New Construction Roofing in Franklin

New Construction Roofing for Franklin homes

Franklin pairs a historic downtown and older streets with large newer subdivisions, so roofs here range from century-old homes to houses on their first set of shingles. Franklin's steady pace of custom homes and additions means we often coordinate with builders on roof framing, sheathing schedules and inspections. On additions to older homes, we match the new roof to the existing one so it doesn't look like an afterthought.

What's included

Roofing for new homes, additions and garages, coordinated with builders and framers from sheathing to ridge. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• Dry-in
• Shingles or metal
• Flashing and penetrations
• Ventilation
• Additions and tie-ins
• Review the drawings.
• Schedule to the frame.
• Install and inspect.
• Hand off.

Local conditions in Franklin

Franklin's older homes often have steep, cut-up roofs with dormers, chimneys and porch roofs, while many subdivision homes have multiple gables and valleys over garages and bump-outs. On older houses, expect possible plank decking and more than one old layer; we plan for both in the quote rather than surprising you on the day.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for new construction roofing in Franklin, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Have you reviewed the drawings, including pitches, materials and ventilation?
• How quickly can you dry in the roof after sheathing?
• Who coordinates the soffit, ventilation and insulation trades?
• How will penetrations from other trades be sealed?
• What warranty documentation will I receive?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Franklin are handled by the City of Franklin. Replacing shingles with similar materials often doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing and new skylight openings generally do, and homes in Franklin's historic districts may need design approval for exterior changes. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
