Residential Roofing

What is a Generic Roof?

The building department does not mandate that a roofing contractor use brand name materials, only that the materials meet the minimum requirements of that municipality. If a contractor is not brand specific on all material used they will often use the cheapest material they can find resulting in a cheap roof or (Generic Roof).

New Era Roofing is proud to be a GAF Master Elite Contractor. After installing numerous GAF shingle roof systems, we have quickly moved to the Master Elite Status, allowing us to offer our clients the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty on all our shingle roof systems.

New Era Roofing installs the Tamko Tile Underlayment Roof System, starting with an optional 6” secondary water barrier to all the seams in the plywood. This option is installed for added protection against a hurricane. If wind damage occurs to the roof, water will take the path of least resistance, that being the seams in the plywood. By installing the Tamko Moisture Wrap, self-adhering water barrier directly to the plywood decking you eliminate that path of water entry, it also may entitle the client to a greater discount on their homeowner’s insurance. The second layer of roof material is Tamko ASTM #30 roof felt, mechanically fastened to the Florida Building Code. The Final layer is a Tamko ASTM #90 tile underlayment set in hot asphalt.
