Installation Process

1. Remove Old Roof & Inspect Deck
Begin by stripping away the old roofing material to reveal the roof deck. Inspect the deck for damage and make any necessary repairs before proceeding with the installation.

2. Install High Temp Self Adhered Underlayment
The underlayment is applied over the existing roof deck. This layer provides additional protection against moisture and helps prevent leaks.

3. Attach Starter Strips
Place starter strips along the eaves and edges to ensure the first row of metal panels is securely fastened and properly aligned.

4. Install Metal Panels
Install metal panels starting from the eaves and working upwards, overlapping each panel for effective water runoff. Fasteners may be exposed or concealed depending on the panel type for a streamlined look.

5. Install Flashing & Trim
Metal flashing is installed around roof penetrations such as chimneys, vents, and skylights to prevent water leaks. Trim pieces are added to corners and ridges for a clean, finished look.

6. Final Inspection
Once the metal roof is installed, a thorough inspection is performed to check for proper alignment, fastener security, and overall quality.
