A dry-in is the installation of roofing underlayment on a new construction roof before the finish shingles go on. It protects the framing and sheathing from rain during construction. Getting dry-in scheduled quickly after the framing is complete is critical in Nashville, where summer storms can cause significant damage to exposed framing.
Both. We work with production builders on scheduled phases across active subdivisions and with custom builders on one-off projects. Our experience across the Nashville metro—from Spring Hill and Smyrna up to Hendersonville and Gallatin—means we know the permit offices, inspection requirements, and scheduling realities in each county.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the standard for new construction in the Nashville market at most price points. Metal standing seam is increasingly common on higher-end custom builds, particularly in Brentwood and Franklin. We install both and can advise on material selection based on the home design and budget.
A typical single-family home takes 1–3 days for the finish roof installation. Larger homes, complex rooflines, or metal systems take longer. We work around the builder’s schedule and coordinate with other trades to avoid delays.
Yes. We are licensed, bonded, and insured in Tennessee for both residential and commercial work, including new construction. We can provide certificates of insurance to builders and general contractors on request.
