Most residential roofing jobs require three to five days to complete. The process begins with removing the existing roof and papering in the house so it is weather tight. We then install the new roofing and complete the job by doing a final cleaning of the grounds and cleaning the roofing related debris from the gutters.
During the installation, our journeyman roofers are self supervising. Your salesman will come by periodically to check on the progress of the work and to ensure that all needed materials are available. We will inspect the job for quality upon completion. Our goal is to complete your roof quickly and efficiently, with as little impact to your day to day routine as possible.
Removing an existing roof is a very dirty job. The roof has years of accumulated dirt embedded in the keyways and underneath. The more layers being removed, the dirtier the job.
In Your Attic Space
If you have existing plywood sheathing, you will have the least amount of dirt filtering into your attic space because plywood has fewer cracks or knot holes through which the dirt can penetrate. If you have existing space sheeting, some dirt will get into your attic space and fall onto the insulation. If you want to prevent this, you should cover anything in this area with plastic or paper that you can roll up and dispose of. (We do not enter the home to cover this area). With existing cedar shake roofs, keeping the old paper on the roof helps to keep debris out of the attic. We clean it off and roll new underlayment over the top. Cedar shingles over space sheeting is the worst case for dirt in the attic, because shingles are installed without felt underlayment. There is nothing to prevent a significant amount of debris from falling into the attic.
In Your Yard
Please remove any garden furniture, potted plants or other items from around the edge of the roof. Immovable items, such as hot tubs are covered with tarps. Some debris and dirt may fall on foundation plantings. We do not cover these with plastic, which would, in most weather, cause the plants to overheat and burn. At the end of the job, we use an air blower to remove dirt from your plants. If you have special plants or other items that concern you, let us know before we begin and we will make special efforts to protect them.
Vibration
During roof removal and loading of the roof with new roofing material, your house may experience some vibration in the rooms just under the roof. The degree of vibration depends upon how your home was constructed. Damages rarely occur, but if you have any delicate ceiling fixtures such as crystal chandeliers, or fragile items on open shelves you may want to take precautions to protect them, or temporarily take them down.
Skylights
If you have skylights, it is necessary for us to remove them and flash them with new metal. During this process, some debris will fall into the house. You may want to place a drop cloth under these areas. Minor drywall touch ups may be required. This is not included in our scope of work.
