San Antonio New Construction Roofing

New Construction Roofing in San Antonio, TX

New roofing construction is very different than the repairing or a replacement of a roof. Construction means building the entire roof from scratch, which includes everything from the sheathing to the flashing. Actual roofing construction is needed when building a new home that has never had a roof, or if the old roof has been damaged beyond repair which is most likely due to natural disasters such as tornadoes. Whichever the case may be, it is crucial that your property’s roof is constructed with the utmost care and precision. Making sure that your roofing system functions flawlessly will help your roof perform at its very best for a very long time.

I recently had to file a claim on my home due to some storm damage to my roof. Presidio Roofing and Mike Tavenner were very helpful. They were able to help me navigate the claim and get everything taken care of quickly. My new roof is great and I could not be happier. Presidio Roofing is on the ball. 5 star company for sure.

We recently had a big storm blow through and found some shingles in our yard. We contacted Mike Tavenner from Presidio Roofing of San Antonio and could not have been happier. He was professional, informative, and fast. He did not try to sell us anything that was not necessary, but did provide several options to consider. We had our roof repaired within days of the initial inspection. I highly recommend Presidio Roofing to anyone in need.

I have worked with Presidio on a lot of roofing projects over the years. We have properties around Texas including in San Antonio and they are always there for us which is why we love working with them, no matter where the home is located. Recently they helped us out with a storm damage assessment on one of our properties in Shavano Park. They gave us a photo report, some recommendations, and as usual were punctual and professional. I have worked with Nick, Robbie, Jon, and Tom over the years and really appreciate everything they offer. If you need anything roof related – call Presidio. They will take care of you!

Years ago our home insurance company recommended Presidio Roofing. That was wonderful advice and they installed our roof. Jumping forward to today last week at 1:30am it sounded like someone was breaking into our house. I determined the noise was coming from the roof. As soon as I went outside the noise stopped. At sunrise, I looked at the roof the best I could from the ground. I decided I better call Presidio Roof just incase. The was a good decision. Johnathan Whitaker came out very quickly that morning and determined some critter decided to eat our vent pipe flashing and exposed an opening in our roof. Johnathan made the repair and recommended to replace all the vent pipe flashing’s with all metal vent pipe boots. This was another good recommendation. Today Johnathan replaced all the vent pipe flashing’s with metal ones. No more problems. Johathan Whitaker thank you for your service. A very professional experience and as you said if there is ever an issue you all are just a phone call away.Thanks

Constructing a Roof

The Framing

Framing is the first step of construction and is just what it sounds like. It’s constructing the frame in which the rest of the roof will be built upon. This is when the pitch of the roof will be determined.

The Pitch

Determining the proper pitch is extremely important. Factors that go into the pitch not only include the plans and aesthetics, but also the materials that will be used. Certain roofing materials are not compatible with low slopes and can actually put your roofing system at risk. When it comes to the pitch of your roof, you will want to decide on your roofing material ahead of time.

Trusses

Trusses provide support for the roof, keep your roof from falling down, and are installed after the framing. They will support a large amount of weight, and are a critical part of construction as they will need to support the full weight of the materials used during and after the construction process.

Sheathing

The sheathing is a plywood material that is fixed onto the framing and forms the base of the roof. In warmer climates such as here in San Antonio, sheathing is commonly made with aluminum on one side to help reduce heat on the roof.

Drip Edge

The drip edge is a piece of metal that hangs over the edge of the roof and is designed to further protect the sheathing from rain and water damage.

Underlayment

Then comes the underlayment which is simply a protective layer over the sheathing. Also known as felt paper or tar paper, roofing underlayment is another barrier of protection from the outside elements. Today, synthetic underlayment is typically used because it is considered more durable and less likely to deteriorate over time. Until about 15 to 20 years ago tar paper was commonly used, but this practice is less popular due to the longevity of synthetic underlayment.

Roofing Material

Then comes the actual roofing material. Depending on the climate, aesthetics, and the pitch of the roof, choosing the roofing material is usually the more exciting part of the roofing build for the owner.
