The roof over your house shields you from the elements. As such, you must act fast when it's time for a replacement.
Most homeowners dread the replacement process because they believe replacing the roof will take forever. So, when they call a roofing company, the first thing they ask is, "How long does it take a replace a roof?" As Woodstock's roof replacement experts, we get that question frequently, and the answer is always the same; "It depends."
It will take a day to replace most residential roofs. However, some projects can stretch to two to three days. Meanwhile, highly complex projects may take up to three weeks. Let's look at the factors that can affect the roof replacement timeline.
Some factors that determine how long it will take to replace your roof include the following:
Roofing contractors take more precautions when replacing a roof in cold weather and may postpone the project. A wet or icy rooftop is unsafe for the crew.
Additionally, low temperatures can affect how the asphalt shingles seal and stick. So, unless the roof is dry and you're installing other roof types besides asphalt shingles, the roof replacement project can take a while.
Roofing contractors have to take a unique approach to all roof materials. Thus, they all don't have the same replacement time.
So, before you ask. "How long does it take a replace a roof?" you have to know your roof type. Here are some estimates:
You can expect the duration to extend further if you want those shingles laid in a specific pattern instead of the traditional horizontal format.
Replacing the roof on a standard single-family home will not take as much time as replacing the roof on a large country-side home with over half a dozen rooms.
The roofing crew will need to install special safety equipment if your roof is too steep to walk on. That extra work can increase the project timeline.
Similarly, the crew will need to install special underlayment if your roof's pitch is shallow enough to slow down water runoff.
Are there lots of tree branches blocking access to your roof? Do any structural problems hamper access to the roof? Your roofing crew will need to navigate these issues first before starting the job.
If the roofing crew only needs to replace shingles, they will complete the job quickly. However, extra repairs to remedy structural damage will extend the project timeline.
