How long will it take to install a new roof?
Depending on the size of your roof and the repairs that need to be made underneath the roof, most roofs can be completed within 1-2 days.
We've chosen you as our roofer, what happens on install day?Â
The morning of install, project managers are on site. Crew shows up with a dump trailer and puts down landscape protection material. Project management and crew will safely relocate furniture or other items that may be in danger of damage during tear-off. The crew will get onto the roof and begin tear-off. During tear-off, the project manager is closely supervising in order to assess any damage to decking or other underlying issues hidden beneath the roof covering. Once the roof is removed down to the decking, the crew on the ground continue to clean up while new material is loaded onto the roof. The roof install begins with the project manager on site to address any questions from the homeowner, run for materials (and lunch), and work with the crew if challenges arise. Once the roof is complete, the project manager and the homeowner do a final walkthrough around the home to be sure everyone is happy.Â
