Your Roof Replacement: No Surprises, Start to Finish
A roof replacement is one of the biggest home improvement projects you'll undertake. It's also one of the most important. But for most homeowners, the process is unfamiliar — and that uncertainty can be stressful.
At RoofOps, communication is one of our five pillars. We believe you should know exactly what's happening at every stage. Here's a complete walkthrough of what to expect.
Stage 1: Free Inspection & Estimate (Day 1)
Everything starts with a thorough inspection of your current roof. Our inspector will:
- ■Examine your roof from the ground and up close
- ■Check for damage, wear, and structural issues
- ■Photograph everything and document findings
- ■Measure your roof using satellite technology for accuracy
- ■Discuss your options and answer all your questions
After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed written estimate with:
- ■Itemized costs for materials and labor
- ■Material options with pros and cons
- ■Timeline for completion
- ■Warranty information
- ■Financing options if needed
No pressure. We give you the information and let you decide on your timeline.
Stage 2: Pre-Installation Preparation
Once you've decided to move forward, we handle the logistics:
- ■Material ordering — Premium materials delivered to your home 1-2 days before installation
- ■Permit coordination — We handle all necessary permits with your municipality
- ■Neighbor notification — We'll let your immediate neighbors know about the project
- ■Protection setup — We cover landscaping, outdoor furniture, and vehicles near the work area
You'll receive a confirmed start date and your project leader's direct contact information.
Stage 3: Installation Day(s)
This is where the real work happens. Here's a typical day:
Morning (7:00 AM - Start)
- ■Crew arrives and sets up safety equipment
- ■Tarps and protection placed around your home's perimeter
- ■Dumpster positioned for debris
- ■Old shingles and underlayment removed (tear-off)
Midday
- ■Roof deck inspected for damage — any rotted decking is replaced
- ■New ice and water shield installed along eaves and valleys
- ■Synthetic underlayment rolled out across the entire roof
- ■Drip edge and flashing installed
Afternoon
- ■New shingles installed starting from the bottom up
- ■Ridge vent and ridge cap installed
- ■All penetrations (vents, pipes, chimney) properly sealed
- ■Final quality inspection by your project leader
End of Day
- ■Magnetic sweep of your yard to collect any stray nails
- ■Debris cleanup and removal
- ■Daily progress photos sent to you
Most standard roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days, depending on size and complexity.
Stage 4: Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
After installation is complete:
- ■Your project leader conducts a thorough final inspection
- ■You're invited to walk through the completed work
- ■We address any questions or concerns on the spot
- ■A final magnetic sweep ensures no nails are left behind
- ■All debris is removed — your property should look better than when we arrived
Stage 5: After the Project
Our relationship doesn't end when the last shingle is installed:
- ■Warranty documentation mailed within 2 weeks
- ■Manufacturer warranty registration completed on your behalf
- ■Follow-up call at 30 days to check on everything
- ■Annual maintenance available to extend your roof's life
- ■Priority service for any future needs
Communication Throughout
