When it comes to roofing installation, understanding the timeline can help you manage your expectations and plan accordingly. The area size and complexity of your roof will be used to determine the project timeline, which will be discussed before any installation begins.

What to Expect During a Roofing Installation

With that in mind, let’s break down the ideal roofing installation timeline and what you should anticipate at each stage:

  • Pre-Installation Preparations. You will need to choose which shingle style and color you prefer for your roof. Once you are satisfied with the estimate, the materials will be delivered to your home and your local roofing contractors will get to work.
  • Initial Setup and Property Protection. On the first day of installation, the roofing crew will arrive and start to set up. Protecting your property is a top priority, so they’ll cover landscaping, move patio furniture, and ensure vehicles are out of the way.
  • Removing the Old Roof. Once everything is set up, the crew will begin tearing off the old roof. Some crew members will focus on tearing off the old materials, while others will handle debris cleanup to keep the site organized.
  • Installing the New Roof. With the old roof removed, it’s time to install the new one. For asphalt shingles, this process is relatively quick and can often be completed in a day or two.
  • Final Touches and Cleanup. The final days are dedicated to finishing touches and thorough cleanup. This includes installing gutters, inspecting the roof for any missed spots, and ensuring all debris is removed from the property. A final walkthrough is done with you to ensure everything meets your expectations and address any concerns you might have.
