Building a new home or adding on to your existing one? Dowling 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 Dowling build.
We install to manufacturer specifications and local Dowling 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
Design Consultation
Meet with our Dowling project coordinator to select materials, review color options, and confirm the installation scope. We work with your GC or architect to ensure the roof spec meets the overall building design.
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.
Certified Installation
From underlayment to ridge cap, every layer installed in the correct sequence by certified crews. A project manager is on-site for new construction installs to ensure quality at every stage.
Final Inspection
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.
