When you're building new in Dorset, the roof is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It protects everything underneath it for the next 30-50 years. Dorset Roofing & Maintenance helps you choose the right material, designs proper ventilation, and installs it to manufacturer specifications.
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
Design Consultation
Meet with our Dorset project coordinator to select materials, review color options, and confirm the installation scope. We work with your GC or architect to ensure the roof spec meets the overall building design.
Preparation
All materials verified against your approved proposal. Color, brand, quantity, everything double-checked before install day. No substitutions without your approval.
Expert Installation
From underlayment to ridge cap, every layer installed in the correct sequence by certified crews. A project manager is on-site for new construction installs to ensure quality at every stage.
Inspection & Warranty
Final quality check against manufacturer installation requirements. Building inspection coordinated through our Dorset office. Warranty registered directly with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed.
