What to Expect During a Roof Replacement

Before work starts

Confirm scope, material, delivery location, access, parking, landscaping protection, attic concerns, pets and household schedules. Ask how weather delays are communicated.

Removal and deck evaluation

When the old covering is removed, previously hidden deck conditions may become visible. The proposal should explain how needed deck replacement is approved and priced.

Water-management details

Underlayment, roof edges, valleys, flashing and penetrations are installed or rebuilt according to the selected system and project requirements.

Roof covering installation

Shingles, panels or other roofing are installed with the required fastening pattern, layout and accessory components.

Cleanup and final review

Debris removal, ground cleanup and a final walkthrough should be part of the closeout conversation. Keep written warranty and product documentation provided for the actual project.
