Each day can look a little different for roofing professionals. We're here to provide expert insights on the daily responsibilities of our roofing crew.
Roofing Inspections And Estimates
Every roofing project begins with the same crucial step: a roof inspection. On any given day, our roofing contractors are performing property inspections in Windsor, Loveland, Fort Collins, and other cities along the Front Range.
At Ethos, we are proud to offer FREE inspections to homeowners and business owners alike. These inspections typically take 45 minutes and will consist of 3 different stages:
- A ground-level inspection
- An exterior inspection from the top of your roof
- And an interior inspection of your attic space
At Ethos, we train our staff to always inspect much more than just the roofing system. We value transparency and honesty, so our roofing experts will always notify you of any damage found on your roof and anywhere else on your property (e.g., siding, windows, etc.).
After we systematically inspect your home, we'll provide you with an accurate estimate using a pricing software called Xactimate. This software allows us to generate a fair estimate for your roofing needs.
Once the estimate is handed off, our roofers will stick around to answer any questions before they hit the road.
Prepare Roofing Job Sites
Preparation is the key to success. To deliver high-quality roofing restorations safely, our roofers will need to gather the right materials and equipment for the job.
Every day, we prepare for roofing projects by:
- Delivering the right shingles, flashing, and other roofing materials to the job site
- Erecting scaffolding and other safety features on the job site
- Placing protective features around your property to minimize accidental property damage
- And arranging for a dumpster to be delivered to the property
Our roofing contractors in Windsor additionally conduct a full equipment inspection and safety check prior to arriving at the job site. This helps ensure all of our tools are not damaged, are OSHA-compliant, and are ready for use.
Roof Repairs And Replacements
As we said earlier, every day is a little different for our roofing experts. One afternoon they might complete minor roof repairs, and the next day they'll begin a multi-day roof replacement.
These daily differences can create unique challenges for each roofing project that we take on. Roof repairs tend to be quicker and less labor-intensive than roof replacements.
In general, your roofer in Windsor will work through a series of steps for a roof replacement project. These include:
- Removing the old roofing materials
- Inspecting the underlayment and wood decking for further issues
- Preparing the roof surface for the new shingles (e.g., underlayment, drip edge, roofing felt, etc.)
- Installing the new roofing materials (e.g., shingles, ridge vents, ridge capping, etc.)
Site Clean-Up
We never leave a job site without double-checking our work and tidying up the property.
Once the repairs are finished, our project foreman will conduct a final walkthrough of the property to make sure the contract has been fulfilled. Our roofers in Windsor, CO will clear out all the debris, remove all of our equipment, and survey the area around your home with high-power magnets to pick up nails and other hazards.
Once everything is packed up, the project leader will meet with you to clear up any outstanding items or balances. And soon enough, we'll be on the road again.
Ongoing Education
At Ethos, we are guided by 3 core values of quality, integrity, and character. To effectively embody these principles, we participate in continuous learning activities.
As such, we set aside time now and then to allow our roofing contractors to participate in those courses. These may be simple internal team training sessions or challenging classes hosted by organizations like GAF and the NRCA.
Those educational trainings help ensure we're always following the best practices of the roofing industry.
