New Roof Installation in Asheville, NC
Building a new home or adding on? We install complete roof systems in asphalt shingles or metal, planned around your framing and built to handle Western North Carolina weather from the very first storm.
- New Construction and Additions
A Roof Planned Right From the Framing Up
A new roof is the one chance to get every layer right from the start. There is no old material to work around and no hidden damage to chase. We install roofs on new homes, garages, workshops and additions across the Asheville area, and we treat the job as a full system. The decking, the underlayment, the flashing, the ventilation and the finished surface all have to work together. When one layer is skipped or rushed, a roof can look fine for years before the problem shows up inside.
Additions bring their own challenge. The new roof has to meet the old one, and that seam is where leaks like to start. We study how your existing roof is pitched, what it is covered with and how water moves across it, then plan the tie-in so rain flows past the joint instead of into it. The goal is an addition that looks like it was always part of the house, with a roofline and finish that match as closely as the materials allow.
Mountain weather shapes every decision. Heavy rain, wind across open ridges and long stretches of humid weather all test a roof in different ways. Owner Pablo Magos visits the site himself, looks at the plans or the framing, and talks you through asphalt shingles or metal for the build. You get a written estimate before any work begins, so you and your builder know exactly what is included.
What Goes Into a New Roof
Decking and Underlayment
The roof deck is the base everything else sits on. We check that it is solid and fastened properly, then lay underlayment as a second line of defense against wind-driven rain.
Flashing at Walls and Valleys
Anywhere the roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof plane, flashing directs water away from the joint. On a new build, it can go in cleanly before the trim and siding are finished.
Ventilation Planning
Attic airflow keeps heat and moisture from building up under the roof. We plan intake and exhaust for your roof shape, which matters a great deal in the humid summers around Asheville.
Additions and Tie-Ins
Joining a new roof to an existing one takes care. We plan where the two meet so water runs past the seam, and we match the look of your current roof as closely as possible.
Shingle or Metal Finish
Choose asphalt shingles or a metal roof for your new construction. We explain how each one suits the pitch, the style of the home and your budget before you decide.
- Why Build With Magos
A Roofer Who Thinks About the Whole House
On a new build, the roof gets one clean start. Pablo Magos has spent over 12 years on roofs in the mountains, and he brings that experience to the planning stage, not just the install. We talk with you and your builder, ask the right questions early and put everything in a written estimate.
Pablo handles the estimate himself, so the person who plans your roof knows the trade firsthand.
We install both asphalt shingles and metal, so the advice you get is not tied to a single product.
Clear communication with you and your builder keeps the roof in step with the rest of the project.
- How It Works
From Plans to a Finished Roof
Review the Plans
Send us your plans or have us visit the framed structure. We look at pitch, layout and how the roof meets any existing building, then answer your questions about the options.
Get a Written Estimate
You receive a free written estimate that spells out the materials and the scope. Nothing starts until you and your builder are comfortable with the plan we put together.
Install the System
Our crew installs each layer in order, from the deck to the finished surface, and coordinates with the rest of the build so the roof fits the flow of the job.
Starting a New Build Near Asheville?
Call us early in the project. A short conversation before the trusses go up can save you trouble later and keep your roof plan simple.
New Roof Installation Questions
When should I contact a roofer during a new build?
As early as you can. Ideally we see the plans before framing is finished, so we can flag anything that makes the roof harder to keep dry, like tight valleys or awkward wall intersections. Early contact also gives you time to compare shingles and metal and settle on a material before the schedule gets tight.
Can you work with my general contractor?
Yes. A new roof is often one part of a larger project, and we are happy to coordinate with your builder. We keep everyone informed about what we need on site and when, so the roof fits into the build instead of holding it up.
Will my addition's roof match the rest of the house?
We aim for a match that looks natural from the street. If your existing roof is shingle, we look for a product close in color and style. Shingles that have been in the sun for years fade, so a new section may look a little different at first. We will be honest about how close the match can get before you commit.
Does a low-slope addition need a different kind of roof?
Often, yes. Shingles need enough pitch to shed water, and on a very shallow roof water can back up underneath them. If your addition has a low pitch, we measure the slope and talk through options, such as a mechanical-seam metal roof, which is designed to handle lower slopes.
Do you put roofs on garages, sheds and workshops?
Yes. Detached garages, workshops and outbuildings need a sound roof as much as the house does. Metal is a common choice for these buildings because it sheds rain and snow well, and if you plan to build it yourself, we also sell the metal panels and trim.
Why does attic ventilation matter on a new roof?
A roof without good airflow traps heat in summer and moisture in winter. That can lead to condensation on the underside of the deck, mold and shingles that age faster than they should. On a new roof we plan balanced intake at the eaves and exhaust near the ridge, so air moves through the attic the way it should.
