ridge and at the soffit
- Ice-and-water where the valleys and the eaves call for it
- Flashing at every wall and penetration, with sealant only where it belongs
- Drip edge present on the rakes as well as the eaves
- A deck dried in the day it was ready, not left open to weather
A new Lewisville roof is specified before anything is on the deck
On a bare deck every choice is still open, which is the one time ventilation and underlayment are cheap to get right. A roofer works from the plans, since nothing is up there yet to argue with.
- 01At plan stage
- Ventilation designed on paper costs nothing; retrofitted later it costs a day of work.
- 02Dry-in
- The deck is covered the day it is ready, because weather does not wait for a schedule.
- 03The city
- New work is inspected here, and the roof is part of what gets signed off.
