New roof installation differs from replacement in one key way — there is no existing roof to tear off. The work happens on bare decking as part of new construction, additions, garage builds, or major remodeling projects. The fundamentals stay the same — proper underlayment, code-compliant flashing, balanced ventilation, and full warranty registration — but the project sequence and coordination with other trades require specific experience.
Keller Exteriors handles new roof installation across the Tulsa market on residential additions, new construction homes, detached garages, sunroom builds, and any project where new decking needs a complete roofing system. When the project is a tear-off, see Roof Replacement, and for material-specific options check Asphalt Shingle Roofing or Metal Roofing. Call (918) 324-4767 to coordinate scheduling around your build timeline.
The crew verifies decking quality, fastener spacing, and any membrane or drainage requirements before underlayment starts.
Drip edge metal goes along the eaves and rakes, providing a clean termination point for the underlayment and shingle layers.
Self-adhered ice and water membrane in valleys, around penetrations, and along eaves where Tulsa winter ice can back up under shingles.
Modern synthetic underlayment installs across the rest of the deck, providing a secondary water barrier under the shingles.
Wherever the roof meets a wall, chimney, or other vertical surface, proper step flashing goes in before the shingle courses meet the wall.
Architectural or impact-resistant shingles install in the manufacturer-specified pattern to maintain warranty coverage.
Plumbing vent boots, ridge cap shingles, and ridge vent or other ventilation systems complete the install.
Crews collect debris, run magnetic sweepers, and walk the homeowner or builder through the finished roof.

New construction roof installation runs cleaner when the roofing contractor coordinates directly with the builder or GC on the project schedule, penetration locations, and material delivery timing. Keller Exteriors regularly works alongside Tulsa-area homebuilders, custom builders, and remodeling contractors on full-scope new builds and additions.
Standard coordination includes pre-build site meetings to review roof line, ventilation, and penetration plans, scheduling around framing completion and prior to siding install, materials delivery timed to project phase, and final walkthrough with the builder before close-out inspection. Direct GC billing and payment terms are also available on commercial-style new builds.
Tulsa-area new construction varies significantly by sub-market. Production builders in fast-growing communities like Owasso, Bixby, and Jenks typically install architectural shingle roofs on standardized floor plans, with the roofing crew coordinating tightly with framing and siding subs. Custom builds in Stone Canyon, Forest Ridge, and rural areas of the metro often involve premium materials, complex roof lines, and multiple skylights or dormers requiring specialized install experience. Additions and ADU projects in established neighborhoods bring their own challenges around tying new roof structure into existing roofs cleanly without creating leak paths at the transition.
Our crews work across all of these scenarios every month. That breadth gives us familiarity with builder schedules, common transition details, and the specific material and ventilation choices that hold up best in each Tulsa-area sub-market.
