In this blog, we break down the key steps in a roofing project, what you can expect at each stage, and how working with the right roofing contractor can make all the difference.
1. Initial Roof Inspection and Consultation
Every successful project starts with a comprehensive roof inspection. Our licensed experts evaluate your current roof’s condition, checking for signs of damage like:- Missing or broken shingles
- Water stains or leaks in the attic
- Mold or mildew growth
- Sagging or compromised areas
2. Selecting the Right Roofing Materials
Choosing the best roofing materials is key to long-term performance and aesthetic appeal. We help you select from trusted brands like Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and GAF, offering materials such as:- Asphalt shingles (durable, affordable, and versatile)
- Metal roofing (long lifespan, energy-efficient)
- Flat roofing membranes (ideal for commercial or low-slope homes)
3. Scheduling and Preparation
Once you approve the proposal, we’ll schedule the installation date and help you prepare:- Move outdoor furniture, vehicles, and fragile lawn items
- Secure loose items inside your home (roof work can cause vibrations)
- Notify neighbors about upcoming work
4. Roof Removal and Installation
On installation day, we begin by carefully removing your old roofing system, including shingles, underlayment, and flashing. Our team ensures the site is kept clean and safe throughout the process. Then we install your new roof in layers:- Underlayment: Moisture barrier for added protection
- Flashing: Installed around chimneys, vents, and edges
- Shingles or roofing materials: Precision-installed for long-term performance
- Ventilation systems: Ensures proper airflow to extend the life of your roof
5. Final Cleanup and Inspection
After installation, we clean up all debris, nails, and materials from your property. We then conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail is perfect. We also provide documentation for warranties, materials used, and proof of installation—ideal for insurance or resale purposes.6. What Sets On Time Roofing Apart?
