New construction means we start with a clean deck and build the roofing system properly from the first layer. Fithian Roofing & Maintenance has installed new roofs on hundreds of new builds across Fithian, from custom homes to spec builds, from room additions to detached structures.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Design Consultation
We analyze your plans for pitch, square footage, ventilation needs, and code compliance. You get a detailed proposal with material specs, timeline, and fixed pricing before any work begins.
Material Delivery & Staging
We coordinate delivery timing with your GC so materials don't sit exposed longer than necessary. Our staging crew organizes everything on the roof deck for efficient installation the next morning.
Expert Installation
Our Fithian crew installs every layer to manufacturer specifications: underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter strip, field material, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation. Every fastener placed per the manufacturer nailing schedule.
Final Inspection
Final quality check against manufacturer installation requirements. Building inspection coordinated through our Fithian office. Warranty registered directly with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed.

Why Choose Fithian Roofing & Maintenance for New Roof Installation?
New Construction Specialists
We install new roofs on new builds every week. Our Fithian crews know the pace, the coordination, and the quality standards that new construction demands.
Material Selection Guidance
Shingles, metal, flat systems. We install all of them and help you choose based on your budget, design, and the demands of IL climate.
Builder Coordination

Ventilation Design
We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 for every new install. Balanced ventilation extends roof life and cuts energy costs. Most contractors skip this step.
About Our Fithian New Roof Installation Services
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements per IRC R806 based on your attic square footage. Balanced ventilation (soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust) keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter, extending roof life and reducing energy costs.
Typical new roof installation in Fithian takes 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We coordinate with your builder on scheduling, material delivery, and inspection timing. Materials are staged on-site the day before install to keep the project on schedule.
