New Construction Roofing

New construction roofing is a specialized field that requires precision, coordination, and a deep understanding of building science. Unlike a replacement on an existing home, a new construction roof is built from the ground up, starting with bare trusses. This provides a unique opportunity to build a perfectly integrated and high performance roofing system from the very beginning. The process starts with installing the roof deck, which is the wood sheathing that creates the solid surface of the roof. This foundation must be installed correctly to provide a smooth, stable base for all subsequent layers.

Once the deck is in place, the layers of protection are added. This begins with the installation of a high quality underlayment, which serves as a secondary water barrier. All flashing, drip edges, and ventilation components are then meticulously installed. These elements are critical for preventing leaks at the most vulnerable points of the roof, such as valleys, eaves, and around any penetrations. The choice and proper installation of these components are just as important as the final roofing material itself. Our team at Clermont Roofing Inc. excels in this detailed, foundational work.

We work in close partnership with general contractors and home builders throughout the construction process. We understand the importance of adhering to tight construction schedules and coordinating with other trades on the job site. Our project managers ensure clear communication and a seamless workflow. We can read blueprints, provide accurate material takeoffs, and execute the roofing plan with precision. Our goal is to be a reliable and professional partner that helps keep your overall project on track and on budget. We are committed to a safe and efficient work site.

The choice of roofing material for a new home is a major decision that affects its style, durability, and value. We offer a wide range of options to suit any architectural design and budget. We can install durable and cost effective asphalt shingle roofs, long lasting and energy efficient metal roofs, or elegant and timeless tile roofs. We source our materials from the best manufacturers in the industry, ensuring that your new home is protected by a product with a strong warranty and a proven track record of performance. We help you select the perfect roof to complement your new build.

Proper ventilation is a key aspect of new construction roofing that we emphasize on every project. Building a balanced ventilation system from the start is the best way to ensure a healthy and energy efficient home. A well ventilated roof prevents heat buildup in the attic during Florida’s hot summers, which reduces cooling costs. It also prevents moisture condensation in the winter, protecting the roof structure from rot and mold. We design and install systems with a proper balance of intake and exhaust vents to promote optimal airflow.

The quality of a new construction roof has a lasting impact on the home for decades to come. A roof that is built correctly from the start will require less maintenance and will be free from the common problems that plague poorly installed roofs. As a family business with a reputation for quality since 1990, Clermont Roofing Inc. takes immense pride in our work. Patrick and Walker Scott personally oversee our new construction projects to ensure our high standards are met. We build every roof as if we were building it for our own family.

When you partner with us for your new construction project, you are choosing a team dedicated to excellence. We are fully licensed and insured, and we adhere to all local building codes and OSHA safety regulations. Our experienced crew of professional roofers is committed to delivering a finished product that is both beautiful and built to last. We provide a superior roof that adds significant value and security to your new property. Trust Clermont Roofing Inc. to be the expert roofing contractor for your next building project.

We hired Clemont roofing from Oviedo to reroof our house. Joe Buck was the salesman. We figured once the contract was signed, last we would see of him. Best contract we ever signed. Joe was here every single day. We had excellent communication from the office on when they would start. Joe was here every day to tell workers where to park, guide the delivery. The workers are amazing. Worked 12 hours a day 5 days straight to strip the old off. Install the new. At completion, they walked the yard with magnets and metal detectors for debris ( nails ). Can't say in writing how great this company treated us. If anyone has apprehensive thoughts, all I can say is we had 5 star service. Hire them !

Most Common New Construction Roofing Questions

Building a new home involves countless decisions, and the roofing system is one of the most critical. Understanding the process and options is key for builders and homeowners alike. Here are our answers to the most common questions about new construction roofing.

The process of roofing a new home is a multi stage operation that integrates with the overall construction schedule. It begins after the home’s structural frame and trusses have been erected. The first roofing stage is the installation of the roof decking, also known as sheathing. This is typically plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board) that is nailed to the top of the rafters, creating the solid surface of the roof. This stage provides a walkable surface for other trades and begins to protect the interior from the elements.

The next major stage is the “drying in” or “weatherproofing” of the roof. This involves installing the underlayment, which is a layer of water resistant material applied directly to the decking. A high quality synthetic underlayment is often used for its durability. During this stage, we also install the drip edge along all the eaves to direct water into the gutters. This makes the structure watertight, allowing interior work like plumbing, electrical, and drywall to begin without risk of water damage.

