Roof Installation

Roof Installation in Lakeway, Texas

A new roof on a new structure has no old mistakes to work around — which makes the detailing decisions made in the first two days the ones that determine whether the roof is still dry in twenty years.

What installation involves

Installations cover new homes, additions, garage and carport roofs, porches, outbuildings, sunrooms and the re-roof of a structure whose decking is being replaced entirely. The work is similar to a replacement, but the sequencing is different: we are often following framers and sheathing crews, so timing and coordination matter as much as the roofing itself.

We install complete roof systems to the manufacturer’s written specification — underlayment, ice-and-water protection, valley linings, drip edge, ventilation, fastening patterns — because that specification is what the warranty is conditioned on.

What roof installation actually is

Roof installation means building the finished roof system over a new or exposed deck: laying the underlayment and membrane, installing valley metal and drip edge, flashing the walls and penetrations, and installing the chosen surface material with the correct fastening pattern and ventilation.

On new construction it usually starts before the structure is weather-tight, so the first job is often a dry-in — underlayment only — to protect the framing, followed by the finished surface later.

Problems this solves

  • A new addition or garage that needs a roof matched to the existing house
  • An outbuilding, shop or carport with exposed sheathing
  • A structure whose decking had to be replaced, so the whole surface is new
  • New construction where the general contractor needs a roofing crew on a schedule
  • A re-roof where the existing roof structure is being modified — a new dormer, a raised ridge, a removed chimney

Benefits

  • Correct code-compliant detailing from the start, including ventilation designed for the structure rather than inherited from it
  • Material choices matched to the existing house where the new roof adjoins it
  • Coordination with framers, electricians and HVAC so penetrations are flashed in the right order
  • Manufacturer-spec installation, which keeps the material warranty valid
  • A structure that passes inspection without corrections

When homeowners call us for this

  • Any new roof deck that has been sheathed and is ready for underlayment
  • Additions and extensions where a roof has to tie into an existing roof plane
  • Detached garages, workshops, barns, porches and sunrooms
  • After structural changes: new dormers, ridge changes, chimney removal
  • Where an existing roof has failed at the deck level and sheathing is being replaced as part of the work

What is included

  • Deck preparation, including re-nailing or replacing sheathing that does not meet nailing requirements
  • Underlayment, and ice-and-water protection at eaves, valleys, penetrations and wall intersections
  • Valley metal, drip edge, and counter or step flashing at every wall and penetration
  • Ventilation designed to the structure — ridge, soffit, gable, off-ridge or mechanical
  • Surface material installed to the manufacturer’s pattern and specification
  • Site protection, cleanup and a final inspection walkthrough

How roof installation works with our crews

The same sequence every time, because it is the sequence that protects you: evidence first, price second, work third, documentation last.

01

Scope review

Drawings or a site visit to confirm pitches, tie-ins, penetrations and the ventilation strategy.

02

Written quote

Per-square pricing, material specification and clear exclusions.

03

Deck check

Sheathing nailing pattern and thickness verified before underlayment goes down.

04

Dry-in

Underlayment and membranes installed so the structure is protected from the weather.

05

Finish and flash

Surface material, valleys, wall and penetration flashing, ventilation, ridge.

06

Inspection support

Photos, documentation and anything the local inspector asks for.

Where this work goes wrong

These are the failure patterns we are called in to correct most often — usually after someone else was paid to do it once already. Knowing them is the best protection you have when comparing quotes.

Missing ice-and-water protection

Skipping the membrane at eaves and valleys saves a few hundred dollars and costs a ceiling when a wind-driven storm or an ice dam arrives.

Wall flashing installed after the siding

Sequencing errors mean step flashing has to be forced in later, and it never seats correctly. It has to be planned with the siding and framing crews.

Ventilation ignored

A new roof with no intake ventilation will run hot and fail early. Ventilation is designed, not assumed.

Penetrations flashed with sealant

Every pipe, cable, vent and HVAC penetration needs a mechanical flashing — not a bed of butyl or caulk.

What installation costs

Installation pricing is quoted per square (100 sq ft) and reflects deck condition, pitch, access, number of layers, complexity of the tie-ins and the material selected. As a rough national guide, an asphalt system runs roughly $450 to $900 per square installed on a straightforward roof, with metal, tile and complex geometries costing considerably more.

Because new-build work is often sequenced with other trades, ask for the quote to state clearly what is excluded: sheathing replacement, ventilation components, chimney flashing or roof-to-wall tie-ins are the usual suspects.

What moves the price: roof size and pitch, how many layers have to come off, access and height, the condition of the decking, and the material you choose. A quote that does not mention most of those is a quote that will change later.

Why homeowners choose us

We install to spec and to code, and we document it. On a new structure, that documentation — photos of the membrane, the flashing and the fastening before the surface went on — is the only way anyone will ever know the details were done right.

We also work to the schedule of the build. Crews that arrive late hold up siding, gutters and inspections, and we plan around that.

Frequently asked questions

Can you match the roof on my existing house?

Usually yes. We match profile, colour and exposure, and where a discontinued shingle line makes an exact match impossible we will tell you before you order and suggest the closest available option or a design tie-in such as a metal transition.

Do you handle the underlayment for a staged build?

Yes. Dry-in work is common on new construction, and we can return for the finished surface once other trades have finished their penetrations.

How do you price new-construction roofing?

Per square, with adjustments for pitch, complexity, height and access. We will ask to see plans or measure the deck, and the quote will state the underlayment, membrane and ventilation specification explicitly.

Will the roof pass inspection?

It is installed to the applicable code and manufacturer specification, and we provide photos and documentation for the inspection file. Any correction notices we receive on our own scope are handled at no additional cost.

Do you offer roof installation near Lakeway, Texas?

Yes — Lakeway is inside our coverage area and crews are routed to that market on a published dispatch priority. Call (858) 779-8014 and the dispatcher will confirm scheduling for your address and give you a realistic window rather than a marketing one.

What does roof installation cost?

Installation pricing is quoted per square (100 sq ft) and reflects deck condition, pitch, access, number of layers, complexity of the tie-ins and the material selected. You get a written price before any work starts, and anything discovered mid-job is priced, photographed and approved by you rather than added to an invoice at the end.
