Congratulations on your new roof installation! At Grand Rising Exteriors, we understand that a roof is a significant investment in your home, and we want to ensure you know what to expect once the installation is complete. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the crucial steps following your roof installation, including curing periods, after-care clean-up, and warranty registration.
Understanding the Curing Period
After your new roof is installed, the curing period is an essential phase. This period is crucial for ensuring the longevity and performance of your roof. Here’s what you need to know:
Asphalt Shingles: For asphalt shingles, the adhesive strips need time to properly seal. This process can take up to a few weeks, depending on the weather conditions. Warm temperatures and sunlight aid in this process, allowing the shingles to bond effectively.
Metal Roofs: If you’ve chosen a metal roof, there’s generally less of a curing period, but it’s still important to allow the materials to settle and ensure that all components are securely fastened.
Post-Installation Clean-Up
Once your roof installation is complete, a thorough clean-up is conducted to ensure your property is left in pristine condition. Here’s what you can expect:
Debris Removal: Our team will remove all debris from the installation site, including old shingles, nails, and other materials. We use magnetized tools to collect stray nails that might be scattered around your property.
Gutter and Downspout Inspection: We will inspect and clean out gutters and downspouts to ensure they’re free of debris and functioning correctly. Proper drainage is vital to the longevity of your new roof.
Final Walkthrough: We’ll perform a final walkthrough with you to address any concerns, answer your questions, and ensure you’re completely satisfied with the work.
Registering Your Warranty
Your new roof comes with warranties that protect your investment. Here’s how to ensure your warranties are properly registered:
Manufacturer’s Warranty: The warranty provided by the roofing material manufacturer typically covers defects in the materials. To register this warranty, you’ll need to complete and submit a warranty registration form, which we can help you with. We also provide copies of all necessary documents for warranty purposes to ensure you have everything you need.
Workmanship Warranty: At Grand Rising Exteriors, we offer a workmanship warranty that covers the quality of the installation. This warranty is registered through our company, and you don’t need to do anything additional to register it. However, it’s a good idea to keep a record of your warranty details and the installation date for future reference. We will also provide you with copies of the warranty documents for your records.
Routine Maintenance and Inspections
To ensure the long-term performance of your roof, regular maintenance and inspections are essential:
Routine Inspections: Check your roof periodically for any signs of damage or wear. Look for missing shingles, loose flashing, or debris accumulation.
Professional Inspections: We recommend scheduling professional inspections at least once a year or after severe weather events. Our team can help identify potential issues early and provide necessary repairs.
