When should you start planning for a new roof? How long will it take to get a new roof after you get a quote? These are common questions that we hear when clients schedule roof estimates. Let’s explore how long roof installation takes so that you can plan accordingly.
The Typical Timeline for Roof Installation
The actual roof replacement only takes a day or two for most homes. The timeline between the estimate and the installation will depend on the time of year and the roofers’ availability. In many cases, the roofers will drop off the materials the day before the installation so that they can start early in the morning the following day. This is especially true in the summer months to avoid the heat in the afternoon.
Factors That May Delay Your Roof Installation
There are many factors that could impact how long it takes to install your new roof. Weather concerns are the most unpredictable factors, but most roofers try to stay on top of potential weather delays. If there is a high probability of storms, they may forewarn clients on the schedule that there could be a delay with their installation. If you work with us here at McLean Roofing and Siding, you can rest assured that you’ll get solid communication from start to finish.
If you choose an uncommon style or color for your roof shingle, that may affect the timeline. It will depend on how readily available those materials are or how quickly they can be shipped to your roofing company.
If your roof replacement is part of an insurance claim, the insurance company will play a large part in the schedule. Some companies are quick to cooperate and approve claims, while others have a lengthy process to go through. The good news is that we are here to help through every step, no matter what!
The pitch of your roof and overhanging trees could further complicate installation, which may turn a two-day job into a four-day job. Your roofer can give you an estimate once they see your property in person, and they can pinpoint any obstacles you may need to address.
