New Roof Installation
New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Franklin Springs crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our Franklin Springs crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Flat Roofing
The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial Roofing
Your commercial roof has HVAC units, exhaust fans, plumbing vents, and satellite dishes punching through it. Every penetration is a potential leak point. We install prefabricated curbs, custom-welded flashings, and pitch pans that handle foot traffic and thermal cycling without failing.

Gutter Installation
Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in Franklin Springs. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for Franklin Springs: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.

Roof Inspection
Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance. Permanent repair scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.

Skylight Installation
VELUX FS (fixed) and VS (vented) skylights installed with EDL flashing kits for shingle roofs. The multi-step flashing integrates with the surrounding shingle courses per IRC R903.2. We frame the curb with doubled 2x8 or 2x10 lumber (depending on rafter depth), install ice and water shield membrane around the entire curb perimeter, then set the skylight with factory sealant before weaving step flashing into the field. Top headwall flashing tucks under the upslope shingle course. Bottom sill pan diverts water onto the downslope shingles. Zero exposed sealant joints. Mechanical flashing only.
