New construction roofing requires more than just technical skill. It demands collaboration, precise timing, and the ability to seamlessly integrate new roofing systems with existing structures. When a homeowner decided to expand their property with a new garage addition and covered porch, they needed a roofing partner who could work hand-in-hand with their builder to ensure flawless results. That’s where Goodrich Roofing came in.
This project showcased our expertise in new construction roofing, builder collaboration, and TPO system integration while maintaining the quality and performance standards we’ve upheld for over 80 years.
The Task at Hand
Our client was adding a detached garage and covered porch to their property which both requiring new TPO roofing systems. The challenge wasn’t just installing new roofs; it was coordinating with the builder’s construction timeline and ensuring the new TPO roofing integrated perfectly with the existing system we had installed on the main house just a few years earlier.
Here’s what we needed to accomplish:
- Coordinate with the builder to ensure roofing installation aligned with the construction schedule
- Install TPO roofing on the new garage and seamlessly tie it into the existing home’s roof system
- Roof the covered porch with matching TPO membrane
- Maintain consistency in appearance and performance across all roof sections
- Clean and inspect the existing TPO roof we installed previously to ensure it was in optimal condition
New construction roofing projects like this require careful planning and open communication between the roofing contractor, builder, and homeowner. Any misalignment in scheduling or installation approach could delay the entire project or compromise the roof’s integrity.
Our Solution
Throughout the project, we maintained regular contact with the builder to adjust schedules as needed and ensure every phase flowed smoothly. We carefully tied in the new membrane using proper heat-welding techniques, ensuring watertight seams and consistent performance across the entire roofing system. The connection points were reinforced and finished to manufacturer specifications, creating a unified roof that looks and performs as one cohesive system. For the covered porch, we installed matching TPO membrane, maintaining aesthetic consistency while providing the same superior protection and durability the homeowner has enjoyed on their main roof.
While we were on-site, we took the opportunity to thoroughly clean the existing TPO roof we had installed a few years back. Regular cleaning removes debris, prevents premature aging, and allows us to inspect the membrane for any issues. The completed project delivered exactly what the homeowner envisioned: a beautifully integrated roofing system that protects their expanded property while maintaining the clean, professional appearance they expect. This project reinforced what we already know: successful new construction roofing is about being a reliable partner who understands construction timelines, communicates proactively, and delivers quality work when and where it’s needed.
