Roofing Steps

From structure to a weatherproof shield

1

Vapor Barrier & Insulation

medium

Installation of vapor barrier film from the inside and laying insulation material between rafters (if the roof is insulated).

Duration
2-3 days

Requirements

  • Sealed vapor barrier
  • No gaps in insulation

Challenges

  • Avoiding thermal bridges
  • Work from scaffolding/inside
2

Membrane & Counter-battens

medium

Laying super-diffusion membrane on top of rafters and installing counter-battens to create a ventilation gap.

Duration
1-2 days

Requirements

  • Proper membrane overlap
  • Ventilation gap size

Challenges

  • Membrane integrity
  • Airflow circulation
3

Battens (Lathing)

medium

Installation of horizontal battens with spacing appropriate for the chosen roofing material.

Duration
2-3 days

Requirements

  • Step precision
  • Level plane

Challenges

  • Roof geometry correction
  • Secure fixing
4

Roofing Material Installation

high

Laying the final roof covering (Metal tiles, Ceramic tiles, Seam roofing, etc.) and installing ridge/valley elements.

Duration
3-7 days

Requirements

  • Manufacturer guidelines
  • Specialized tools

Challenges

  • Complex nodes (valleys, chimneys)
  • Aesthetics
5

Gutter System & Soffits

medium

Installation of gutters, downspouts, and filing the roof overhangs (soffits).

Duration
2-3 days

Professional tips for a perfect roof

Insulation is Investment
1

Insulation is Investment

Don't skimp on roof insulation. It accounts for 25-35% of heat loss. Extra R-value pays for itself in 3-5 years through energy savings.

Ventilation Matters
2

Ventilation Matters

Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup and extends roof life by 50%. Ridge vents plus soffit vents create optimal airflow.

Inspect Before Final Cover
3

Inspect Before Final Cover

Check all underlayment and flashing before installing final roofing. Issues are 10x harder to fix after the roof is complete.

Weather Window Planning
4

Weather Window Planning

Roofing needs 3-5 consecutive dry days. Monitor weather closely and have tarps ready. A rushed job in bad weather causes future leaks.

Material Quality Pays
5

Material Quality Pays

Premium roofing materials last 2-3x longer than budget options. Calculate cost per year of service, not just upfront price.

Why a Quality Roof Matters

Top-down protection

Weather Resistance

Weather Resistance

Withstands rain, snow, and wind.

Energy Savings

Energy Savings

Reduces heat loss through the roof.

Curb Appeal
