Roof Installation Process
OUR Roof Installation Process
Your Home. Our Craftsmanship. Total Peace of Mind.
At J. Carnes & Son Roofing, we take the guesswork out of roofing. When you hire us to install a GAF Weather Roofing System, you’re not just getting shingles—you’re getting a complete, high-performance system backed by the nation’s leading roofing manufacturer and our commitment to excellence. We believe in full transparency, expert supervision, and meticulous quality control—so here’s exactly what you can expect when you work with us.
1. Consultation & Free EstimaTION
It starts with a call or online inquiry. Our customer service team will gather information about your project and schedule a time for a roofing consultant to meet you at your home. During this visit, we’ll inspect your roof, explain your options, and provide a detailed proposal with no pressure or sales games.
2. SCHEDULING & PERMITTING
Once you approve the proposal, we’ll take care of the details— to ordering materials. We’ll also work with you to select your GAF shingle style and color, and schedule a convenient installation date.
3. MEET YOUR ON-SITE PROJECT SUPERVISOR
Your dedicated Project Supervisor will introduce themselves before the job begins. They’ll be on site every day to lead the crew, maintain quality control, ensure safety, and communicate directly with you throughout the process.
4. GAF WEATHER STOPPER ROOF SYSTEM INSTALLATION
We install your new roof to GAF’s exacting standards, using only GAF-certified materials as part of the full Weather Stopper system:
• Tear-Off & Inspection: We remove all old roofing down to the decking and inspect for damage. Damaged or rotted wood is replaced as needed.
• Leak Barrier (WeatherWatch® or StormGuard®): Installed in vulnerable areas like valleys, eaves, rakes, and around penetrations to prevent leaks from wind-driven rain and ice dams.
• Roof Deck Protection (Felt Buster™ or Deck-Armor™): A breathable underlayment is added to protect your deck and improve roof longevity.
• Starter Strip Shingles (Pro-Start®): Installed along eaves and rakes to prevent shingle blow-off and ensure proper sealing.
• GAF Lifetime Shingles: Your selected GAF architectural shingles are installed with precision for maximum durability and curb appeal.
• Ridge Vents (Cobra® Exhaust Vent): We install proper attic ventilation to balance airflow, reduce moisture, and extend roof life.
• Ridge Cap Shingles (Timbertex®): These add a finished look and an extra layer of protection at roof peaks and ridges.
5. 100-Point Quality Checklist
Every roof we install undergoes a 100-Point Inspection, completed by your Project Supervisor before the job is considered finished. From fastener spacing to flashing to ventilation, no detail is overlooked.
6. CLEANUP & FINAL WALKTHROUGH
We clean the site daily, and upon completion, we conduct a magnetic sweep to remove any stray nails. Your supervisor will walk you through the finished roof, answer your questions, and ensure you’re completely satisfied before sign-off.
7. WARRANTY REGISTRATION
We’ll register your GAF system warranty on your behalf and provide all documentation for your records. As a GAF-certified contractor, we’re able to offer industry-leading warranties that include coverage for both materials and workmanship.

Outstanding communication! Emails from multiple members of this team regularly throughout the process. Text messages notifying me of important emails. Accurate quotes that did not change. Got us on the schedule fast. They Showed up on time and were done before 4pm. Great clean up! It was like they were never here…other than the new roof!
