The time it takes to install a new roof varies depending on the size of the roof. However, 1-2 days is average.
When choosing a roofing contractor, make sure they are licensed, insured, experienced, and have positive customer reviews.
The best type of roofing material for your home depends on various factors such as your budget, location, climate, and preference. Contact us for a consultation.
How often do you stop and think about the roof of your house?
It’s one of those things that we take for granted because it is generally out of sight, out of mind. They are the first line of defense, protecting your home from weather damage by acting as the shield that sheds water and protects against snow, and ice. As such they are constantly subjected to potential wear and tear that can erode the service life of your roof. While most shingle roofs can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, incremental damage can reduce the lifespan and necessitate an early roof replacement. However, a little regular attention can keep them at peak performance. That’s why it is important to keep an eye out for early warning signs with a thorough visual inspection at least once a year.
Most homeowners are not comfortable climbing a ladder and getting on the roof, and that’s OK. While a professional roofer will certainly take this approach, a homeowner can do a thorough inspection from the ground with a pair of binoculars. Whatever method you choose, always use caution. Ladders can come into contact with power lines causing serious injury or death, and falls can be just as dangerous.
Once you are ready to inspect your roof, you will need to know what to look for. Damage can occur from wind, hail, water and falling objects like tree limbs so there are a variety of ways damage can present itself. The following list provides some of the clear signs that your roof may need attention.
Indoor Inspection
Outdoor Inspection
A final area that often causes confusion when homeowners inspect their roofs are black stains on the roof. While this can look unsightly, it is not a sign of damage. The stains are caused by algae growing on the shingles. While it will not affect the ability of the roof system to protect your house, the aesthetic impact can make it difficult to sell. There are ways to deal with it on existing roofs, but if your roof is near the end of its service life, it may be wise to replace the roof with modern algae-resistant shingles. If your roof passes these inspection points, then you are probably in pretty good shape, but if one or more of these trouble spots appear it may be time to contact us for a free roof inspection.

Getting a new roof can be very exciting for the entire family. You look forward to an opportunity to update the roof so your home will look and function like new, and the kids and pets usually enjoy observing how roofers rip, tear, haul, and nail. But with the arrival of roofers, your home will also become a working area, which can cause some stress. Rest assured our team at Pro Styles Roofing will make sure that your roof replacement is as seamless as possible.
- The following tips can help guide you in preparation for the for the big day!
Loud noises coming from the home may increase anxiety or disturb sleep habits. While it may be exciting to watch from a safe distance, work zones are extremely unsafe for children and pets. Talk with your kids to explain that certain areas of the home or yard will be off-limits until the project is complete. Since young children and pets may not understand these dangers, you may be more comfortable visiting family or friends while your roof is replaced. But you can stay home during a roof replacement.
Sorry, but your roofing contractor will need your your prime parking space.
Contractors need quick access to their tools and trucks throughout the day. They need a place to load shingles and debris. You’ll want to keep your vehicles a safe distance from this area until work is completed.
You should also keep your garage doors closed during construction to keep out dust and debris.
The vibrations from hammers and machinery on your roof may travel through some walls of your home, especially if repairs to the existing deck are needed.
During a roof replacement, numerous installers will be walking on your roof, pounding it with hammers. Dust or small debris will fall in attic spaces during a new roof installation. You can keep personal items cleaner by covering them with old sheets or drop cloths until the install is finished. Be prepared to do some light vacuuming in these areas after construction is complete.
A shed or garage is the best place to store outside items like grills, patio furniture, lawn ornaments, and potted plants while your new roof is installed.
If you don’t have on-site storage, you may want to put these items together in an area of the yard that is a safe distance from the work zone.
Any tree branches that hang low near your roof will need to be trimmed before your contractor. PSR will use tarps or drop cloths to protect plants and grass in the immediate roof line area. Having the grass cut the day before the construction begins really helps.
- Short grass will help keep fallen debris/nails from hiding in your lawn, making cleanup faster and more thorough.
Your contractors will need access to electrical outlets while they are working. Exterior outlets are preferred, but if your home does not have any, a garage outlet is the second-best choice. If you don’t have an outlet outside or in a garage, keep in mind that extension cords may need to run through a window or door to get power outside. Extension cords can pose a tripping hazard, so choose an outlet in an area that doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic.
If you have any antennas or satellite dishes located on or very near your roof, you’ll want to have them removed. Call your cable or satellite provider to make arrangements before roof work begins.
- If there is an old, non-working unit, we will be happy to remove/dispose for you.
Let your neighbors know about the planned work with giving them an anticipated timeframe.
- They will thank you!😬
Construction at your home can create unexpected obstacles. Extension cords or other construction equipment that isn’t normally there offer some fine opportunities to really hurt yourself. Stay extra alert during this time to prevent avoidable injuries.
“You should secure exits from the inside to make sure no one exits under a ladder or scaffolding. Also, a large note taped to the inside of the door is a great way to remind your family that an exit is unsafe to use.”
Most importantly, remember that this construction and any inconvenience it brings is temporary. Soon you will have the new roof you’ve been waiting for!
