A well-managed roof replacement includes preconstruction planning, property protection, tear-off, deck review, complete system installation, magnetic cleanup and a documented final walkthrough. Timing varies with roof size, complexity, weather, material availability and approved scope.
Before installation
- Confirm the construction scope and selected roof system
- Coordinate material delivery and access
- Move vehicles and protect fragile exterior items
- Discuss pets, gates, landscaping and interior vibration
- Identify special roof details before tear-off
Tear-off and deck review
Removing the existing covering exposes the roof deck. The crew can then identify accessible conditions that were hidden before construction. Any required deck work should be documented and addressed before the new system is installed.
Installing the complete system
The installation sequence may include underlayment, water-shedding details, edge components, valleys, ventilation, flashings, penetrations and the selected roof covering. Details vary by system, manufacturer instructions and the home itself.
Cleanup and final walkthrough
A professional closeout includes debris removal, magnetic nail collection, review of completed details and delivery of applicable product and workmanship information. Homeowners should keep those records with their property documents.
How long will it take?
There is no honest one-size-fits-all answer. A straightforward home may move quickly, while a large estate roof with multiple slopes, specialty materials or extensive detail work requires more time. REMCO sets expectations after reviewing the property and system.
