Why Quality Control Matters When Installing Your Roof or Siding
Your Roof and Siding Protect What Matters Most
When you invest in a new roof or siding, you aren't just paying for shingles, panels, flashing, or labor. You are investing in the protection of your home, your family, and one of your biggest financial investments.
That is why quality control should be just as important as the materials being installed.
At Covered Construction Inc., serving homeowners throughout Metro Detroit and surrounding areas, we believe the job isn't finished simply because the last shingle has been installed or the last piece of siding has been secured.
The job is finished when we have inspected our work, addressed any concerns, and walked the completed project with you.
What Does Quality Control Mean in Roofing and Siding?
Quality control means having a process in place to make sure the work was completed properly — not simply assuming everything was done correctly because the crew says the job is finished.
A quality-controlled roofing or siding project should include attention to details such as:
Roofing Quality Control
Proper shingle installation
Proper flashing installation
Ice and water protection where required
Proper underlayment installation
Proper ventilation
Proper installation around roof penetrations
Proper drip edge installation
Proper ridge and intake ventilation
Proper cleanup of roofing debris
Inspection for exposed fasteners or installation issues
Checking that all components are properly secured
Siding Quality Control
Proper starter strip installation
Correct panel alignment
Proper fastening
Correct installation around windows and doors
Proper flashing and weather protection
Proper installation of trim and accessories
Proper spacing for expansion and contraction
Inspection of corners, transitions and penetrations
Proper cleanup of the property
These details may not always be obvious to a homeowner standing in the driveway. That's why having a professional quality-control process matters.
At Covered Construction, We Don't Just "Finish and Leave"
One of the things that separates our process from simply getting a crew to complete a project is what happens after the installation is complete.
Before we consider your roof or siding project finished, we perform a final inspection of the work.
We look over the completed installation and make sure the project meets our expectations for workmanship.
If something needs additional attention, we want to identify it before we consider the project complete.
That's what quality control is all about.
Your Final Walkthrough Matters
After our internal inspection, we also believe you deserve the opportunity to see the completed project with us.
That's why we conduct a final walkthrough with you, the homeowner.
In many cases, this walkthrough will be conducted with one of the owners of Covered Construction Inc.
We don't want you wondering:
"Was everything completed?"
"Did they finish everything they promised?"
"Does everything look right?"
"What happens if I have a question?"
Instead, we want to walk through the completed project with you and give you the opportunity to ask questions and look over the work.
It's Your Home. You Deserve to Know What Was Done.
Your roof is your home's first line of defense against Michigan's weather. Your siding protects your exterior from the elements while contributing to the appearance and value of your home.
These are not small purchases.
That's why we believe you should have confidence in the work before the project is officially closed out.
Peace of Mind Before Your Final Payment
A new roof or siding project can be a significant investment.
At Covered Construction Inc., our goal is to give you peace of mind before you hand over that final payment.
Our quality-control process and final walkthrough provide an opportunity to make sure you understand what was completed and that any questions or concerns can be addressed.
We don't believe you should feel like the contractor disappears as soon as the last piece of material is installed.
We're still here at the end of the project.
And when possible, one of our owners will be there with you for the final walkthrough.
Why This Matters When Choosing a Roofing or Siding Contractor
When comparing roofing or siding contractors, homeowners often focus on:
Price
Shingle or siding brand
Warranty
Color
Estimated completion date
Those things are important.
But don't forget to ask about what happens after the installation.
Ask your contractor:
"Who performs your final inspection?"
"Do you conduct a final walkthrough with the homeowner?"
"Who will be there if something needs to be addressed?"
The answers to those questions can tell you a lot about how a contractor approaches the job.
