New Roof
Installation in McAllen, TX

When should a roofer be brought into a new build?

At framing, not at dry-in. Pitch, overhang, valley geometry and where the vents will sit are all far cheaper to settle on paper than on a deck that is already sheathed. We walk the plans with the builder, flag anything that complicates the water path — a dead valley behind a chimney chase, a wall that dies into a slope with nowhere for a kickout to go — and confirm the ventilation math before material is ordered.

How does an addition tie into the existing roofline?

The junction is where additions leak, so it is planned first. We match the existing profile and colour as closely as the product line allows, cut the tie-in back far enough to lap new underlayment beneath the old, and set a proper step-flashing sequence at every wall. Where the original shingle has been discontinued we show you the nearest match in daylight before ordering, not after it is on the roof.

Shingle or standing-seam metal on a new home?

Both perform here. Architectural shingle is the value choice and suits most subdivision rooflines. Standing-seam metal costs more up front, carries a longer service life, sheds heavy Valley rain quickly and reflects heat well — it earns the premium on low-slope sections, on long uninterrupted runs, and for owners who intend to stay in the house. We quote both so the comparison rests on real numbers for your roof rather than a rule of thumb.

Who pulls the permit and books the inspection?

We do, and we schedule around the builder’s other trades so a finished dry-in is not left exposed waiting on an inspection slot. Permit requirements and submittals for local work are published by the City of McAllen. Material is staged to the deck the morning it is needed rather than dropped in the drive a week early, which keeps bundles out of the weather and off ground that is about to be landscaped.

What is registered with the manufacturer at handover?

Every system we install is registered in the homeowner’s name, and you receive the certificate together with the photo record of underlayment, flashing and ridge taken before any of it was covered. That record is what makes a product claim straightforward years later, and it transfers with the house at resale.

How far ahead do you schedule installations?

Lead time moves with the season, and the weeks after a named storm are the busiest of the year. Bring us the plans early and we will hold a slot against the framing schedule. Putting a roof on an existing home instead? roof replacement covers full tear-offs, and isolated damage on a roof that is otherwise sound belongs on roof repair. We install new roofs across McAllen, Brownsville and Edinburg.
