New Construction Roofing in Montrose, Colorado

The new homes in Montrose need roofs built for the high desert climate. The light-colored shingles and the standing-seam metal handle the heat and the sun. New construction roofing in Montrose works with the builders and the homeowners to get the roof right from the start.

What Montrose New Construction Roofing Includes

• The roof deck — the plywood or the OSB sheathing fastened to the rafters
• The underlayment — the synthetic felt or the ice-and-water shield at the eaves
• The flashing — the drip edge, the step flashing, the pipe boots, and the valley flashing
• The roofing material — the architectural shingles or the heat-reflective metal
• The ventilation — the ridge vent and the soffit vents for the balanced airflow
• The gutters — the seamless gutters and the downspouts

Why Montrose New Construction Needs the Right Roof

The high desert heat is the main factor. The roof needs to handle the sun and the UV, and the light-colored architectural shingles are the standard. The metal is growing for the heat reflection.

The winter rain is the second factor. The underlayment and the flashing need to be right to keep the water out.
