Once the contract requirements are met, the roofing project can begin.
Prior to starting, the homeowner and a McKinnis Superintendent will review the customer checklist. The homeowner is then given ample time to move any items inside (Pictures, plates, etc. that may fall off walls) and outside breakables around the perimeter
Homeowner is notified and all materials are delivered. Typically a roofing supplier, delivery truck with a conveyor, will place most of the materials on the roof with the lighter accessories on the ground
Shortly thereafter the homeowner is notified of the actual day the roofing crew will arrive. Owner will move any vehicles to the street for availability during the roofing process.
Roofing crew will arrive on the scheduled day, if the weather permits. The owner will be notified if the weather prevents beginning the project and it will be rescheduled for the next day. A pickup truck will arrive with a portable dump trailer on wheels. This is placed as close to the home as possible and filled with the old roofing debris. This lightweight trailer is on site only during the re-roofing procedure.
Remaining landscaping and immovable items are then protected with tarps or plywood.
The roofing crew, after assembling their safety equipment, will begin to strip the old roofing from the home and place it in the dump trailer for disposal. Because of numerous workers on each project, most re-roofs are completed in a day.
Underlayment, flashing, ice guard and vents are installed according to the contract. Shingles are then installed to manufacturer's specifications. Compliance with all city code and permit requirements are met.
Once completed, the site is completely cleaned and a roller magnet is run through yard to pick up any nails.
Upon payment, the homeowner will receive all warranties and a lien waiver.
