RIAANS DESIGNS – Where Roofing is a Pleasure

A strong, reliable roof is essential for every home, especially in the South, where weather conditions can be unpredictable. At RIAANS DESIGNS, we specialize in high-quality roofing solutions, ensuring durability, style, and expert craftsmanship. Our professional team takes pride in delivering seamless roof replacements, guiding homeowners through every step of the process.

The Roofing Process: Step by Step

Inspection and Damage Assessment: Before we begin we conduct a thorough inspection to determine whether a repair or full replacement is necessary. Once the damage is assessed, homeowners can choose their preferred roofing color and style, complete the necessary paperwork, and schedule the installation date.

To ensure a smooth process, we take several preparatory steps:

• Roofing materials are delivered to your home ahead of time.
• Our project manager and crew carefully protect your home, grass, and flower beds with tarps and covers.
• We advise homeowners to move their vehicles out of the driveway.
• Designated debris drop zones are set up to collect old roofing materials, and a mobile dumpster is placed on-site.
• Our team is equipped with safety harnesses and ropes to ensure a secure working environment as we remove old shingles, felt underlayment, and any rotting decking.

Top-Tier Roofing Products: Once the old roof is stripped away, we clean out debris from your gutters and remove any existing flashing. We only use the highest quality roofing materials, including:

• GAF Timberline Lifetime HDZ Shingles featuring LayerLock Technology.
• Stain Guard Plus Algae Protection for long-term durability.
• Reinforced nailing zones to keep shingles securely in place.
• Ice and water membranes to waterproof valleys and eaves.
• Staggered shingle installation to prevent wind damage.

As Riaan Garforth-Venter, owner of RIAANS DESIGNS, explains: “We ensure a watertight fit by re-nailing the roof deck and taping all seams. We take special care in the valleys, where leaks are most common, by overlapping shingles properly and preventing any gaps. Our goal is a strong, leak-free roof that stands up to the toughest conditions.”

Additionally, we install:

• Synthetic underlayment across the entire roof for extra protection.
• 4-inch metal rake and drip edges along the eaves and slopes.
• New roof pipe penetrations with durable boots.
• Chimney and siding flashing for a tight seal.
• Hip and ridge vents with ridge caps to provide optimal roof ventilation.
