A Roofer’s Day Unraveling the Rooftops


Morning Briefing

The day begins with a team huddle at Black Rock Roofing’s headquarters. Our foreman, Jake, briefs us on the day’s schedule and assigns tasks. Today, we have a roof replacement job in Amherst, NY, and a siding replacement project in West Seneca, NY.

On-Site Preparations

  • We load up our trucks with all the necessary roofing materials, tools, and safety gear.
  • Upon arrival at the Amherst site, we set up safety perimeters and prepare the area for the roof removal.
  • Our team carefully inspects the existing roof structure, checking for any potential issues or hidden damage.

Roof Replacement in Action

With everything in place, we begin the roof replacement process. It’s a well-choreographed dance of precision and teamwork:

  1. The old shingles are carefully removed, and any damaged underlayment is replaced.
  2. We install new underlayment and flashing around chimneys, skylights, and other protrusions.
  3. The new shingles are laid in a systematic pattern, ensuring proper overlap and ventilation.
  4. Final touches are made, including ridge cap installation and cleanup.

Siding Replacement in West Seneca

As the roofing team wraps up in Amherst, another crew heads to West Seneca for the siding replacement job. This involves:

  • Careful removal of the old siding, preserving any underlying insulation and moisture barriers.
  • Inspecting the exterior walls for any damage or rot, and addressing it appropriately.
  • Installing new siding panels, ensuring proper alignment and weather-tight seams.
  • Finishing touches like trim work and caulking for a clean, polished look.

End of Day Wrap-Up

As the sun sets, we gather our tools and materials, ensuring job sites are left clean and secure. Back at the office, we debrief, discuss any challenges faced, and plan for the next day’s projects. It’s a satisfying feeling, knowing we’ve helped protect homes and businesses across Buffalo, NY, and its surrounding areas with our quality roofing and siding services.
