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.

We had Presidio custom build a chimney cap for our 100+ year old home. They also found and repaired extensive damage to the chimney mortar and quoted us for gutter installation. At every turn, the guys from Presidio were kind and professional and did great work. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great roofing company in San Antonio. 5 stars!

Had to unexpectedly get my roof replaced…Jacob was quick to respond/answer my questions. He made sure I understood the process and worked within my timeline which I greatly appreciated!

I’ve used Presidio many times over the past 4 yrs. I dealt directly with Jacob and his team. They’ve fixed roofing, gutters, new window frames and siding along with painting. I first talked with Jacob 4 yrs ago. He was extremely helpful after hail damaged our roof and gutters. He was always available and we found him very honest and willing to work with us and our insurance carrier. He gave us nonsense quotes and was available for all my wife’s questions! When we agreed on price and materials, Jacob and his team came when they said they would and conducted themselves admirably. The job was done on time and cleanup made it look like they were never there! At the time of our roof install, his team discovered other issues that needed to addressed on our home. Again, I got honest quotes and workers that showed up and did highly professional work. I’ve referred Presidio to any of my friends needing roof repairs and home improvements. I endorse them highly!!!

Jacob Lehman was absolutely great! My husband and I wanted to put an offer in a house and our realtor recommended him to check the roof. He was out there really quick and gave some good feedback. After moving into this new house, we wanted to get gutters installed. Jacob was really responsive and attentive to detail making sure we knew what to expect and help us make our choice on color. He also added installation of leaf guards to the contract, which we knew would be so helpful for maintenance! Overall I am really happy with his work and we will keep in touch for any future work we might need.

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.
