The duration of a roofing project depends on factors like the size and type of roof, weather conditions, and the complexity of the job. Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days. Larger or more complex projects can take up to a week or more. Your roofer will provide an estimated timeline during the initial consultation.
The best roofing material depends on your budget, local climate, and aesthetic preferences. Asphalt shingles are affordable and versatile, metal roofs are durable and energy-efficient, while tile and slate offer long-lasting, high-end options. Your roofer can guide you in selecting a material that suits your needs.
To prepare, clear your driveway and move vehicles to provide workspace for the crew. Remove or secure fragile items from walls and shelves as vibrations might cause them to shift. Protect landscaping and outdoor furniture, and ensure pets and children are kept safely away from the work area.
If unexpected damage, such as rotting wood or structural issues, is discovered during the project, your roofer should notify you immediately and provide an estimate for additional repairs. It’s a good idea to set aside a contingency budget for unforeseen issues.
