When you're building new in Durham, the roof is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It protects everything underneath it for the next 30-50 years. Durham Roofing & Maintenance helps you choose the right material, designs proper ventilation, and installs it to manufacturer specifications.
We install to manufacturer specifications and local Durham building codes. That means proper underlayment per ASTM standards, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, correct nailing patterns, and ventilation sized to the space. Every component documented for your warranty registration and building inspection.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Plan Review & Consultation
We analyze your plans for pitch, square footage, ventilation needs, and code compliance. You get a detailed proposal with material specs, timeline, and fixed pricing before any work begins.
Preparation
We coordinate delivery timing with your GC so materials don't sit exposed longer than necessary. Our staging crew organizes everything on the roof deck for efficient installation the next morning.
Expert Installation
Our Durham crew installs every layer to manufacturer specifications: underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter strip, field material, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation. Every fastener placed per the manufacturer nailing schedule.
Warranty Registration
We schedule the building inspection and walk the roof with the inspector. Your manufacturer warranty gets registered the same day the roof passes inspection. You receive warranty paperwork within a week.
