Building From the Roofline Down

New Home Construction in Greenville, Texas

When you build a new home in Greenville, the roofing system should be designed into the structure from the beginning rather than selected as an afterthought once framing is complete. You need a builder who understands how roof pitch, ventilation, material choice, and flashing details affect long-term protection and energy performance. Sickels Roofing and Construction, LLC manages ground-up home construction with a roofing-first approach, coordinating all trades and ensuring the exterior shell is built to support the roofing system you need.

New home builds include site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing installation, exterior finishes, and interior completion. The roofing system is planned during the design phase to accommodate ridge vents, proper drainage, and material compatibility with siding and soffit. One team manages timelines, quality control, and communication from start to finish, and custom layouts, materials, and finishes are tailored to your needs. This service is suited for homeowners in Greenville who want a single trusted builder responsible for the entire project.

How the Build Progresses

Once the design is finalized and permits are secured, the team begins site work in Greenville by clearing the lot, staking the foundation, and preparing utilities. Foundation forms are set, concrete is poured, and curing time is scheduled before framing begins. Framing includes roof trusses or rafters designed to match the pitch, overhang, and ventilation strategy outlined in the plans.

After framing is completed, the roofing system is installed with underlayment, shingles or metal panels, flashing, and vents before rough-in work begins inside. You will see the structure weathered in and protected from rain, which allows electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades to proceed without delays. Exterior finishes such as siding, soffit, fascia, and gutters are added next, followed by insulation, drywall, and interior finishes.

The builder coordinates inspections at each phase and ensures work meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications. Services include material selection assistance, budget tracking, and change order management. The team does not provide landscaping, pool installation, or detached structures, but coordinates with specialty trades when those elements are part of the project plan.

Building a Home Brings Up Real Questions

New home construction involves planning, timelines, and decisions that affect every part of the finished structure. These questions cover what homeowners typically want to understand before committing to a build.

How long does it take to build a new home?
Most single-family homes in Greenville are completed in four to seven months from groundbreaking to final walkthrough, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Permitting and design time is additional.
What happens if I want to change the plan during construction?
Changes are documented in a written change order that includes cost adjustments and timeline impact. The team reviews the request and provides a revised schedule before proceeding with the modification.
Can I choose my own fixtures and finishes?
Yes. The builder provides allowances for items such as flooring, countertops, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, and you select the specific products within those budgets. Upgrades outside the allowance are billed separately.
What if the roofing system needs to be larger than expected?
The roofing system is sized during the design phase based on roof area, pitch, and material type. If changes occur during framing, the builder provides an updated estimate before proceeding.
Who handles inspections and code compliance?
The builder schedules all required inspections with the local building department and ensures that each phase meets code before the next phase begins. You receive copies of all inspection reports.
