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.
Presidio Roofing was recommended to me by my insurance company and base on that I hired them to replace the roof of my house. They did an excellent job and left the yard absolutely clean! The roof inspector, Jonathan Whitaker, organized the whole project and he got the job completed in one day! He is absolutely a skilled professional.Thank you! Nothing but great things to say about the team at Presidio Roofing. We had a roof leak around our vent hood and they pinpointed the underlying issue and resolved relatively promptly. Great experience with Jonathan and Presidio Roofing. I had a roof that wasn't an insurance claim, just a very old, flat roof needing replacement, and Presidio had good reviews suggesting they had expertise with different types of roofs, including TPO, which I got. Sure enough, they were professional the whole way through; I got exactly the kind of roof I was looking for; and everyone I dealt with made the process as pleasant as possible. Their estimate and warranty were clear and more comprehensive and cost-effective than other estimates I got. Jonathan and the company acted with a lot of integrity throughout, so I felt I could trust them to honor the agreement.They even offer complementary maintenance inspections after the fact, which is a nice plus. Unfortunately my roof had a lot of hidden damage and took about 2x longer and more materials than expected. It's stressful to deal with such an expensive project, but less so when you feel they're not price-gouging, but trying to honor the original estimate--in fact I think they ate some of the costs to stay closer to the estimate. The work was done well and with good attention to detail and they barely disturbed the house or area at all. Jonathan was flexible with meeting times and was on time, personable, and easy to talk to about questions or concerns. He has a lot of experience and made great suggestions. He was also transparent about the process and great at knowing exactly what would work or not work and remembering every question or request I had about the roof. He spent a lot of his own time examining the old roof beforehand and I felt like he did an outstanding job communicating with the crew, the company, and myself. I highly recommend Presidio and Jonathan as professionals that take your job seriously, will stand by their work, and provide superior customer service. I hope to use them again for the gutter installation. Presidio Roofing did my roof which was damaged after a storm. The process was super easy, well explained and fast. Everyone I came in contact with was very friendly and knowledgable. The actual crew that came to put on the roof was very mindful of my property and cleaned up after themselves. They sent me pictures of the progress and by the time I came home all was done and cleaned up. The roof looks great! I am very happy with the whole experience and highly recommend Presidio Roofing! When we replaced our roof, there were tons of roofing companies to choose from. I researched & chose Presidio Roofing because when I mentioned their name to my insurance company they acknowledged that they were a legit & very professional company, plus easy to work with. The work was done very quick & clean. They even showed me an area of plywood which needed to be changed in order for roof to be properly installed. Fast forward a couple of years & I had a minor issue & was put in touch with Presidio and they were very understanding & resolved my issue within hours. I can't say enough good things about Presidio Roofing. I recommend them to all my family & friends. Thanks for everything. Presidio Roofing came highly recommended from many of my friends and they were absolutely right. The Presidio team told me exactly what I needed and what I did not need. Their crew was fast and efficient. We consulted on the color and it is beautiful. In particular, since the home is older, we had some ugly air vents on the old roof that stood out for all the wrong reasons. Presidio installed modern vents that you do not even notice and are more efficient. From the inspection, to the estimate, to the drop off of materials, to the replacement, to the clean-up, to all the follow-up, Presidio Roofing is a total class company and they will make you house beautiful - and increase it’s value!!

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.
