Helms Construction · Since 2009

A roof replacement planned around your home.

A new roof is a complete construction project, not simply a new layer of shingles. Helms Construction helps Charlotte and Union County homeowners understand the condition of their roof and the scope needed to replace it properly.

A clear construction plan

Start with the
actual conditions.

We start with an inspection of the existing roofing, accessible roof details and related exterior components. We discuss the concerns you have noticed, review practical construction options and define the work before the project begins.

Materials and details depend on the roof design, manufacturer instructions, existing construction and applicable code. Not every roof needs the same assembly, flashing detail or ventilation approach. The agreed scope should explain what is included and how conditions uncovered during removal will be addressed.

From removal to the roof deck

Removing the existing roofing allows the underlying deck to be evaluated. Damaged or unsuitable decking may require repair before the new system is installed. Conditions that were concealed during the initial inspection should be documented and discussed rather than covered over.

  • Removal of existing roofing within the agreed scope
  • Evaluation of exposed decking and discussion of necessary repairs
  • Synthetic underlayment and ice and water protection where appropriate

The details that connect the system

We plan these components where required by the roof design, manufacturer instructions, existing construction or applicable code. Flashing and transitions deserve attention because water often enters at joints, penetrations and changes in roof geometry.

  • Starter shingles and architectural shingles
  • Valleys and roof-to-wall transitions
  • Step flashing, roof-to-wall flashing and chimney flashing where applicable
  • Pipe boots and other roof penetrations
  • Ventilation and ridge vent where applicable
  • Ridge cap and finishing details

Protecting the property and finishing the work

Before construction, discuss access, deliveries, landscaping and the areas that need special care. Cleanup is part of the project, followed by a final walkthrough or completion review and documentation of the finished scope. If gutters, fascia or other exterior components need attention, we can discuss coordinating that work with the roofing project.

Questions to ask before work begins

Ask which roofing components are included, how decking repairs will be handled, what ventilation approach is planned and how work around chimneys or walls will be detailed. A clear construction scope helps you compare options and understand the project without relying on vague promises.

What to expect
