New construction means we start with a clean deck and build the roofing system properly from the first layer. Dorchester Roofing & Maintenance has installed new roofs on hundreds of new builds across Dorchester, from custom homes to spec builds, from room additions to detached structures.
We install to manufacturer specifications and local Dorchester building codes. That means proper underlayment per ASTM standards, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, correct nailing patterns, and ventilation sized to the space. Every component documented for your warranty registration and building inspection.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Project Planning
We review your building plans, discuss material options, and calculate ventilation requirements. Roof pitch, attic space, local code amendments, and your aesthetic preferences all factor into the recommendation.
Pre-Installation Setup
All materials verified against your approved proposal. Color, brand, quantity, everything double-checked before install day. No substitutions without your approval.
Professional Installation
Our Dorchester crew installs every layer to manufacturer specifications: underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter strip, field material, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation. Every fastener placed per the manufacturer nailing schedule.
Inspection & Warranty
After installation: quality inspection, building department sign-off, manufacturer warranty registration, and cleanup. Your new roof is warranted from the day it passes inspection.

Builder Coordination
We work directly with your GC on scheduling, staging, and inspections. On-time delivery and clean work that doesn't slow down the rest of the build.
Code Compliance
Every installation meets IRC building code and local Dorchester amendments. Proper underlayment, ice barrier, and fastener patterns documented for inspection.
Ventilation Design
