Asphalt Singles
Most asphalt roof shingles used today are technically known as asphalt fiberglass shingles because of the fiberglass mat embedded in the shingle that provides an extra measure of strength and tear resistance.
These shingles are affordable, easy to install, durable, and available in a wide variety of colors, which makes them the most popular type of roofing for sloped roofs. Premium grades of “laminated” asphalt fiberglass shingles are typically warrantied for 50 years.
Rubber Roofing
Frequently used for garage and porch roofing, Rubber roofs have a long lifespan and can withstand harsh New England weather conditions.
After years of research and development, there is finally rubber roofing that is thin, dependable, and waterproof. Also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) roofing, rubber roofing is ideal for flat or mostly-flat roofs on homes. EPDM has many benefits, including being resistant to tears, rips, and inclement weather.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is durable and has many available styles & colors to complement your home’s appearance.
When you choose metal roofing, you decide between factory-formed and finished roofing panels, or roofing panels that are cut and shaped on-site. Metal roofing works best on simple, flat roofs and installation of metal roofing is also non-invasive. Northeast Home & Energy can install most new metal roofs directly on top of your old existing roof with no without the need to remove the old material.
Our thorough roof assessment will help clarify what action you need to take to address any damage or problems you have, including:
Leaky Roof
Sagging Roof
Ice Dams
Unsecure Gutters
Damaged / Missing Shingles
Damaged / Missing Caulking
Decayed rubber boots around pipes
Deteriorated shingle granules
Cracked chimney or missing caps
Unsound wood rot
Removal
The process begins with removing all old roofing materials and evaluating the condition of the roof deck. At this time, we complete all necessary repairs.
Ice & Water
Our experienced roofers install a leak barrier along the eaves, valleys, and around chimneys to help keep water out of the most vulnerable areas of the roof.
Underlayment
Next, we lay down synthetic roof deck protection on the remainder of the roof. This underlayment that provides a critical extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck.
Drip Edge
Install drip edge along the eaves and rakes. This helps to divert water away from the fascia and protect the underlayment & roof deck.
Starter Shingles
After this, starter strip shingles are applied to the eaves and rakes of the house to ensure that strong wind does not rip off your shingles.
Shingles
After starter strip shingles, we install durable, high-quality Timberline HD asphalt shingles.
Ridge Vent
Ridge vents are placed along the roof’s peak. They work to release heat & moisture that could weaken your home’s structure and invite mold & mildew.
Ridge Cap
Finally, our roofing experts install ridge cap shingles to the hip and ridge areas of the roof, making your home more resilient against leaks and high winds.
- Pre-installation assessment: The process begins with a thorough assessment of the existing roof by a qualified professional from Northeast Home & Energy. We will evaluate the condition of the roof, identify any underlying issues, and determine the scope of work required for the replacement.
- Material selection and delivery: Once the assessment is complete, the homeowner can work with Northeast Home & Energy to select the appropriate roofing materials, such as shingle type, colors, etc. We will then order the materials and ensure their timely delivery to the project site.
- Preparation: On the day of installation, the crew from Northeast Home & Energy will arrive at the site with all the necessary tools, equipment, and materials. They will take steps to protect the property, such as covering windows and landscaping, to prevent damage during the installation process.
- Removal of old roofing: The existing roof will be carefully removed, ensuring that any underlying structural components or sheathing are not damaged in the process. The crew will dispose of the old materials in a responsible manner.
- Repairs and preparation: If any repairs or modifications are needed to the underlying structure, they will be addressed at this stage. The crew will also inspect and replace any damaged or rotten sheathing to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof.
- Installation: With the roof properly prepared, the crew will begin the installation of the new roofing materials. They will follow industry best practices, manufacturer guidelines, and local building codes to ensure a high-quality installation. This may involve laying down underlayment, applying flashing, and then installing the selected roofing materials.
- Finishing touches: Once the main installation is complete, the crew will focus on adding finishing touches, such as installing ridge vents, chimney flashing, and any other necessary accessories. They will also clean up the work area, removing debris and ensuring that the property is left in a tidy condition.
It’s important to note that the timeline for a one-day roof installation can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and any scheduling conflicts.
Roofs are far more complicated than most people think. They rely on a roofing system that stabilizes shingles, keeps moisture out of your home, and allows attics to ventilate.
We ensure an efficient and effective roofing system by having our skilled roofers use the highest quality materials. As a family-run business, we’re dedicated to completing every job with speed, quality, and attention to detail so that your family is safe & comfortable.
We stand behind our work and care about the quality & durability of our products – that’s why GAF, America’s choice in roofing materials, has recognized us as a Master Elite™ contractor.
