Roofing - Chimney Cricket
This is what we call a cricket... It's a ridge structure designed to divert water on a roof around the high side of a chimney. Unfortunately, for this homeowner the previous roofing did not install one, hence the damaged wood picture below (left side). New Look is happy to help our customers avoid future damage due to improper installation. We love doing it the right way!
No Matter the Conditions, We are Here for You!
Roofing work can be physically demanding because it involves heavy lifting, as well as climbing, bending, and kneeling, frequently in very hot weather. These guys make this job look easy. Always staying in good spirits regardless of the hot temperature or dangerous conditions being at such great heights. We here at New Look value the hard work and dedication it takes to be in a labor demanding career. Thanks Jose!
New Construction Roofing Project!
Can I just say... We love working with developers! It's a bit like a painting. When you’re able to start with a fresh, new canvas, seems like it's always easier to install the right way, our way. Being in the roofing industry our contractors are experts in replacing existing roofs by tearing off and replacing what was already installed. Along the way we sometimes encounter improper installations, underlayment placed incorrectly and flashing not correctly serving its purpose of keeping water out your home. While doing New Construction Projects we are able to be the first to install things the correct way, which in return last and looks better than any replacement. Being the first really is the best!
Chimney Flashing
I was able to take a couple photos of some preparation for chimney flashing. See Jose! Unfortunately, chimneys are notorious for leaking, and the culprit is almost always the sheet metal flashings. Just ask any roofer. At New Look we suggest always installing a new chimney flashing if it’s missing, rusted through, falling out or completely covered with roofing tar (a typical short-term fix that’s sure to be hiding bigger problems). It’s also a good time to install new flashing when you put on new shingles because you’ll want it to last as long as the new roofing (25 to 40 years).

Our Roofing Contractors Use Only the Best! #OwensCorning
At New Look we take pride in the products we use and offer only the best roofing materials for our clients. We love using Owens Corning products, it offers a 30 year manufactures warranty and the application for our roofing contractors is flawless because of its durability. Check out these photos of our roofing contractors laying Owens Corning 15 LB felt paper prior to shingle placement.
THIS ROOF IS NEARLY TORN OFF AND IT'S ONLY 10AM!
Our New Look roofing contractors were up and ready today. It's not even noon and our contractors have torn off almost all of this existing layer of shingle. Our next step will be to clean debris and start a layer of 15b lb felt paper. After the felt paper we can begin laying the ice guard in all the valleys and start laying starter shingles. It's going to be a long day for these roofers!
Roofing at its best!
Our amazing team installed this full roof replacement in one day using only the best materials... Owen's Corning. This particular client chose Oakridge Artisan Collection, Twilight Black. The color seems to be very poplar as it versatile to any color scheme on a homeowners exterior.
Installing Soffit and Fascia Giving Another New Look
Installing Fascia and Soffit gives this home a new and clean look. Theses architectural elements found along the eave area do more than just add visual interest and give a finished look to your home. They help protect the exterior of your house by keeping out pests like bats, birds and squirrels, and give you a way to disguise ventilation for your attic.
Does Your Roof Need Repair?
It's crazy how a minor repair can cost thousands in the long run if not taken care of quickly and properly. At New Look we take pride in taking care of all the minor repairs and small jobs our customers need to extend the lifetime on their roof. Not everyone can afford a new roof when it may be time for one. We help our customers with the maintenance to withstand as many years as possible.
