What to consider during installation for a new roof on a Commercial Building
Once your new roof has been designed, materials selected, and permits secured, the installation process begins. This phase is where the planning and preparation come together, and we focus on installing your new roof with precision, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your business. At Buck Roofing, we follow a structured process that ensures a high-quality result every time.
Removal & Prep Work
If your building has an existing roof that needs to be replaced, we begin with the removal of the old roof. This includes:
- Tearing off old roofing materials: Our team carefully removes the existing roofing system (shingles, membrane, etc.), ensuring no damage to the underlying structure.
- Disposing of debris: We clean up and haul away the old materials safely and responsibly.
- Roof deck inspection: After the old roof is removed, we inspect the roof deck (the base layer of the roof) for any signs of damage, mold, or rot. If any structural repairs are needed, we’ll address them before proceeding.
Roof Installation
With a clean, prepared surface, we begin the actual roof installation. This involves several stages, depending on the type of roofing material being used:
- Underlayment: This is the first layer of protection between the roofing deck and the new roofing material. We install high-quality underlayment, which helps prevent leaks and provides additional insulation.
- Flashing: We carefully install flashing around critical areas, such as chimneys, skylights, vents, and the edges of the roof. Flashing is essential for preventing water penetration in these susceptible spots.
- Installing the roofing system: Whether we’re installing TPO, EPDM, PVC, or metal roofing, our experienced crew works efficiently to lay down the materials.
- Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial to the longevity and energy efficiency of your roof.
Debris Removal & Site Cleanup
Our Buck Roofing team takes extra care to ensure that your property is kept tidy throughout the project and thoroughly cleaned once the job is complete.
- Throughout the roof install, we take several steps to manage the project debris. Our crew regularly clears materials and other project-related items from the site, reducing hazards and minimizing clutter.
- We use tarps, dumpsters, and other tools to ensure the debris stays organized.
- Once the roofing work is done, we conduct a thorough clean-up of the site. This includes removing all roofing materials, equipment, and any other debris generated during the installation.
Final Walk-Through
At Buck Roofing, we believe that the job isn’t finished until you are completely satisfied. Our final walk-through ensures that every aspect of the roofing project meets your expectations, and that the worksite is left neat.
