Building a new home or commercial building requires significant research, planning, and decision making. Along the way, you will need to determine what type of roof you will want. Because it is a primary piece of any structure, it is often one of the initial and extremely important decisions to be made. After all, the roof is what protects your family, office space, and precious belongings from the elements.
Likely, your construction contractor will have a list of roofers they typically work with or their company might do it themselves. You have the option to hire your own roofer to complete the job too. Working with the roofing company gives you more control of the project and comes with several advantages. Keep reading for three advantages of working with new construction roofer.
What is new construction roofing?
New construction roofing is exactly as it sounds, a roof installation for new construction. Whether you are building a new home, office building for your business, or a commercial building, you will need a roof for it. Often confused with re-roofing, this is going to include different planning and prep work. Also, there are different materials needed for a new construction roof and the cost will be a bit different as well since there is not currently a roof to remove.
3 Advantages Of Working w/ A Roofer
1. Design The Roof
Many new home buyers do not tend to think of the roof and how it can be modified to fit their needs. Designing the roof of your new home can be extremely beneficial to you as you design the rest of the home and in the future. Some homeowners like the aesthetics of a home with a lot of peaks and valleys. Others might not want to need to clean those valleys after each storm. It is all based on your wants and needs.
Based on your design wants and needs, a professional roofer can help your general contractor to further design the rest of your new home. This also comes into play when choosing materials and other materials.
2. Material Selection
Working with a roofing contractor on material selection can be extremely beneficial. A roofer knows roofs, of course, but they can be very helpful in supporting you in your selection of material. They will know what is best for your area and the home or building you are constructing. Additionally, if you have a specific budget in mind, the roofer will be able to choose materials to stay within it.
Choosing the roofing material early in your design process will help with the rest of the building design. For example, in Arizona where tile roofs are extremely popular, the structure of the home needs to be able to withstand the weight of tiles. Where if a metal roof is installed, there might be more flexibility as it is not as heavy. Working with a roofer, they will know exactly what material will be best and help you make the best choice for your wants.
3. Safety, Inspections, & Permits
Safety should be the priority of any construction contractor, but a roof requires additional safety measures. Working at various heights with heavy and awkwardly shaped materials requires a great deal of safety and knowledge with how to work with them. A roofing company likely undergoes a lot of training and carries necessary insurance to cover any issues.
A roofing company also knows the permits required to complete a new construction project. They will have the resources to apply for and obtain these permits in a timely manner. Along with permits, a roofer will know what inspections are needed and will also have the resources to complete them.
