Choose from architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, synthetic slate, or cedar shakes to match your home and budget.
Code-Compliant Work
Every installation passes municipal inspection and meets International Residential Code requirements for fastening, ventilation, and ice dam protection.

We back our labor with a 10-year workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer coverage that extends up to 50 years.
Every project treated like a structural investment, not a quick job.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Our Roof Installation
Roof installation from ARCM Roofing means qualified professionals handle your home from tear-off to final inspection. We've built our reputation on precision, and it shows in every ridge cap we nail down.
Our installers complete factory training programs through GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. That certification lets us offer extended manufacturer warranties most contractors can't. When we install your roof, the coverage often includes both materials and labor for decades. Planning a shingle roof? See our full guide to asphalt shingle roof installation, the most requested system we install — or explore metal, tile, wood, and flat roofing systems, each with its own dedicated guide.
We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation for every crew member. You'll never face financial exposure from an accident on your property. Our licenses stay current with state and local authorities, and we pull permits for every installation we perform.
- Detailed written estimates with line-item pricing for materials, labor, and disposal
- Dedicated project managers who answer your calls the same day
- Magnetic nail sweeps across your lawn and driveway after tear-off
- Photo documentation of decking condition before we install new underlayment
- Top-rated reviews across Google, BBB, and Angi from verified customers
We also inspect and replace damaged decking before we shingle over it. Some contractors skip this step. We won't. Rotten OSB or plywood compromises fastener holding power and voids manufacturer warranties, so we repair it first and show you the photos.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Roof Installation
Roof installation becomes necessary when repairs no longer make financial sense or when damage reaches the structural level. Watch for these five indicators on your home.
Widespread Granule Loss
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and those granules end up in your gutters and downspouts. When you spot bald patches or heavy granule accumulation, the shingles have lost their UV protection. The asphalt beneath dries out, cracks, and fails. A roof at this stage needs full replacement, not patchwork.
Curling and Cupping Shingles
Shingle edges that curl upward or cup in the center signal thermal aging and poor attic ventilation. Curled shingles break under foot traffic and lift in high winds. Once curling spreads across multiple slopes, spot repairs won't restore the roof's weather resistance.
Sagging Roof Decking
A visible dip in your roofline points to compromised decking or rafters underneath. Moisture intrusion rots the plywood, and the structure weakens over time. This condition demands tear-off, decking replacement, and new roof installation before interior damage spreads.
Recurring Leaks After Repairs
When you've patched flashing around chimneys, sealed pipe boots, and replaced individual shingles but water stains keep appearing on your ceilings, the roof system itself has failed. Chasing leaks across a 20-year-old roof costs more than installing a new one.
Storm Damage Across Multiple Slopes
Hail bruising, wind-lifted shingles, and torn ridge caps after a severe storm often qualify for insurance coverage. An adjuster who finds damage on several slopes will typically approve full replacement. We document storm damage and work directly with your insurance carrier.
How We Work
Our Roof Installation Process
Roof installation at ARCM Roofing follows a structured sequence that protects your property and delivers consistent results. Here's how we build your new roof.
01
Inspection and Estimate
We measure your roof, inspect the decking, flashing, and ventilation, and deliver a written estimate within 48 hours. You'll see exact material specifications and pricing.
02
Material Selection
Our project manager walks you through shingle styles, colors, and warranty tiers. We order materials and schedule delivery to arrive the morning of installation.
03
Property Protection
Crews tarp your landscaping, cover AC units, and position a dump trailer for debris. We protect siding, windows, and gutters before tear-off begins.
04
Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We strip the old roofing down to bare decking and inspect every sheet for rot, delamination, or fastener damage. Compromised sections get replaced and documented with photos.
05
Installation
We lay synthetic underlayment, apply ice and water shield in valleys and along eaves, install drip edge, and shingle the roof to manufacturer nailing patterns. We flash chimneys, seal penetrations, and install ridge ventilation.
06
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
Crews run magnetic sweeps for nails, haul away all debris, and walk the finished roof with you. You receive warranty registration documents before we leave.
Most residential roof installations finish in one to two days.

FAQs
FAQs About Roof Installation
›What is roof installation?
Roof installation is the complete process of removing old roofing materials and building a new roof system, including underlayment, flashing, shingles, and ventilation components. It differs from repair work, which addresses isolated damage.
›How long does roof installation take?
Most single-family homes take one to two days. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or decking repairs can extend the timeline to three or four days. We give you a firm schedule before work starts.
›When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?
Replace your roof when it passes 20 years of age, shows damage across multiple slopes, or leaks repeatedly after repairs. Our inspectors assess the full system and give you an honest recommendation.
›Why does professional roof installation cost more than DIY?
Professional installation includes licensed labor, permits, disposal fees, manufacturer-certified techniques, and warranty coverage. DIY installations void most material warranties and risk code violations that surface during home sales.
›Can you install a new roof over old shingles?
Building codes allow one overlay in many jurisdictions, but we recommend full tear-off. Overlays hide decking damage, add weight, and shorten shingle lifespan. Tear-off lets us inspect and repair the structure underneath.
›Does roof installation come with a warranty?
Yes. Our installations include a 10-year workmanship warranty from ARCM Roofing plus manufacturer material warranties that range from 30 years to lifetime coverage, depending on the shingle line you select.
›How do I get started?
Call us or request a free inspection online. We'll measure your roof, document its condition, and deliver a detailed estimate within 48 hours.
