Decisions to make before scheduling

  • What happens from inspection through written scope.
  • How scheduling, materials, and property protection are handled.
  • What cleanup and final review should include.

Before work starts

The process begins with a roof review, written scope, material choice, scheduling, and any permit or project coordination details. Homeowners should know what areas need access, where materials may be staged, and how weather can affect timing.

During replacement

A typical replacement includes tear-off, deck review, underlayment, flashing, roof installation, ventilation details, and cleanup as the work progresses. Communication matters because hidden conditions can appear once the old roof is removed.

Final cleanup and review

The finish should include debris removal, magnetic nail cleanup where appropriate, review of visible work, and warranty or care information. A clean closeout is part of the job, not an extra favor.

Before scheduling

Know the sequence before materials hit the driveway.

Use the process guide to confirm prep, access, weather delays, cleanup, and final review expectations before installation day.
