Our Craftsmanship: A Roof Built the Way It Should Be
Our lead installer is Amish, and he runs every Hoff job to a craftsman standard: build it once and build it right.
What craftsmanship means on a roof
It is not a slogan. It shows up in details you can check: shingle courses that run straight, nails placed where the manufacturer specifies and driven flush, flashing that is cut and fitted to the wall, valleys laid so water runs clean, and ridge caps set in a true line.
Most roof failures come from skipped steps in exactly these places. Doing each one properly takes a little longer. It is also why the roof lasts.
How a Hoff roof goes on
- The old roof comes off down to the wood, so nothing is hidden.
- The deck is inspected and any soft or rotted wood is replaced.
- Drip edge goes on, then ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys.
- Underlayment covers the whole deck.
- Starter strips, then shingles, nailed to the manufacturer pattern.
- Flashing is fitted at every wall, vent and penetration.
- Hip and ridge caps finish the roof.
- The site is cleaned and swept with a magnet for nails.
Why it also costs you less
A roof done right the first time does not need call-backs, and a crew that works efficiently does not pad the hours. That is a large part of how we regularly beat other bids without using cheaper materials.
