Our Metal Roofing Preparation Process 

Installing a new roof is a huge project, but we want to ensure it causes minimal disruption to your everyday life. Before we start installing your new metal roof, there are a few ways we help homeowners prepare for this project. 

1
 Remove vehicles from driveway and garage

We encourage homeowners to take their vehicles out of the garage and driveway before we get started. We will need driveway space while we work on your new roof so it’s best to get these out of the way first.

2
 Protect your
garage

It’s best to place a tarp over your garage to avoid any dust or dirt from entering this space. This will also help to protect your items inside your garage from getting damaged. 

3
 Secure
windows

During the roof installation process, some materials could potentially fall from the roof. It’s best to protect your windows by placing barriers like wooden boards over your windows to ensure they don’t get damaged.

4
 Remove any
obstructions

We ask homeowners to clear any patio furniture or other obstructions around the house before we begin the metal roof installation process. This benefits both parties as our team can work comfortably around your home and it protects your items from being damaged.

Step-by-Step Metal Roof Installation Process

Now when the preparation stage is done, we are ready to install a new metal roof. There are several steps required to achieve the best metal roof installation. 

Here are our steps below:

Step 1: Order the correct size in panels

We cut metal roofing panels to fit the length of your roof so you can avoid any unnecessary seams. A large lift will be needed to transfer the panels onto the roof.

Step 2: Cut and bend trim ends & fasten eave trim

We cut and bend the leading end of the trim using aviation snips so it wraps around neatly around the corner. With a hand seamer, we then fold in the tabs to meet a wall or a corner or to close a gap created by the trim.  We make sure to install the eave trim to the fascia. Then, we fasten it to the roof deck with high-quality roofing nails.

Step 3: Splice and overlap trims

We splice the trims where the two trim ends meet. We cut the bottom of the underlapping trim and install it. Once it’s installed, then the sealant is applied on top. The bottom hem of the overlapping trim is pried open and slid over the angle-cut hem of the underlapping trim.

Step 4: Use a square reference line

A square reference line is used to install our metal roofing panels efficiently by creating a reference line 90 degrees to the eave. 

Step 5: Set panels & fasten them with screws

 Each panel is placed on an inside foam closure strip. These strips are uniquely shaped to fit the corrugated underside of the panel and keeps any pests and water at bay. Then, we fasten the panels with screws to ensure a watertight seal on your roof.

Step 6: Overlap panels & cover the rake edge

We overlap the lab rib on each panel so they fit perfectly together. Then, we attach the gable trim which cleans up the edge of the panel and ensures that any rain or snow doesn’t get under the roof panels and siding.

Step 7: Secure with metal panels

In the final step, we place high-quality metal panels on top of the wood panels for your new roof.
