From Start to Finish: What to Expect During Your Roofing Project

At Green Construction, we know that a roofing project can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time replacing or repairing your roof. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the key steps in the process, so you know exactly what to expect.

1. Initial Inspection and Estimate

Your project begins with a thorough inspection. A professional roofing contractor will assess the condition of your roof, identify any problem areas, and provide an estimate for the scope of work. This is the time to ask questions about materials, timelines, and costs.

Tip: Always review your estimate carefully and ensure you understand all included costs.

2. Choosing Materials and Scheduling

Once you’ve approved the estimate, it’s time to choose materials. Asphalt shingles, metal panels, or other options will be discussed, considering your budget and style preferences. After this, your contractor will schedule the project at a convenient time.

3. Preparing Your Home

Before construction starts, there’s some prep work to do. Move vehicles away from the house, secure fragile items inside, and alert neighbors about the upcoming work. Contractors will also set up protective measures, such as tarps and dumpster placement.

4. Roofing Installation

This is where the real work begins! Depending on the size of your roof and weather conditions, the installation may take a few days. The process usually involves:

• Removing the old roof

• Checking the decking for damage

• Installing underlayment and new materials

  -Your contractor will keep you updated throughout the process.

5. Final Cleanup and Inspection

Once the roof is complete, the crew will clean up your property, removing debris and stray nails. The final step is a detailed inspection to ensure everything meets industry standards and your satisfaction.

6. Warranty and Maintenance

After the project is complete, your contractor should provide you with warranty information and tips on roof maintenance. Regular inspections and small repairs will help extend the life of your investment.
