The details behind the decision
Three things to get clear on.
Trade coordination
Discuss who handles penetrations, adjacent materials, access, and changes that affect the roofing work.
A useful closeout
Retain product selections, applicable warranty information, and project records with the building documents.
The construction conversation
Bring the roofer into the plans — before the handoff gets expensive.
New construction roofing works best when product, roof geometry, penetrations, and trade interfaces are settled while plans can still change. Brehm provides new-construction roofing with dual Florida licenses CCC1336098 and CRC1334991, insurance and workers’ comp for permits, and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred options on qualifying systems.
Share current plans, material selections, access, and a single builder point of contact. Dry-in details matter: underlayment, drip edge, valleys, wall/dormer flashing, then field shingles, pipe boots, and hip/ridge when the deck is ready. Keep product choices and warranty documents with the building closeout package.
About 94% of Brehm projects finish within 36 hours of crew arrival, with a bilingual crew leader, site supervisor, and CompanyCam documentation on the job. Call 352-664-8585 to coordinate roofing on your build.

Before you decide
New construction roofing questions.
Useful answers to start with. Your property and proposed scope make the conversation specific.
Talk with BrehmWhen should I involve the roofing contractor?
Bring the roofing discussion into the project while design and material decisions can still be coordinated. Share current plans and ask which choices affect the roof assembly, interfaces, and the construction sequence.
Can I change the roofing material during the build?
Discuss a proposed change with the project team before ordering or installing materials. A different system can affect detailing, supporting requirements, selections, and schedule. Confirm the revised scope and approvals where applicable.
What information does Brehm need from my builder?
Current plans, roof details, material selections, site access, trade coordination, and a clear point of contact make the conversation more productive. Share revisions that affect the roof rather than relying on an earlier drawing.
Is new construction roofing the same as a replacement?
A new construction project starts with the planned building assembly and coordination among trades. Replacement also involves evaluating and removing or addressing existing roofing conditions. Both need a scope suited to the actual project.
Planning tools
Where is the build today?
Choose a starting point and see which questions belong in the conversation.
Your starting point
Resolve the roof decisions before the handoff.
Share the roof design, architectural goals, and relevant plan information. Material choice, roof geometry, ventilation, and transitions should be considered together.
Bring this questionWhich roofing decisions need to be resolved before the next construction phase?
Your starting point
Give every trade a clear point of contact.
Roof work connects with framing, wall transitions, penetrations, and other project details. Identify who coordinates those interfaces and communicates schedule changes.
Bring this questionWho owns each handoff between the roofer, builder, and other trades?
Your starting point
Check selections and site readiness.