The final stage is the installation of the primary roofing material. This happens later in the construction process, often after the siding and windows are installed, to prevent damage to the new roof from other construction activities. This stage includes installing all flashing, vents, and finally, the shingles, tiles, or metal panels. Once the primary roofing is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure every detail is perfect. This staged approach ensures a high quality, integrated roofing system.

Effective coordination with the general contractor (GC) is the cornerstone of a successful new construction roofing project. At Clermont Roofing Inc., we view ourselves as a key partner to the GC. The process begins during the bidding phase, where we provide a detailed and accurate proposal based on the architectural blueprints. Once selected, we establish a clear line of communication with the project manager. We review the construction schedule to understand the key deadlines and milestones for the roofing phases.

Our project manager works in lockstep with the GC’s site superintendent. We coordinate the delivery of our materials to the job site at the appropriate time to avoid clutter and interference with other trades. We schedule our crews to be on site for the decking, drying in, and final roofing stages in alignment with the overall project timeline. This prevents delays and ensures a smooth workflow. For example, we ensure the roof is dried in before the interior trades begin their work.

Flexibility and communication are crucial. Construction schedules can and do change due to weather or other unforeseen issues. We maintain constant contact with the GC to adapt to any schedule adjustments. We also coordinate with other trades, such as the framers before we deck and the HVAC and plumbing contractors to ensure all roof penetrations for pipes and vents are planned for and properly flashed. This collaborative approach, managed by our experienced team, ensures the roofing portion of the project is a success.

Choosing the best roof for a new build in Florida requires balancing durability, energy efficiency, style, and budget. Given the state’s intense sun, high humidity, and risk of hurricanes, certain materials perform better than others. Metal roofing is an outstanding choice for new construction in Florida. It offers exceptional longevity, often lasting 50 years or more, and superior resistance to high winds. Metal roofs are also highly energy efficient, as they reflect solar heat, which can significantly lower cooling costs. They come in a variety of styles and colors to match any architectural design.

Tile roofing, made of either concrete or clay, is another excellent and traditional option for Florida homes. Tile is extremely durable, fireproof, and resistant to rot and insects. Like metal, it has excellent thermal properties that help to keep the home cool. A tile roof can easily last for the life of the home, making it a permanent solution. The aesthetic of a tile roof is highly desirable and can significantly enhance the value of a new property. The primary consideration for tile is ensuring the home’s structure is engineered to support its heavy weight.

Modern asphalt shingles are also a very popular and viable option for new construction. They are the most cost effective choice upfront and are available in a wide array of styles and colors, including “cool roof” options with solar reflecting granules. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than older types, and they come with high wind ratings suitable for Florida’s climate. A professionally installed, high quality asphalt shingle roof can provide 25 to 30 years of reliable protection, offering a great balance of performance and value for a new home.

Proper ventilation is a critical element of a healthy and energy efficient roofing system, and new construction offers the perfect opportunity to design it correctly from the start. A balanced ventilation system works by creating a continuous flow of air through the attic space. This is achieved by having an equal amount of intake ventilation, which allows cool, fresh air to enter the attic, and exhaust ventilation, which allows hot, moist air to escape. This airflow prevents a host of problems.

Intake vents are typically installed in the soffits, which are the undersides of the roof eaves. These vents allow outside air to be drawn into the lowest part of the attic. Exhaust vents are installed at or near the highest point of the roof, the ridge. The most effective type of exhaust vent is a ridge vent, which runs continuously along the peak of the roof. As hot air naturally rises in the attic, it escapes through the ridge vent, and this process pulls more cool air in through the soffit vents, creating a natural convection current.

During the new construction process, we work with the builder to ensure the framing allows for adequate soffit ventilation. We then install the appropriate vents and baffles to ensure the airflow is not blocked by insulation. We calculate the precise amount of ventilation needed based on the attic’s square footage to meet building codes and ensure optimal performance. By designing and installing a balanced ventilation system from the outset, we help create a home that is more comfortable, has lower energy bills, and has a roof structure that is protected from moisture damage.

Adhering to local and state building codes is a non negotiable aspect of all our new construction roofing projects. The Florida Building Code has some of the most stringent roofing requirements in the country, specifically designed to protect homes from hurricane force winds and heavy rains. Our entire team, from our project managers to our installers, is thoroughly trained on these codes. We stay current with any updates or changes to the regulations to ensure every roof we build is fully compliant.

