An Expert General Contracting contractor will visit and survey the home. The contractor will take notes and tell you if this arrangement is possible. If adjustments are necessary, we will inform you.
Then, we’ll apply for the necessary permits. If the Philadelphia license and inspections grant them, the contractor will gather materials and tools and assemble our team of deck builders in Montgomery County, PA, for your rooftop deck. If it’s declined, we will discuss alternatives. Examples are building a deck with a cover (awning, pergola, etc.) or a second-story deck with a roof.
You meet with the design team to discuss every detail about your residential rooftop deck while the contractor builds a blueprint to prep the roof. The next step is taking the slanted roof parts off so the flat part or ceiling is visible. We strengthen it to become the house roof and the foundation for the rooftop deck. A rough sketch of the remaining process is this:
- We install joists on a raised level above the roof floor. They are immovable beams that absorb and distribute the stress load to protect the roof floor from taking it. If the roof floor did absorb it, it would damage it.
- The builders build the deck floor on top of the joists with a durable, high-quality material of your choice.
- The team waterproofs the deck material to protect it from rain, snow, and ice.
- They add the finishing touches based on your design style on the blueprint.
- The team inspects the residential area once more.
