Production roofing for tract and subdivision builders — reliable dry-in dates, consistent crews across the community, and fast punch-list turnaround. [Request Inspection](https://cmac-new-concept.vercel.app/quote) ## New Construction & Tract Homes, clearly scoped. CMAC’s builder services division does production roofing for tract and subdivision homebuilders. Our expertly built tract homes combine long-lasting quality with modern, efficient designs — and from the superintendent’s side of it, what that has to translate into is a roof that is dried in on the date you were promised, built the same way on lot 14 as it was on lot 3, and closed out without a punch list that follows you to walkthrough. ## Schedule is the product On a production build, the roof is not a standalone trade — it is a gate. Framing and sheathing finish, the roof dries in, and only then can mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in proceed with any protection over their work, insulation follow, and drywall be scheduled. A roofer who misses dry-in by four days does not cost you four days of roofing, they cost you four days on every trade stacked behind it, times however many lots are moving at once. That is why sequencing gets set against your framing calendar rather than against ours: dry-in immediately behind sheathing and cornice, then final roof after the roof penetrations are set. Plumbing vents, range and dryer terminations, bath fan exhausts, and HVAC flues all pass through the deck, and every one of them set after the final roof is a hole cut in a finished system. ## Consistency across a subdivision A community is not twenty roofs, it is one roof repeated with three or four plan types and a color palette. Consistency comes from putting the same crews on the same community for its duration, so the details — valley treatment, step flashing at the garage return, ridge vent runs, cap layout at the hip intersections — get built the same way on every lot. It also means fewer plan-specific questions land on your desk after the first few homes. Material staging follows the same logic. Loads are scheduled to the lot and the day rather than dropped early, which keeps drives clear for concrete and framing deliveries and keeps material off unfinished lots where it becomes a weather and theft problem. ## Punch list and closeout Punch items on roofing are usually small and always urgent, because they sit between you and a closing date: a scuffed cap, a vent boot to reset after the plumber’s adjustment, a section of ridge vent to re-secure, debris or fasteners missed in a final sweep. Those get turned quickly rather than batched, because a punch list that waits for a convenient trip is a punch list that delays a close. Closeout also includes the handoff to the eventual homeowner: what system went on the house, what the manufacturer coverage is, and who to call. Getting that documented at closing is what keeps a year-two service call from turning into a warranty dispute between you and a homeowner who does not know what is on their roof. ## After your builder warranty expires CMAC continues to service the homes it roofs after the builder’s warranty period ends. Homeowners can register their roof directly with CMAC, which means when a storm rolls through the community three years after your last close, they call a contractor who already has the specification for their house — and the call does not come back to your warranty department. ## What builders get CMAC is veteran-owned, GAF Master Elite® certified, a GAF President’s Club award winner, an NRCA member, and rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. Builder work runs across all five states CMAC serves — Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Georgia — from seven markets, so a builder operating in more than one metro deals with one roofer instead of four. ## What new construction & tract homes includes ### Dry-in dates that hold Sequenced against your framing calendar so the trades stacked behind the roof are not waiting on it. ### Consistent crews The same crews stay on a community for its duration, so the details are built the same way on every lot. ### Penetration coordination Final roof follows the plumbing, exhaust, and HVAC penetrations rather than getting cut open after the fact. ### Fast punch turnaround Roofing punch items get worked as they come in, not batched until a convenient trip. ### Documented warranty handoff The system, the coverage, and the contact go to the homeowner at closing. ### Multi-market coverage One roofing partner across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Georgia. ## How CMAC handles new construction & tract homes 1. **Community setup** — Plan types, roof specs, color palette, and lot sequencing are set once so every subsequent lot runs from the same sheet. 2. **Dry-in behind framing** — Underlayment and edge metal go on immediately after sheathing and cornice so the interior trades can start on schedule. 3. **Final roof after penetrations** — The finished roof goes on once plumbing vents, exhaust terminations, and flues are set, so nothing is cut into a completed system. 4. **Punch and closeout** — Roofing punch items are cleared ahead of walkthrough, and the roof is swept and re-swept for fasteners. 5. **Warranty handoff** — The homeowner receives the system documentation and can register the roof with CMAC for service after the builder warranty ends. ## Systems and manufacturers - **GAF** — Master Elite® certified — full shingle system - **CertainTeed** — Asphalt shingle systems - **Atlas** — Asphalt shingle systems - **TAMKO** — Asphalt shingle systems ## New Construction & Tract Homes questions ### What does GAF Master Elite® mean? GAF awards Master Elite® status to a small fraction of roofing contractors in North America. It requires proof of proper licensing, adequate insurance, and a sustained record of quality installations and customer satisfaction. Practically, it means CMAC can offer enhanced GAF system warranties that non-certified contractors cannot, and that GAF has independently vetted the company. CMAC is also a GAF President’s Club award winner. ### Do you charge for an inspection or an estimate? No. The inspection, the damage documentation including drone photography, and the written estimate are all free and carry no obligation. If the roof does not need work, we will tell you that. ### Will CMAC work with my insurance company? CMAC can document visible damage, provide a contractor report, and attend the carrier’s inspection to explain the proposed repair scope. CMAC is a contractor, not a public adjuster or law firm, and does not interpret policy coverage or represent a policyholder in a coverage dispute. ### How do I know whether to repair or replace my roof? Age relative to the material’s service life, how widespread the damage is, and whether you have had more than one leak are the deciding factors. Isolated damage on a roof with years of life left is a repair. Widespread granule loss, exposed mat, multiple leak points, or hail bruising across every slope generally means replacement, because patching a failing system just moves the next leak somewhere else. An inspection settles it. ### How long does a roof replacement take? Most residential asphalt shingle replacements are a one to two day job once materials are on site. Tile, slate, metal, and complex roof geometry take longer. Weather, decking replacement discovered after tear-off, and permit or HOA requirements are the usual reasons a schedule moves. ### My roof looks fine from the ground. Could it still be damaged? Frequently, yes. Hail bruises the mat underneath the granule surface, and that bruising is often invisible from the ground and sometimes hard to see from a ladder. It shortens the roof’s life and creates the leaks you will discover a year or two later, after your claim window has closed. That is why documented post-storm inspections matter. ## Related services - [Roofing](https://cmac-new-concept.vercel.app/services/roofing) - [Custom Homes](https://cmac-new-concept.vercel.app/services/roofing/custom-homes) - [Multi-Family & Property Management](https://cmac-new-concept.vercel.app/services/roofing/multi-family) - [Roof Replacement](https://cmac-new-concept.vercel.app/services/roofing/roof-replacement) ## Start with a free inspection.