The process of ensuring compliance begins with the project plan. We review the architectural specifications to ensure they meet or exceed code requirements for materials, fasteners, and installation methods. For example, the code dictates specific nailing patterns for shingles and sheathing, especially in high wind zones, to prevent uplift during a storm. It also has strict requirements for the type and installation of underlayment and flashing to ensure superior water resistance. We follow these requirements to the letter.

Furthermore, all new construction projects are subject to inspections by local building officials. We coordinate with the general contractor to schedule these mandatory inspections at the appropriate stages of the roofing process. An inspector will verify our work, including the deck nailing, underlayment application, and final installation, to confirm that it meets all code requirements. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means that our roofs consistently pass these inspections without issue. This provides the builder and the future homeowner with documented proof that the roof was built correctly and safely.

A new construction roof installed by Clermont Roofing Inc. comes with a comprehensive warranty package that provides multiple layers of protection. The first layer is the manufacturer’s warranty on the roofing materials. This warranty covers any defects in the products themselves, such as shingles that fail prematurely. The length and terms of this warranty depend on the material selected, ranging from 20 to 30 years for standard asphalt shingles to 50 years or even a lifetime for high end metal or tile systems. We use materials from reputable manufacturers to ensure you receive a strong and reliable warranty.

The second, and arguably most important, layer of protection is our own workmanship warranty. This warranty is provided directly by Clermont Roofing Inc. and covers the quality of our installation. It protects you against any issues that may arise due to an error in our work, such as a leak caused by improperly installed flashing. We have the utmost confidence in the skill of our crews and the quality of our installations, and we stand behind our work. This commitment to quality has been a cornerstone of our family business since 1990.

When you work with us, we will provide you with all the official documentation for both the manufacturer’s warranty and our workmanship warranty. We will explain the terms of each so you have a clear understanding of your coverage. This dual warranty system provides the builder and the ultimate homeowner with complete peace of mind. It is an assurance that the new roof is a quality investment, protected against both material defects and installation errors for many years to come.

Yes, absolutely. We have extensive experience working with custom home builders on projects with unique and complex architectural designs. We understand that a custom home requires a higher level of attention to detail and a roofer who can execute a specialized vision. Our team is skilled at reading and interpreting custom blueprints and working with unconventional rooflines, steep pitches, turrets, and multiple interconnected gables and valleys. We thrive on the challenge and precision that custom home projects demand.

Our process for custom homes involves close collaboration with both the builder and the architect from the early stages. We can provide expert consultation on the best materials and installation techniques to achieve the desired aesthetic while ensuring maximum durability and weather protection. Whether the design calls for a complex standing seam metal roof, a pattern of mixed color slate tiles, or a specific style of architectural shingle, we have the expertise to bring the vision to life. We can source specialty materials and have the craftsmanship to install them correctly.

We understand that the roof is a defining feature of a custom home’s character. Our meticulous workmanship ensures that every line is clean, every seam is perfect, and the finished product is a beautiful complement to the home’s unique design. We take the time to get the details right, from custom fabricated flashing to the precise layout of the roofing material. When custom home builders partner with Clermont Roofing Inc., they can be confident they are working with a team that shares their commitment to exceptional quality and superior results.

Safety is our top priority on every new construction job site. These sites are dynamic environments with multiple trades working simultaneously, and we implement a strict safety program to protect our crew, other workers, and the property. All of our roofing technicians are trained in OSHA safety standards and are required to use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times. This includes hard hats, safety glasses, and proper footwear. For steep or high roofs, we use full fall protection systems, including harnesses, ropes, and anchors, in compliance with all safety regulations.

We begin each project with a site specific safety assessment to identify any potential hazards. We establish clear work zones and ensure our materials and equipment are staged in a safe and organized manner. We conduct regular safety meetings with our crew to reinforce best practices and address any new conditions on the site. Our project managers are responsible for overseeing and enforcing these safety protocols throughout the duration of the project. We believe that a safe job site is an efficient and productive job site.

We also coordinate with the general contractor to ensure our safety plan aligns with the overall site safety program. We communicate with other trades to be aware of their activities and to make them aware of ours, especially when working overhead. This culture of safety is deeply ingrained in our company, from our owners, Patrick and Walker Scott, down to every member of our team. Our excellent safety record is a testament to our commitment to ensuring that everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.
