Your Top Questions About New Roofs in Chelsea, Answered

When planning a new construction, the roofing stage can seem complex. Here are answers to the most common questions we hear from homeowners in the Chelsea area.

“What materials will both protect my new home and fit Chelsea’s character?”

This is a crucial consideration, especially in a town with such rich architectural history. We guide you to the perfect fit:

• For Classic & Timeless Appeal: High-performance architectural shingles are the standard for a reason. They offer decades of durability and come in a vast range of colors and textures to complement any design, from a classic colonial to a modern ranch.
• For Historic Charm: If you’re building a home to blend with the Victorian character of downtown Chelsea, we often specify luxury and designer shingles. These products beautifully replicate the look of natural slate or cedar shake, providing historic charm with modern performance.
• For a Bold, Modern Statement: Standing seam metal roofing offers unmatched longevity and a clean, contemporary aesthetic that works exceptionally well for modern farmhouses or custom-designed homes.

“How is a new roof actually built? What should I expect?”

A new roof installation is a multi-layered, systematic process. Think of it as your roof’s “build journey”:

1. The Foundation – Decking: Once the home is framed, our first step is to install the structural wood sheeting (the deck), creating a solid, smooth foundation for the entire system.
2. The Weatherproof Barrier – Underlayments: Next, we apply two critical layers of protection. First, a self-sealing ice and water shield is installed at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations to defend against Michigan’s harsh winters. Then, a high-performance synthetic underlayment covers the entire deck for a secondary line of defense.
3. The Armor & Aesthetics – Shingles: Our certified crews then meticulously install your chosen shingles, ensuring every course is straight, properly nailed, and integrated with all flashing systems for a completely watertight surface.
4. The Breathing Apparatus – Ventilation: As part of the installation, a balanced roof ventilation system, typically a ridge vent, is installed to allow your attic to breathe, which is essential for energy efficiency and preventing moisture buildup.

“What kind of protection or warranty comes with a brand-new roof?”

A new roof installation offers the most comprehensive protection available. You receive a powerful, dual-layer guarantee. First, because we are certified installers using a complete system from a single manufacturer, you are eligible for the best manufacturer warranties, such as the GAF System Plus Warranty. These cover all components of your roofing system. Second, you receive our own workmanship warranty, which is our personal guarantee on the quality of our installation. Learn more about the components of a complete roofing system from authoritative sources like the GAF Roofing System guide.
