New construction means we start with a clean deck and build the roofing system properly from the first layer. San Luis Obispo Roofing & Maintenance has installed new roofs on hundreds of new builds across San Luis Obispo, from custom homes to spec builds, from room additions to detached structures.
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements per IRC R806 based on your attic square footage. Balanced ventilation (soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust) keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter, extending roof life and reducing energy costs.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Plan Review & Consultation
We review your building plans, discuss material options, and calculate ventilation requirements. Roof pitch, attic space, local code amendments, and your aesthetic preferences all factor into the recommendation.
Material Delivery & Staging
All materials verified against your approved proposal. Color, brand, quantity, everything double-checked before install day. No substitutions without your approval.
Certified Installation
Installation follows IRC building code and manufacturer requirements. Proper overlap, correct fastener patterns, sealed penetrations, and balanced ventilation. Our crews are factory-trained and know the installation manuals by heart.
Inspection & Warranty
We schedule the building inspection and walk the roof with the inspector. Your manufacturer warranty gets registered the same day the roof passes inspection. You receive warranty paperwork within a week.
