Craft & Detailing

A roof is more than the surface.

The layers underneath and the metal detailing at transitions decide how the system holds up against Nebraska wind, temperature swings, and moisture.

  • Decking — the solid structural sheathing that supports everything.
  • Underlayment — a secondary water-shedding barrier across all planes.
  • Ice & water shield — self-sealing membrane along eaves, valleys, and walls.
  • Flashing & valleys — metal detailing that channels runoff away from penetrations.
  • Balanced ventilation — intake and exhaust airflow protecting attic longevity.

Know what changes the price

No instant quote — just the real cost drivers.

Roof size, complexity, preparation, material choice, and system details all shape the investment. A written project scope from your contractor sets the actual price.

  • Roof size & pitch
    Larger and steeper roofs require additional materials, staging, and safety equipment.
  • Complexity
    Valleys, dormers, skylights, and multiple roof planes require precise hand detailing.
  • Preparation
    Tear-off, decking repairs, and site disposal assessed for your exact roof.
  • Material choice
    Asphalt, composite, and metal carry distinct raw material costs.
  • System detailing
    Upgrades to underlayment, ice protection, and ventilation.
  • Property access
    Height, landscaping, and lot layout affecting staging logistics.

Roofing and siding, planned together

When it makes sense, coordinate the two.

Roof and siding meet at the same architectural boundaries — fascia, rake boards, and wall-to-roof transitions. Sequencing them together can simplify flashing and trim detailing. It’s an option, not a package you’re pushed into, and there’s no automatic savings to promise.

Siding guideJames Hardie
  • James Hardie fiber cement for a durable, architecturally crisp profile.
  • LP SmartSide engineered wood for warm texture and impact resilience.
  • Roof-to-wall intersection flashing planned cleanly before siding goes up.
