Installing a brand new roof might seem like a simple task, but it’s usually anything but that. You can get the job done on your own in some cases, if your home is small or if you just have a lot of experience and a few extra workers to help you out. However, most experts recommend that you at least call in a professional for information and to do a quick roof inspection, if you want the project to go quickly and smoothly.
The first thing to consider is the extent of the work that will be required. Experienced Priority Roofs professionals suggest that you get an initial roof inspection and make sure your roofer informs you about the following issues:
- Whether there are multiple layers of roofing that have to be torn down;
- Whether your roof requires structural repairs before the new roof can be installed;
- How long the standard installation process of your new roof should take considering the specific products and upgrades that need to be added.
In most cases, 1-2 days will be enough for a standard sized roof to be stripped down and the new roof to be installed in its place. However, you can expect as long as 7-10 days if the project involves certain complications, if the weather is bad, or if the home is larger and there are a lot of issues to be sorted out.
