When you're building new in Hitchins, the roof is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It protects everything underneath it for the next 30-50 years. Hitchins Roofing & Maintenance helps you choose the right material, designs proper ventilation, and installs it to manufacturer specifications.
Material options include architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, corrugated metal, and flat membrane systems. Each has different pros, cons, and price points. We help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, the pitch of your roof, and the climate demands of KY.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Project Planning
We review your building plans, discuss material options, and calculate ventilation requirements. Roof pitch, attic space, local code amendments, and your aesthetic preferences all factor into the recommendation.
Preparation
We coordinate delivery timing with your GC so materials don't sit exposed longer than necessary. Our staging crew organizes everything on the roof deck for efficient installation the next morning.
Professional Installation
Installation follows IRC building code and manufacturer requirements. Proper overlap, correct fastener patterns, sealed penetrations, and balanced ventilation. Our crews are factory-trained and know the installation manuals by heart.
Final Inspection
After installation: quality inspection, building department sign-off, manufacturer warranty registration, and cleanup. Your new roof is warranted from the day it passes inspection.
