Shingle removal is the first step in a full roof replacement effort. After laying down tarps to protect your landscaping, we’ll pull off your old shingles and collect them in a carefully positioned dumpster. This will ensure that we minimize any damage or unnecessary waste throughout the removal process. We’ll then transport the shingles off of the site and dispose of them properly.

Before we lay down new shingles, we need to make sure your roof’s foundation is solid. The foundation of the roof provides the sturdiness needed to ensure that it will not cave or collapse. In addition, it is the last barrier to ensure there is no interior water damage in the presence of precipitation. We scrutinize every square inch of the foundation and repair any weaknesses we find.

The next step in the process is the application of waterproof underlayment. This all-important waterproof barrier goes down before new shingles. In times of heavy rain or continued pile-up of snow in the winter, this barrier will help ensure that no matter how wet the shingles are getting, this precipitation will not leak into the foundation of the roof and the floors below. Our company customizes the type of underlying waterproof material based on which shingles you’ve chosen for your new roof.

The bulk amount of time and effort will then go into the installation of each shingle onto the roof. One roof can have hundreds if not thousands of shingles, all of which need to evoke a sense of unity and purposefulness. Using our team’s years of experience and dedication, we install shingles with care and commitment to the highest quality work. By positioning and anchoring each shingle into the perfect spot, we account for and strive for optimal performance and beauty.

Flashing ensures that areas of the roof that are not uniform or made for a simple underlay/shingle installation get the proper treatment that they deserve. If your home has any roof valleys, skylights, or chimneys on the top surface, flashing installation from Halbrook Quality Roofing will ensure that moisture flows away from these structural features.

Some of the final touch-ups that go into place during a roof replacement process include drip edging and gutter installation. These features are generally made for two reasons. The first reason is to prevent prolonged moisture to sit on the roof and potentially seep through the multiple layers into the foundation of the roof or below. The other reason is to ensure that water is flowing and dripping into areas of the external property that are not as heavily trafficked. You wouldn’t want your roof to drain right into your home’s entranceway, so we make sure that this possibility does not become true. We’ll equip your roof to transport moisture away from your home’s foundation, prolonging the entire structure’s lifespan.
