A Roofers Dawn to Dusk Working Above Portland
Morning Preparations
The day begins early at 5:30 AM. As I pull into CML Roofing and Contracting’s yard, the Maine sunrise is just beginning to paint the sky. After our morning safety briefing, we load up the truck with all the essentials – architectural shingles, underlayment, flashing, and our trusted tools.
First Job: Siding Assessment
Our first stop takes us to South Portland, where a homeowner needs an evaluation of their aging vinyl siding. The coastal Maine weather can be particularly harsh on exterior materials, making regular inspections crucial. We document the wear patterns and provide detailed recommendations.
Mid-Morning: Roof Repair
By 9:00 AM, we’re in Westbrook tackling an emergency repair. Recent wind damage left a vulnerable spot that needs immediate attention. Working efficiently while maintaining safety protocols is our top priority, especially on steep-pitched roofs.
Afternoon: New Installation
The bulk of our day is spent in Scarborough on a full roof installation project. It’s satisfying work that requires:
– Careful removal of old materials
– Thorough deck inspection
– Precise underlayment application
– Expert shingle installation
End of Day
As the sun sets over Falmouth, we clean up our final worksite, ensuring everything is spotless. The satisfaction of providing quality craftsmanship to another Maine home makes the physical demands of our work worthwhile.
Quality roofing isn’t just about materials – it’s about attention to detail, professional expertise, and dedication to protecting Maine homes from our diverse weather conditions.
