Building a new home or adding on to your existing one? Gerton Roofing & Maintenance handles new roof installation from decking to ridge cap. We work with your general contractor or architect to coordinate scheduling, material selection, and code compliance for your Gerton build.
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements per IRC R806 based on your attic square footage. Balanced ventilation (soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust) keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter, extending roof life and reducing energy costs.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Plan Review & Consultation
We review your building plans, discuss material options, and calculate ventilation requirements. Roof pitch, attic space, local code amendments, and your aesthetic preferences all factor into the recommendation.
Pre-Installation Setup
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.
Certified Installation
Our Gerton 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.
