New Construction Roof Installation in Paris, TX

This was a ground-up new roof installation on a new-construction home in Paris, TX. There was no tear-off and no old roof to work around. We started from bare decking, which is the ideal way to build a roof because every layer goes down right the first time. The builder wanted a roof that would carry a real manufacturer warranty and hold up to North Texas weather for the long haul, so the spec called for a full GAF architectural shingle system installed exactly the way the manufacturer intends.

A new build sounds simpler than a replacement, but the standard is higher. Nothing is hidden by an existing roof, so every detail shows. The real work was in the parts most people never see: getting the right synthetic underlayment down, sealing the deck correctly, and balancing the ventilation so the attic breathes the way it should. Get the ventilation wrong on a brand-new roof and you trap heat and moisture for the life of the home. The decking also had to be checked and fastened to spec before a single shingle went on. The foundation of the roof had to be right, because everything above it depends on it.

We approached this new roof installation the way the manufacturer writes it. First, synthetic underlayment over clean, sound decking, with proper coverage at the eaves and valleys. Then we balanced the system: intake ventilation at the soffits paired with exhaust at the ridge, so air moves through the attic instead of sitting in it. The GAF architectural shingles went down to spec with correct nailing patterns and starter and ridge cap details done by the book. Doing it this way is what makes the manufacturer warranty stick and what lets the roof actually perform for decades instead of just looking good on day one.

Two days of work produced a complete, warrantied roof on a new home in Paris that was built right from the deck up. The homeowner got a clean architectural shingle roof with proper ventilation and a GAF system warranty backing it. New construction lets us set the standard from scratch, and that is exactly what we did here. For a look at heavier commercial work, see our Greenville commercial metal re-roof project.
