What Happens During a Roof Replacement (Step by Step)

This guide explains what homeowners can expect before, during, and after a roof replacement.

Before Installation

Before installation, materials are delivered and the property is prepared to protect landscaping, siding, and outdoor areas. Clear communication helps homeowners understand scheduling and expectations.

During Installation

On installation day, crews remove existing roofing materials and inspect the decking for damage. Necessary repairs are addressed before underlayment and new materials are installed. Flashing, ventilation components, and finishing details are completed to ensure system integrity.

After Installation

After installation, the job site is cleaned thoroughly and a final inspection is conducted. Homeowners should receive documentation outlining work performed, materials used, and warranty information.

Understanding the process reduces stress and surprises.

RoofDog prioritizes communication and organization to ensure homeowners know what is happening at every stage of replacement.
