Choosing the system before anyone orders material
A new roof installation opens with choosing the right material for the house, the budget, and the exposure, and we lay out the genuine trade-offs rather than steering you toward whatever product is easiest for us. Architectural asphalt covers most Summit homes for good reasons. It is easy on the budget, comes in a range of colors that flatter the traditional architecture around the borough, and is proven and simple to repair down the road. Standing-seam metal asks more up front but outlasts asphalt by a wide margin, sheds snow, and gives ice dams far less to grab, which counts on the low-pitch eaves and busy rooflines so many Summit houses wear. The right pick turns on the house and on how long you mean to stay under it.
Because we make our living installing the roof rather than pushing one product, the advice is rooted in what genuinely fits your situation, and the cost of each option is on the quote so you can weigh them yourself. An owner settling in for the long haul often comes out ahead on the longer-lived material, all the more so given how rough Summit's wind and tree cover are on a roof, while another owner is served perfectly well by quality asphalt. We give you the honest side-by-side with the numbers attached and leave the choice to you.
Every layer earning its place in the price
A new roof is far more than the surface you can see, and the quote reflects that rather than hiding it. On new builds and additions we raise the complete assembly from the deck up. We confirm the sheathing, lay quality underlayment with ice-and-water shield along the eaves and through the valleys where Summit's winters and leaf litter force water back up under a roof, set fresh flashing at every wall and penetration, run a clean drip edge, and finish with the roofing material itself. Each layer carries a job, and the roof only performs when all of them are pulling together.
Ventilation is engineered in from the start, which is one of the real prizes of getting the roof right on a new build. Balanced intake down at the eaves and exhaust up at the ridge holds the attic near outdoor temperature, which spares the roof the summer heat that bakes shingles from beneath and, just as importantly, keeps the deck cold enough in winter to choke off the melt-and-refreeze cycle that spawns ice dams. Plenty of roofs die young because the original airflow was wrong from day one, and a new install is the moment to get it right for the life of the roof.
Permitted, inspected, and timed to the build
A new roof is worth doing properly from the paperwork up. We pull whatever permit the job requires, install to the maker's specification so the material warranty actually stands, and have the work inspected as the code demands. Cutting any of those corners might shave a little off the front end, but it puts the warranty, the insurance, and the resale of the house at risk, and that is simply not how we work or how we quote.
Working in step with the rest of a build is part of doing a new roof well. On new construction and additions the roof has to drop into the right slot in the schedule, once the framing and sheathing are ready and in time with the other trades, so the structure gets dried in without holding up the work behind it. We stay in touch with the homeowner and, where it applies, the general contractor to time the install correctly rather than treating the roof as a stray task wedged into the middle of a project. It all begins with a free, no-pressure consultation, where we look over the project, talk through the material choices and what each one costs you over time, and put a clear, itemized written estimate in your hands. When the new roof is finished you walk away with the documentation, the manufacturer coverage, and our own workmanship guarantee on top.
