Roof Replacement in Palmetto Dunes, 2018

At JP Contractors Inc., we're proud to be the go-to choice for residential roofing needs in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton area.  With our unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, we've earned a reputation for excellence that spans over four decades.  Let's dive into how our residential roofing process meets the unique needs of homeowners in Hilton Head Island and Bluffton.


Step 1: Inspection and Emergency Mitigation

The roof of your house or commercial structure can be damaged by windstorms, hail, falling trees, or due to improper installation. In occurrence of one of these events, it is best to find a temporary solution to mitigate further damages. In most scenarios, it is difficult to have the roof repaired right away. Repairs can often get delayed while insurance providers review claims and make their assessment rulings.

Roof tarps are a solution that not only prevent additional damage from occurring, but also protect the structure from the elements.  JP Contractors INC offers professional roof tarping services and can provide you with a heavy-duty roof tarp in any weather event. Many insurance providers insist that you get a temporary solution before repairs take place to mitigate further damages. Most insurance providers will even cover the cost of the roof tarps and the installation service.

Separate from managing Mitigation Needs - Our process starts with a comprehensive inspection of your roof, conducted by our experienced professionals, who are familiar with the specific challenges posed by the coastal climate of Hilton Head Island and Bluffton.  We understand the importance of assessing potential issues such as wind/storm damage, salt exposure, and moisture infiltration.  Following the inspection, we provide a proposal tailored to your roof and home's specific needs.

Step 2: Material Selection and Deliveries

In Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, where architectural styles vary from coastal cottages to elegant estates, selecting the right roofing materials is crucial.  Our team works closely with you to choose materials that not only withstand the coastal elements but also complement the aesthetic of your home.

Whether your project requires traditional asphalt shingles, custom metal roofing, or use of specialty products, we’re here to ensure your choice reflects both durability and style. 

Material Deliveries for total roof replacements are usually dropped to the job address directly from the supply house. Generally, a project manager will appear at the beginning of the roof removal process and await the scheduled delivery of material.

The supply house typically sends the materials on a “boom truck” when feasible and lifts the material to the roof. However, accessibility can be limited at times. In these cases, there is no charge for ground dropped material. Once the materials are on the ground, we will use hand loading techniques to get them up onto the roof.

Step 3: Roof Removal and Roof Decking

Roof removals are routinely scheduled in the morning and early afternoon. Generally, a minimum of 3-4 team members will be on site to complete a roof removal. The team will arrive and place a dump trailer at the location of the replacement.

Before beginning the tear-off process, our team moves any outdoor furniture or decor and places heavy duty tarps below the roof perimeter, in efforts of covering the driveway and landscaping. Members of our team then use ‘shingle shovels’ to remove the existing roofing material, and carefully dispose of it in the dump trailer.

We always thoroughly inspect to foresee the amount of decking that may be water damaged and need replaced before a total replacement project. However, damaged plywood can oftentimes be hidden by the existing roofing material and not observed until that roofing is removed during the tear off process. JP Contractors INC replaces all unserviceable decking with new decking to match existing and restore a solid roof base, ensuring the new roof is up to code.

Step 4: Roof Installation and Quality Assurance

Following the roof removal and roof decking repairs, The install team will begin to mechanically fasten the underlayment material to the roof decking. Once the underlayment material is installed, the team will begin to fasten the selected material onto the underlayment. The team will also install/replace any accessories removed during the tear-off process.

With our extensive experience serving Hilton Head Island and Bluffton communities, we understand the importance of meticulous attention to detail and techniques that account for the unique weather conditions of the area.  Our skilled tradesmen adhere to strict quality standards and utilize advanced techniques to ensure that your new roof components are installed correctly and securely.

After the installation is complete, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure that your roof meets our standards of quality and craftsmanship.  We pay special attention to critical details in the Lowcountry to prevent water intrusion and add reinforcement against high winds.  Our goal is to provide you with a roof that looks great and withstands our coastal climate, providing reliable protection for many years to come.
