The Right Time for a New Roof Installation
A roof that has passed its service life will not protect your home, no matter how many repairs you apply. When shingles curl, granules fill your gutters, or water stains spread across your ceiling, patchwork stops making sense. A full new roof installation resolves these problems at the source and gives you decades of reliable performance.
At LCT Construction and Services Inc., we help homeowners decide when replacement is the correct choice. We inspect the deck, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation, not just the surface material. This complete view lets us give you an honest recommendation. In business since 2009, we have installed roofs across a wide range of home styles and structural conditions, and we bring that experience to every project.

How the Installation Process Works
A quality roof depends on more than good shingles. Each layer must be installed in the correct order with the correct materials. When you work with us, the process follows a clear and proven sequence that protects your investment from the deck up.
- Inspection and estimate: We assess the existing roof, measure the surface area, and identify any hidden damage. We provide free estimates for all customers so you know the scope before work begins.
- Tear-off and deck check: We remove old materials down to the deck, then inspect the wood for rot, soft spots, or fastener failure. Damaged decking is replaced before anything new goes down.
- Underlayment and flashing: We install ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, apply synthetic underlayment, and set new flashing at chimneys, valleys, and wall junctions.
- Shingle installation: Shingles are fastened in the manufacturer’s specified pattern with the correct nail count and placement for wind resistance.
- Ventilation and cleanup: We confirm proper intake and exhaust ventilation, then clear the site of all debris and nails.
Materials and Technical Standards
As a CertainTeed Premier Shingle Master, LCT Construction and Services Inc. meets the training and installation standards required to offer premium warranty coverage. This certification reflects a commitment to manufacturer specifications, not shortcuts. Correct nailing patterns, starter strip placement, and ridge cap installation all affect how long a roof lasts and how it performs under wind and rain.
Ventilation is a technical detail that many overlook. Without balanced intake and exhaust, heat and moisture build up in the attic, which shortens shingle life and can cause deck damage. We calculate the required ventilation based on attic square footage and adjust the design so your roof breathes correctly through all seasons.
Common Concerns and Clear Guidance
Many homeowners worry about the disruption a roof replacement brings. A typical residential installation is completed in a matter of days, and we protect your landscaping and siding throughout the work. We keep the job site organized and remove all waste when we finish.
Another frequent question is whether to add a layer over the existing roof or tear off first. We generally recommend a full tear-off because it lets us inspect the deck and start with a sound foundation. Reasons a new installation delivers lasting value include:
- Full deck inspection: Hidden rot is found and corrected instead of covered up.
- Better warranty coverage: Manufacturer warranties often require a clean deck and certified installation.
- Improved appearance: A fresh, even surface raises curb appeal and home value.
