Knowing what to expect during roof replacement reduces stress and helps you prepare. Here's a detailed day-by-day timeline.
Pre-Project Preparation
Before work begins, we deliver materials and set up equipment. You should clear driveways and protect valuables in your attic.
Day 1: Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We remove old roofing and inspect the deck. Any necessary deck repairs are completed. This is typically the noisiest day.
Day 2: Underlayment and Starter Strips
We install underlayment, ice and water shield, and starter strips. These components are crucial for leak prevention.
Day 3: Shingle Installation
Main shingle installation begins. Most residential roofs are completed in one to two days of shingle installation.
Day 4: Ridge Caps and Flashing
We install ridge caps, complete flashing work, and address detail areas. Quality finishing work is crucial.
Final Day: Cleanup and Inspection
Thorough cleanup includes magnetic sweeps for nails. We conduct final inspection and walk through the project with you.
Weather Delays
Rain or severe weather can delay projects. We'll keep you informed of any schedule changes.
Your Roofing Timeline
Most residential roofs are completed in 2-5 days. We provide specific timelines during your consultation.
