One of the first questions clients ask is: “How long will my roof installation take?”
Many factors contribute to the amount of time it takes to complete a roof installation. Let’s discuss these factors and the corresponding completion time you can expect with your upcoming roof installation.
Factors That Impact Completion Time
The average roofing installation job takes one or two days. However, there are three main considerations that impact total completion time of a project. The project estimate should include each of these factors.
Weather:
Adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snowfall, hail, or strong winds, can increase the time for completing any home improvement project. Unfavorable weather can add a few extra days to a roof installation.
The best conditions for a roof installation include mild temperatures, ranging from 60° to 75° F, with no precipitation. Ideal times of the year for roof installation include spring, summer, and early fall because of the ample daylight.
Materials:
Different roofing materials require different installation methods. Certain materials will require a lengthier installation timeline. Here’s a breakdown of the most common materials and their timeframes:
- Asphalt Shingles: 1 to 3 days
- Wooden Shingles: 5 to 7 days
- Slate Tiles: 6 to 8 days
- Concrete Tiles: 8 to 10 days
House Size:
Obviously, installing a roof on a one-bedroom cottage will be quicker than installing one on a palatial mansion. The project estimate will include a timeframe that depends on the square footage and dimensions of your home.
Beware roofing companies that quote a one-day turnaround on a complex project. A rushed, low-quality roof installation won’t serve you well in the long run, so make sure to enlist the services of a reputable roofer.
