Questions to Ask Before Starting Your Roof Replacement

To ensure a successful roof replacement, you must equip yourself with the right information and know what to expect during the project. Furthermore, be sure you’re working with a dependable roofing contractor who can guide you through the entire process and answer the following questions.

How Long Will the Roof Replacement Take?

Roof replacement should take at least one to three days if your contractor is working on an average-sized property. The process could take longer if the roof is bigger or if your roofer discovers some underlying issues that need to be fixed first. For example, if your roof structures are in poor condition, the issue must be addressed before your contractor can install the new roof. 

Can I Stay at Home During Roof Replacement?

You can stay at home during roof repair or replacement. Typically, contractors have safety measures in place to minimize hazards for the occupants. Make sure to communicate with your roofer so that you’ll know what to expect and watch out for during the project. This is also a good opportunity to learn about their process and safety procedures. If you have pets or young children, it would be best to take them somewhere else to ensure their comfort and safety.

What Roofs Can You Install?

Some roofers specialize in a specific roofing material, while others are trained to install various roofing systems. It’s also a good idea to choose contractors that are certified by roofing manufacturers. This means the roofers went through the proper training to learn the correct techniques for installing the roofing systems being offered by the manufacturers.
