Noise, Noise, Noise
Although this isn’t technically one of the steps involved with a roof replacement, it’s something you should expect throughout the process. From removing the old roof to installing the underlayment and the new shingles, there will be lots of banging and scraping. Therefore, it’s best to stay elsewhere while your roof is being replaced, at least while work is ongoing.
Removing and Disposing of the Old Roof
The first step of a roof replacement in El Paso is to remove the old roof. This involves using scrapers to pry up the existing shingles and nails. It will also mean removing the underlayment, as it’s likely damaged, and you must install a new one.
Install the New Underlayment
On that note, we come to the next step of the roof installation process – installing the underlayment. The underlayment is a protective layer that goes between your shingles and the joists in your roof. Underlayment installation also involves installing a thin plastic layer for moisture protection and leak prevention.
Install the New Shingles
With the underlayment in place, we’re ready to install your brand-new asphalt shingles. This is typically the noisiest part of the installation process, and you should expect to hear lots of banging.
Install Vents and Flashing
Next, we’ll go through and re-install all of your vents, flashings, and anything else sticking through your roof. This could include chimney flues, water heater vents, PVC pipes, and more. Re-installing vents and flashings is one of the most important steps in the roof replacement process, as it’s when most leaks occur.
Clean Up
Once the work is finished with your roof replacement, we’ll conduct a final walk-through to make any additional repairs and problems. We’ll also check for leaks and clean up the mess we made to leave your property even cleaner than it was when we arrived.
