What Happens Before, During and After a Roof Replacement?

Roof replacement projects are not unlike kitchen or bathroom remodeling projects. Contractors will always follow a more or less well-defined timeline to get the job done with as little disturbance to your daily routine and schedule. Understanding what to expect during this time should help you make better decisions when setting up your appointments.

Let our roofing experts at Northwest Construction walk you through the before, during and after stages of a typical roof replacement job so you can avoid surprises during this crucial project.

3 to 7 Days Before Installation

You can expect your roofing company to deliver a dumpster to hold all the debris that might come from the installation. As a certified GAF MasterElite® contractor, Northwest Construction participates in recycling old shingles. This means we may bring a second dumpster to hold everything recyclable during the job. A day or two before installation day, our roofers may also begin preparations such as covering some sections of your siding and windows to protect them from getting damaged while they work on your roof.

Installation Day

Professional roofers should have everything set up before beginning the roof replacement. During this time, you can help make the process run smoother by keeping your pets away from the work area, covering up valuable lawn ornaments or garden plants and giving the contractors easy access to the site. Once the roof is completed, the contractors will do a final walk-through with you. Use this opportunity to check if they have done everything in the contract.

1 to 3 Days After the Installation

Roof replacement jobs begin and end like a bathroom or kitchen remodeling, or any other home improvement projects. All the leftover debris and trash will be gathered up and a representative will meet with you for a final review and to collect any outstanding payments.
