Whenever our roof installation crew at Southern Exteriors Roofing meets with a new client, we’re often asked the same question: “How long will the roof installation process take?” Before we can assess the property and ask the property owner what kind of roof they’d like us to install, it’s impossible to give them a clear answer. For instance, a roof installation project can take as little as a day to nearly two weeks, depending on the weather conditions, the complexity of the roof, the type of roofing materials that need to be installed, and several other factors.
In this article, our team would like to go over some common things that can affect the timing of our roof installation projects to give you a better understanding of our process. With this information, you should have a better idea of what to expect before contacting us to begin the roof installation project.
One of the key factors that can impact our timeline is the shape and size of your roof. If you have a low-slope roof without many variations for windows or other features, it’ll be easier for us to remove the old roofing materials and install the new ones. Similarly, bigger houses are likely to take longer than a small home.
Another key factor to determining how long a roof installation will take is the roof material. Asphalt shingles are light and relatively simple to install, but heavier and bulkier materials, such as metal or tile, can take our team longer to work with.
Along with these factors, there are also considerations for ease of access to your roof, as well as the weather conditions at the time. Each of these factors will help determine how fast or slow your roof installation job will take.
