Builders & owner-builders
New Construction Roofing
Roofed right from day one.
Builder and homeowner partnerships across St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, on schedule and to code.
Division 07 / 08
Overview
On a build, the roof is the schedule.
On a new build, the roof is on the critical path — everything after dry-in waits on it. We work with builders and owner-builders across St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, hit the dates we commit to, and install to code and manufacturer specification so the warranty actually holds.
Everything downstream of dry-in waits on the roof — mechanicals, insulation, drywall and every trade queued behind them. A roofer who runs two weeks late does not cost you two weeks of roofing, he costs two weeks of the entire build and the goodwill of four other crews. We hold the dates we commit to, we tell you early when weather is going to move one, and we would rather turn a job down than take a slot we know we cannot make.

What to expect
Dry-in dates you can build around.
How we work with builders and owner-builders across St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, from take-off through hand-off.
Book against the framing date
Two to three weeks of notice is comfortable in most seasons; spring and autumn fill faster and firm dates go first. For builders running several houses a year we will hold a recurring slot and price by the square, so nobody is re-quoting the same roof every time.
Plans reviewed before we are on site
We take off from the prints and flag the details that decide whether a complex roof leaks in year three: valley construction, dormer-to-wall transitions, the cricket behind the chimney, and where the ventilation is genuinely going to come from. Far better raised at plan stage than discovered on the deck.
Dry-in, then finish to specification
Ice-and-water where code requires it and where experience says it belongs regardless, synthetic underlayment across the field, and installation to manufacturer specification so the material warranty actually holds. A corner cut on a new build becomes a warranty problem somebody inherits.
Clean hand-off to the next trade
Debris off the site, magnets over the drive and the lot, and the building left in a state the next crew can work in. On a build with several trades rotating through, that matters more than it does on a re-roof — and it is the thing site supervisors remember.
Owner-builders are welcome here
You do not have to be a production builder to work with us. If you are managing your own build, we will walk you through material classes and explain what the different price points genuinely buy — which is usually a longer warranty, a heavier mat and better wind rating rather than a prettier shingle. It is the same conversation we would want if we were the ones spending the money.
Common questions
New Construction, answered.
If your question is not here, call (574) 334-6597 and ask. We would rather spend five minutes on the phone than have you guess.
Do you work directly with builders?
Yes, and that is a large share of what we do. We can hold a recurring slot in your schedule and price by the square for repeat work.
Can you handle complex roof lines?
Yes — multiple valleys, dormers, and steep pitches are routine. Complex roofs are exactly where flashing detail decides whether the roof leaks in year three.
How far in advance should I schedule dry-in?
Two to three weeks is comfortable in most seasons. Spring and autumn book up faster, so earlier is better if your framing date is firm.
The rest of the envelope
We also handle everything around it.
One crew across the whole exterior, so nothing falls into the gap between two contractors.
Free inspection · No pressure
Hold a dry-in date.
Send us the framing date and the roof plan and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it. If we cannot, you will hear that early enough to do something about it.
