Planning Your Roofing Project

In recent times, research has shown that in developing countries such as Nigeria, homeowners choose to develop their property in phases due to huge financial involvement in building projects. This issue makes the planning and costs analysis of the building project very important factor that must be put into consideration.

In this write-up, I will show you the proven way to plan and execute your roofing project so as to save money and time.

Develop your roof plan/design

Get a reliable design expert such as an architect to assist with the roof plan and design that will project the beauty of your home. Your home deserves to be the safe haven with clearly cut-out roof design.

Roof wood choice and carpenter selection

Choose a good log of wood for your truss and carpenter that will assist with measurement and installation.Seek professional carpenter that will deliver a quality job. A poor truss installation will affect the positioning of your roof and a bad wood will amount to replacement in a short while due to termite infection

Use reliable, experienced roofing contractors

Roofing contractors are skilled individuals, with a critical role in the success of your project, both aesthetically and in terms of performance.

Working in partnership with the main contractor, a good roofing contractor knows the products, their limitations and how they interface with others.

An inexperienced contractor can cause a failure that may not be detected until later. Make sure you choose an accredited roofing contractor who knows how the entire roof works, and who will integrate the system with the rest of your building so it performs well and looks great too.

At this stage, the roofing contractor will do the roof measurement, cost estimate and provide a no-obligation quote for your review.Once you have reviewed and approved the quote, it’s time to the following;

Select Colour, Material Type, and Style

Colour of your material should be a blend of what you choose to paint your house.You may decide to use stone coated roofing tiles or aluminium roofing sheets. Your roofing style could be steptile longspan or metcoppo. You can learn about types of roofing sheets in Nigeria here

Payment, Production, and Shipment

After the cost, style, and materials type have been known, insist on signing a contractual agreement to detail all your conversation to avoid you being swindled by unscrupulous roofers. Ensure to establish your warranty and after-sales installation service. Make the payment on an agreed term , watch the production of your materials and follow up with the project manager for material shipment to site.

Installation

The quality of the product is only ever as good as the contractor who installs it on your roof. How do you know that your roofing contractor does good quality work? Typically if a roofing system fails, it is the product that is blamed at first, but poor installation is much more likely to be the cause.Ensure the project monitors the installation and provide quality field support on site for your project.

6 Pointers Your Roofing Sheets Will Not Last

You have paid a roofer to install your aluminium roofing sheets or stone coated tiles materials. It had been completed and finally, you can rest! But alas, water started dripping from the roof on your head while in your bedroom. It was indeed a moment of truth!!! In this post, I will teach you what makes a good roof.

This has been the experience of most homeowners. Some discovered the roof leakage early and took corrective action while some had to replace the roof completely due to inability to rectify the issue.

Here are the 6 most common factors to be on the lookout for during and after the installation of your roof:

Poor Gauge

The roofing market has been flooded with low-gauge materials. Most homeowners fall victim of this inferior materials. Most times, homeowners choose poor materials for their project because they were offered a cheaper price. Select your materials with quality in mind, otherwise, you may have to pay more for roof repair.

Faulty Installation

A faulty installation of your roofing materials can predispose your roof to problems within a short time. You need to hire a professional to handle your roofing project and you can have the assurance your roof has been installed correctly.

Improperly Installed Flashing

Flashings are flat sheets cut out and bent into a dimension such as your ridge cap, gutter trimmer etc. to seal your roof to prevent passage of water.When flashing is poorly attached or reduced below the industry standard, it can cause open seams, laps and ultimately cause your aluminium roofing or stone coated tiles to blow-off especially in a wind prone environment. You need a professional to achieve this.

Water Logging

Water that stands on your roof is a sure sign of a problem. This can happen in case of dirt build up and/or improper drainage of gutters. Ensure to check out for this and remove all build up promptly. You could also employ service of a professional to help you solve this

Punctures

You need to ensure your roofer look out for punctures from accessories such as rivet pin, nail etc. on the roof during installation. Also, you must take a close look at your roof flashings during and after installation of your vents and HVAC.

Trees

Tree limbs should be trimmed back away from the roof as much as possible and if a tree is close enough to pose a threat to your home, it should be removed.

While there are some installers out there who are likely to rush your roofing project and make a costly mistake, there are many who are professional. Make sure you take your time when choosing an installer and consider more than just the price.

We are happy to discuss your roofing project with you and provide you with a competitive quotation.
