A Typical Residential Roof Replacement Timeline

Replacing your old roof can greatly improve not only the appearance of your home but also its resale value. Even if you are not looking to resell, it is never a bad idea to replace an old roof, especially if it has significant damage. If it is your first time replacing your roof, you may be a little worried about how things will go, and understandably so. A roof replacement is a major investment in time and money, after all. 

In today’s post, trusted residential and commercial roofing contractors Great Lakes Roofing and Siding tells you exactly what to expect when it comes to a typical roof replacement.

A Few Days Before The Installation

After everything is agreed upon and you have signed your contract, you can expect your roofing materials to be delivered to your home a few days before the actual work begins. Talk to your contractor about when to expect the delivery so you will have ample time to prepare a space to store your roofing materials.

During Installation

Once all the materials are at your home the actual installation can start. A typical roof replacement by experienced residential roofing contractors will usually only take between one to three days for an average-sized home. During this time, it might be wise to consider relocating pets temporarily as a roof replacement can be stressful to our furry friends. 

The Last Day

On the final workday, your roofer will usually do a final walkthrough with you.  This is to make sure that everything is to your satisfaction. If, for whatever reason, you are not happy with some aspects of the work, be sure to let your roofer know so they can address the issue.

If you are looking for reputable residential and industrial roofing contractors then you’ve come to the right place.
