New construction means we start with a clean deck and build the roofing system properly from the first layer. Mount Desert Roofing & Maintenance has installed new roofs on hundreds of new builds across Mount Desert, from custom homes to spec builds, from room additions to detached structures.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Plan Review & Consultation
We analyze your plans for pitch, square footage, ventilation needs, and code compliance. You get a detailed proposal with material specs, timeline, and fixed pricing before any work begins.
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 Mount Desert 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.
Final Inspection
Final quality check against manufacturer installation requirements. Building inspection coordinated through our Mount Desert office. Warranty registered directly with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed.

About Our Mount Desert New Roof Installation Services
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements per IRC R806 based on your attic square footage. Balanced ventilation (soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust) keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter, extending roof life and reducing energy costs.
New roof pricing depends on material choice, roof size, and pitch. Architectural shingles in Mount Desert run $350-$550 per square installed. Standing seam metal is $12-$22 per square foot. We provide detailed proposals with exact pricing for your specific project.
