At Blue Spruce Roofing & Exteriors, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality service and clear communication throughout the roof installation. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect from start to finish.
Initial Consultation and Estimate
The first step in the roof installation is an initial consultation with our team.
- Site Visit: We will thoroughly inspect your current roof to assess its condition and discuss your needs.
- Material Selection: We’ll help you choose the best roofing materials based on your budget, style preferences, and local climate.
- Detailed Estimate: After the consultation, you will receive a detailed estimate outlining the scope of work, materials needed, and the expected timeline for completion.
Contract Signing
Once you’re ready to proceed, the next step is signing a contract.
- Contract Agreement: We will provide a comprehensive contract that includes all the agreed-upon details, such as costs, materials, warranties, and project timelines.
- Deposit Payment: A deposit may be required to secure your installation date and cover initial costs.
Pre-Installation Preparation
Before the actual installation begins, we’ll prepare your property and schedule the work.
- Permits and Approvals: We will handle any necessary permits and approvals required by local regulations.
- Preparation of the Job Site: Our team will prepare the site by ensuring a clean and safe environment, which includes covering landscaping and removing any obstacles that may interfere with the installation.
Old Roof Removal (If Necessary)
We’ll start with the removal process if you are replacing an existing roof.
- Tear-Off: Our experienced team will carefully remove the old roofing material, including shingles, underlayment, and flashing.
- Debris Management: We will provide a roll-off dumpster for debris disposal, ensuring your property remains tidy.
Roof Inspection
After removing the old roof, we’ll thoroughly inspect the roof installation services.
- Deck Evaluation: We will check the roof decking for signs of damage, rot, or mold and address any issues before proceeding.
- Repairs as Needed: The deck will be repaired as needed to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof.
Installation of Underlayment
Once the roof deck is ready, we’ll begin installing the underlayment.
- Water-Resistant Barrier: We will lay down a water-resistant underlayment to provide an additional layer of protection against moisture.
- Secure Installation: The underlayment will be securely fastened to ensure it stays in place during installation and for years to come.

Flashing and Final Touches
We’ll add the finishing touches after the primary roofing materials are in place.
