Richmond Roofing Calgary SW – New Construction
This new construction job was recently finished by Done Right Roofing in the Richmond area of Calgary. This part of Calgary is very popular with investors right now for tearing down old houses and building infills. There is a big difference from roofing a new construction project and reroofing for a private homeowner. One big change is no one is home! So the logistics of orchestrating the jobsite is much much easier. Secondly, the work area is actually an in progress construction site, so things like clean up are not at the top of the builders priority list, but of course do still happen. Also, builders usually will provide waste disposal in a bin that is onsite for the entire project. The biggest difference however is that there is no old roof to tear off. And along with this there is no rotted wood, no penetrations to reflash (only to install from scratch which is much cleaner), and much much less labour. New roofing goes ALOT faster in than reroofing and for this reason retails at a much much lower rate.
One interesting fact to note about new roofing in Calgary is that the architects love lots of roof lines. Translation: New roofs in Calgary tend to be significantly more cut up then older roofs. This richmond roof actually isn’t that bad in comparison to some of the roofs we come across in new construction. However, you may notice that long lip running all the way down the left side of the roof. This aesthetic feature is not really a necessary part of the roof line and it typical new construction in Calgary.
