Our Approach

Roof Installation Process

When gathering estimates from roofing contractors in Maryland, understanding their installation process is crucial. While you might assume that all contractors follow the same procedure, some take shortcuts. Here’s our meticulous approach:

Material Delivery

We ensure that roofing materials are delivered a day or two before the installation, unlike some contractors who deliver on the same day. This buffer allows us to verify that all materials are correct, avoiding any last-minute issues on the installation day.

Roof Tear Off

Our crew arrives early to start removing the existing roof down to the decking/plywood. It’s vital to reach the plywood because some contractors cut costs by reusing existing underlayment, which may not be durable and doesn't allow for the replacement of rotted wood. Maryland building code mandates the replacement of any rotted wood, ensuring no hidden issues remain after the new roof is installed.

Roof Dry-in

After the tear-off and ensuring the wood is in good condition, we install the roofing system components beneath the shingles. This includes applying the ice and water barrier along the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the rest of the roof, drip edge, and replacing roofing accessories like pipe collars, vents, and flashing.

Shingle Install

Once the roof is "dried in," we begin the shingle installation. We start with a starter shingle at the bottom of the slope, adding support and protection against wind lift—a step some contractors skip to save money. With the starter strip in place, we proceed to lay the shingles and complete the roof installation.

Jobsite Clean Up

Roof installation can be messy, with debris coming off and onto your roof. Don’t worry; we have a dumpster onsite all day and conduct periodic cleanups. After the installation, we ensure a thorough cleanup, picking up all debris from your yard and garden. We use magnetic rakes to collect nails and air blowers to clean off the roof and gutters.

Roof Installations Are Not Something You Want to Buy, But Essential When the Time Comes.

Investing in a new roof is a big commitment, but it offers many benefits. A new roof provides better protection, improves energy efficiency, and can boost property value and curb appeal. By choosing Matter Roofing & Construction, you get a high-quality, cost-effective solution that brings peace of mind and long-term value to your home.

Increased Home Value

Replacing your roof is a significant investment that can substantially boost your home's value. Whether you plan to sell, refinance, or stay indefinitely, a new roof is a wise decision.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

A fresh roof with vibrant colors can transform your home's appearance. If you're selling, a new roof can attract more potential buyers with greater confidence.

Resolve Hidden Issues

Roof replacement involves stripping down to the plywood, revealing and addressing any hidden issues. This ensures your new roof is worry-free and long-lasting.

Increased Durability

If your roof is outdated, a replacement will upgrade it to meet current building codes. You’re not just replacing shingles; you're investing in a stronger, more durable roof.
