Quality roofing starts with quality installation. Capital City Roofing's certified crews follow manufacturer-specified methods at every step—ensuring your warranty coverage and long-term performance.
Before work begins, our team conducts a final site assessment as part of our comprehensive 27-point full home inspection — evaluating your roof, gutters, siding, fascia, soffit, attic, foundation, and driveway. We position dumpsters strategically to minimize lawn damage, lay protective tarps over landscaping and entry points, and review the project plan with you. Our project manager walks you through what to expect and answers any last-minute questions.
We perform a complete tear-off down to the roof deck—removing all old shingles, underlayment, drip edge, and flashing. This allows us to inspect the deck for damage and ensures a clean, solid foundation for your new roof. Partial tear-offs or "layovers" void manufacturer warranties and hide potential problems.
With the old roof removed, we thoroughly inspect every square foot of decking. Any damaged, rotten, or sagging plywood is replaced with new 7/16" or 1/2" OSB or plywood. Proper deck integrity is critical—it's the foundation your entire roofing system relies on.
We install metal drip edge along all eaves and rakes to direct water away from fascia boards. Ice-and-water shield (a self-sealing waterproof membrane) is applied to all valleys, eaves, rakes, and around penetrations like chimneys and skylights—critical areas where leaks commonly occur.
We install premium synthetic underlayment across the entire roof deck. Synthetic underlayment is far superior to traditional felt paper—it's stronger, more tear-resistant, and provides better waterproofing. This layer is your roof's secondary water barrier.
Shingles are installed following manufacturer-specified nailing patterns and exposure rates. We use 4-6 nails per shingle (depending on roof pitch and wind zone) and ensure proper alignment and overlap. Starter shingles are installed along eaves and rakes to prevent wind uplift.
Proper ventilation is critical for roof longevity and energy efficiency. We install ridge vents along the peak of your roof to allow hot air to escape from the attic. All flashing around chimneys, skylights, and wall intersections is replaced with new, properly sealed flashing.
We run magnetic nail sweeps across your entire property multiple times to collect metal debris. All tarps are removed, landscaping is checked, and the dumpster is hauled away. Our project manager conducts a final inspection with you, reviews warranty documentation, and answers any questions.
