Crew replacing roof decking and laying underlayment on a residential home seen from above

Roof Installation in Malvern, AR

New construction, a room addition, a detached shop. Anything that has never had a roof needs the whole system built from the deck up. Based in Arkadelphia and covering Hot Spring County. Insured, bonded, and covered by workers' compensation.

Building Out a Roof Installation in Malvern From the Deck Up

Roof installation in Malvern covers the jobs that are not replacements. There is no old roof to take off and no previous roofer's decisions to work around.

That sounds simpler. It is actually where the most can go wrong. Every layer is being set for the first time. Deck spacing, drip edge, ventilation and flashing all have to be right before a single shingle goes down.

Roofs We Install on Additions, Garages and Shops

Most of our installs are not whole houses. They are the structures that get added onto a property over time.

  • Room additions and enclosed porches
  • Detached garages and carports
  • Shop and pole buildings
  • Sunrooms and covered patios
  • Dormers and second-story additions
  • New builds, working from the builder's schedule

Tying a new roof into an existing one is the part people underestimate. That seam is where the leaks show up in year three, so it gets flashed properly, not caulked.

Framing, Deck and Drip Edge Before Anything Else

The Deck

Sheathing goes down with proper spacing and fastening. Gaps that are too tight buckle in humidity, and gaps that are too wide let shingles sag between rafters.

The Edges

Drip edge goes on at the eaves under the underlayment and at the rakes over it. In that order. Reversed, water runs behind your fascia instead of into the gutter.

The Tie-In

Where new meets old, we cut in step flashing and weave the underlayment. A new roof that dumps water onto an old one is a leak with a delay built in.

Shingle or Metal on a New Structure

Both work here. The choice usually comes down to the building and the pitch.

Asphalt suits houses and additions that need to match an existing roof. We recommend IKO Dynasty shingles, which carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Metal suits shops, pole buildings and low-slope runs where shingles would not hold. It costs more upfront and lasts longer. We lay both options out at the estimate and let you decide.

How a New Install Gets Scheduled

  1. Site visit. We look at the structure, the pitch and the tie-in points.
  2. Written scope. Materials, layers and flashing detail, all in writing.
  3. Coordination. On new builds we work around your framer and your inspector.
  4. Install. Most additions and garages go on in a day.
  5. Final walk. We go over the tie-in and the edges with you before we leave.

Roofing New Buildings on the Edge of the Ouachitas

Malvern sits where the Ouachita Mountains meet the coastal plain. Summers are humid and hot, with July highs near ninety-two degrees. Attic moisture is a bigger enemy here than cold ever is.

So ventilation gets designed into a new roof rather than added later. Intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge, sized to the space underneath.

Properties in Bismarck, Jones Mill and Butterfield sit close enough to the lakes that humidity runs higher still. Those buildings get extra attention at the vents.

    This company sent a sales agent to my very rural lakehouse to give me an estimate. He was very professional, precise, and knowledgeable. Within hours, he sent a quote with a color chart. The price was very reasonable and below what I have read on other research pages. The installation process started within days with the actual owner helping with the install. It was more than just "another" install. The service provided made it feel like a friendship with high standards. They even flowed water through the system to make sure the downspouts cleared the water efficiently and adjusted if needed. Extremely recommend this company. Complete installation on a 2500 sq home took less that 3 hours. Thank you Nate and Steve for a job well done!

    Extended my roof on my old frame house and fixed my persistent leak for good . Got it done quickly to get me out of the recurring downpours we have these days.

    I recently had gutters installed. Where the flexible part went into my french drain was a little crooked. I told him it was good enough and it didn't warrant completely redoing the gutters. He insisted that good enough wasn't good enough. He replaced the whole front gutter again and moved the new one he took down to the back of my house. I would recommend Ark roof and gutters to everyone. He definitely goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are 100% satisfied

    We were referred to Ark R&G. Steve Kalasz contacted us very quickly. Greatly appreciated and he was on property within 2 days. His professionalism and customer care stood out. He was very thorough. Walked around with my husband so everyone was on the same page. He took his time to explain and answer all of our questions. He did not pressure us. We said we would like to think about it after having met a few other company reps. We decided to go with Ark R&G. If I had known better I actually would have thought Steve was part owner of the company that's how well spoken and how he presented himself as part of the team and their commitment to customer satisfaction 5☆

    I found Ark Roofing’s business card at Bakes by Bree and was delighted to see they were local. Called them the same day I found out I had roof damage and Nate immediately came by to check on it. He explained everything thoroughly and in a way anybody could understand. He definitely knows his stuff!!! As soon as I found out I was missing a ridge vent, I called them to schedule an appointment and they were getting it done the next day! 10/10 recommend them for all your roofing needs!! Will be using the in the future!

    When we started looking at roof repairs/roof replacement I contacted 3 companies to do an inspection and give me a quote. We ended up going with Ark Roofing and Gutters LLC because Nate was personable, knowledgeable, quick to answer questions/provide support and was not a pushy salesman. He gave us the facts and allowed us to make the decision on having a repair vs a replacement based on our goals, wants and needs. The whole process from initial phone call to completing the roof replacement was very fast and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this company.

    Nate took care of me from day one until the job was done to my satisfaction. It looks so great, I can't stop praising God for sending him our way. If you need a new roof, speak to Nate, the owner of Ark Roofing and Gutters LLC. He will give you an honest quote, a quality job and a roof that will look great and protect your home for years to come.

    Nate and his crew did a fantastic job removing the old gutters and installing the new 6" seamless gutters. Also, adding hydroflo guards to block pine needles and other debris. A section of fascia was also well repaired. I was pleased with the professional work ethic and friendliness. I highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you

Roof Installation in Malvern FAQs

What is the difference between a roof installation and a replacement?

An installation puts a roof on a structure that never had one. A replacement takes an old roof off first.

Can you roof my addition so it matches the house?

Usually yes, if the existing roof is under about fifteen years old. Older shingle colors go out of production.

Do you work with builders on new construction?

Yes. We schedule around the framing and dry-in dates the builder gives us.

Will you roof a pole barn or metal shop building?

Yes. Metal panel systems on shops and pole buildings are regular work for us.

How long does an addition roof take?

Most take a single day once materials are on site.

Who pulls the permit on new construction?

On a new build the general contractor usually handles it. On a standalone addition we can take care of it. Ask us and we will tell you which applies.

Does a new roof come with a warranty?

Yes. Our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer warranty on the material you pick.

Can you install gutters at the same time?

Yes, and it is cheaper to do it in one trip than to bring a crew back.
