New Roof Installation for Oxford Builds, Additions and Porches

Roofing New Construction

On a new home, new construction roofing means we coordinate with the builder on deck inspection, flashing at walls and windows, ventilation and the order of trades. Starting with a fresh deck lets us install underlayment, leak barrier and edge metal exactly to specification. We also confirm that bath fans, kitchen hoods and dryer vents exit through the roof or walls with proper flashing rather than ending in the attic, a detail that is easy to overlook while a house is going up. Our shingle installation in Oxford page covers product choices for new homes and replacements alike.

Tying an Addition Into an Existing Roof

The joint between old and new roofs is where many additions leak. We weave or flash the new section into the existing roof, extend leak barrier across the connection and match shingle color as closely as possible. When the existing roof is near the end of its life, we may suggest replacing both at once for a uniform look and a single warranty.

• Matching pitch and overhangs so the addition looks original.
• Valley and wall flashing where new meets old.
• Ventilation planned for both attic spaces.

Porches, Patios and Outbuildings

Covered porches often have lower roof pitches that need a membrane or metal instead of shingles. Detached garages, workshops and pavilions may suit exposed-fastener metal. If you are planning a covered porch addition, we can handle the framing and roofing under one plan.

Working Close to Home
