FAQs About New Roof Installation

Roof installations have numerous factors that determine how long it will take to complete the project. The size of the home and roofing crew will be the biggest factors that determine the speed of a roof installation.

If you have an average-sized home, you can expect a roof to be installed within three to five days. However, some highly skilled roofing crews can install a new roof within one day for a homeowner.

If you have an upcoming roof installation project, there are some steps you must take to protect your belongings. The falling shingles and vibrations from power tools can damage items if you aren’t careful.

In preparation for a new roof installation, you should remove wall decorations, move your patio furniture, and remove satellite dishes. Homeowners should also move their vehicles to prevent roofing materials from falling on them.
