Our veteran-owned and family-operated business approaches each roofing installation with military precision and attention to detail. We’ve installed hundreds of roofing systems across residential and commercial properties, from simple asphalt shingle replacements to complex commercial membrane systems. Every project begins with a thorough structural assessment, examining existing decking, evaluating ventilation requirements, and identifying potential issues that could compromise the new roofing system’s performance. This meticulous preparation ensures that when we install your new roof, it’s built on a solid foundation that maximizes its lifespan and performance.
Our Comprehensive Installation Process
The roofing installation process at Threshold Construction follows a systematic approach developed through years of experience serving Massachusetts communities. We begin with complete removal of existing roofing materials down to the deck, allowing us to inspect and repair any underlying structural issues. Our crews carefully examine every square foot of roof decking, replacing damaged sections and ensuring proper substrate preparation. We then install high-quality ice and water shield barriers along eaves, valleys, and other vulnerable areas, exceeding minimum code requirements to provide superior protection against ice dams and wind-driven rain.
- Premium Underlayment Installation: We install synthetic underlayment across the entire roof surface, providing secondary water protection and enhanced durability compared to traditional felt paper
- Precision Shingle Application: Each shingle is positioned and fastened according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring optimal wind resistance and warranty compliance
- Professional Flashing Systems: We install step flashing, counter flashing, and custom-fabricated components around all roof penetrations and transitions
Material Selection and Quality Standards
Choosing the right roofing materials significantly impacts both immediate installation success and long-term performance. We partner with leading manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, offering comprehensive warranties that protect your investment. Architectural shingles remain the most popular choice for residential properties, providing excellent durability and aesthetic appeal with typical lifespans of 25-30 years when properly installed. For properties requiring enhanced durability, we install premium designer shingles that can last 40-50 years while offering superior impact resistance and distinctive appearance options.
Commercial properties often benefit from different roofing systems, including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen membranes. These materials require specialized installation techniques and equipment that our certified installers have mastered through extensive training and field experience. We evaluate factors including building use, roof slope, local climate conditions, and budget considerations to recommend optimal material selections for each project. Our commitment to quality extends beyond material selection—we maintain rigorous installation standards that often exceed manufacturer requirements, ensuring maximum warranty protection and performance longevity.
Weather Considerations and Project Management
Massachusetts weather presents unique challenges for roofing installation that we’ve learned to navigate through our extensive local experience. Temperature fluctuations, seasonal precipitation patterns, and coastal weather systems all influence installation timing and techniques. We carefully monitor weather forecasts and maintain flexible scheduling to ensure installations occur during optimal conditions. Our crews are equipped with weather protection systems that allow us to quickly secure work areas if unexpected weather develops during installation.
Project management represents a crucial element of successful roofing installation. We coordinate material deliveries, crew scheduling, and inspection requirements to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our family-owned approach means we build relationships with every client, maintaining clear communication throughout the installation process. We provide detailed progress updates, explain any unexpected findings, and ensure you understand every aspect of your new roofing system. This transparency and dedication to customer service reflects our core belief that successful projects stem from strong partnerships between contractors and property owners.
