Ask Roofstar: How Long Does Roof Installation Take?

8 months ago

If you think you may need a roof replacement, one of the things on your mind is probably how long the process will take. Knowing how long it will take to get your roof finished is important, so that you can plan around it and make sure you and your family are inconvenienced as little as possible. So today we’re asking Roofstar: How long does roof installation take?

Roofstar Says:

As with most roofing procedures, the total length of time it will take to install a roof depends on multiple factors. Weather, for instance, can cause significant delays. But most of the time, roof installation will take about a day or two, up to three or four in less than ideal circumstances.

How Long Does it Take to Install Shingles on a Roof?

When it comes to a re-roof – that is, installing a new layer of shingles on top of an existing layer instead of replacing it entirely – the timeline tends to be a little bit faster than a full roof replacement. However, a re-roof isn’t always an option – for example, if you have already had a re-roof performed, it will not be possible to do one again. And in some circumstances, a roof replacement is ultimately a safer decision, even if it is longer and more expensive.

How Long Does it Take to Take off and Put on a New Roof?

A full roof replacement, where the roof is dismantled and completely replaced, usually takes one to two days. How long it will take exactly depends on several different factors, such as the materials used, the size and shape of your roof, and the weather.

Can a Roof Be Installed in One Day?

It is possible for a roof to be installed in one day, especially if the area of the roof is small and simply shaped. However, when you’re planning for a roof replacement, it’s smart to account for at least two days, as unavoidable delays – for example, involving weather – cannot always be predicted.

Should I Stay Home During Roof Replacement?

Whether or not you stay at home during a roof replacement is completely up to you. Roof replacements are very noisy, and even with the best roofers there is a risk of debris falling as they work, so it’s recommended that you stay somewhere else for the duration of the replacement. But if you wish to stay at home and can tolerate the loud noises, you are more than welcome to do so.

I have had several neighbors ask about your company and have given favorable recommendations to this point. Your team was very professional and I think to this point did a great job! I am in sales as well and just to let you know Mike was very professional in his meeting with me and his presentation and follow up made the difference between other companies.

We had work done last week, they were thorough, reasonably priced, on time, cleaned up after themselves, and provide before and after photos. They also have an inspector check the work after, they do not try to sell you things you do not need. I appreciate their honesty.

Roofstar provided professional inspection and detail quotes on the repairs needed to be done for our properties. We collected a few quotes from different roofing companies for comparison. Roofstar repair cost was very competitive and reasonable. We ultimately chose to go with Roofstar because we felt confident that they would take care of the problems. They came back to correct the minor issue that we had and finished the job to our satisfaction without further questions. We would highly recommend Roofstar to our families and friends.

From start until finish, Roofstar Arizona was the perfect choice for our house. We were given a very clear and thorough quote for the work our 30+ year old roof needed; we could’ve choose to ‘band-aid’ key areas and spend less, or we could spend the money and fix it right. We had saved and knew we’d have to spend a good amount of money for the work, but Roofstar was professional enough to offer choices. We had a slight miscommunication with regard to instruction with the on-site supervisor, and though we were able to easily clear things up, Roofstars’ owner Jeff drove himself to our home just to make sure our minds were at ease. Excellent touch. The workers were courteous and very thorough with the work. They stuck to the time needed to complete (we had good weather), and our home has a new roof, ready for the next 30 years. It looks great, and we have the confidence knowing the job was done right. Great work, guys. Highly recommend this company.

….03/2020–an update–we’ve had a few rainy days since the roof work–and everything is in fantastic order. These guys did a great job for us, and I know they will for you, too.

Very impressed with Jeff’s response to my concern over a rain caused leak in our ceiling.

Jeff arrived promptly in the a.m. for an evaluation, congenial, confident – integrity fully present. The same characteristics I respected, wanted and needed and had happily experienced the moment I met him. After observing the
rather slight damage to the ceiling we went to the roof where he promptly flattened himself atop the shingles and like a practiced detective began to assess shingles and flashing, etc, in order to create a likely scenario that might have generated a leak. His minute attention to detail was impressive.

Having isolated the potential problem he proceeded to caulk here and there. He also took the time to address other concerns that I had regarding roofing issues going forward.

All in all Jeff delivered the kind of prompt, competent service all homeowners seek, are entitled to, and hope for in a tradesman.

Thank you, Jeff for living the kind of values that make owning a home worth the while.

Extremely pleased with our extensive roof repair work. The crew showed up early and we could hear them working on the roof all day for a number of days. The price was extremely fair for the scope of the job. I had other roofing companies give me a bid prior to Roofstar. But once Roofstar came out, inspected our roof and told us what needed to be done, I knew they were who we’d hire. They have integrity and honestly which is refreshing when hiring contractors.

I have a new roof today thanks to Roofstar. From the estimate with Chris with understanding the process. Able to talk to all top brass with the care and interest in sharing the process through the team that showed up and did The work. Always willing to answer my questions I am thrilled with the results. Thanks Jeff, Jose, Juan, and Chris. I would highly recommend your team. Your onsite workers were fabulous.

Nancy H.

Love that they didn’t try and sell you a roof and repaired. Thanks for helping us get by to save up for complete repair. Work was done timely. I loved they had women roofers!

Candace B.

I want to extend my compliments to Santiago Sr & Jr. I really appreciated Santiago Sr’s sense of ’ownership’ with the job and recognize and am grateful for the effort that he and his son put into making sure the job was done well. They did excellent work! Thank you.
