What Happens Between ‘We Signed the Contract’ and ‘New Roof Installed
Like with any project, getting a new roof is more than just signing a contract and the next day a new roof is installed. Most roof installations being within two to eight weeks of signing the paperwork. Then, depending on weather, you need permits, supplier schedules and scheduling around other projects. But what happens during the waiting period?
Once the paperwork is signed for a new roof installation, the paperwork is generated and distributed internally to the office, logistics team, project manager and installation crew.
Your roofing contractor will begin submitting paperwork to your local building department to pull required permits, ensure compliance and local codes and safety standards.
If insurance is involved, the project will be filed with them and the paperwork will be completed and checks from the insurance company can be distributed.
Shingles, drip edge, flashing, underlayment and shields are all ordered and delivered to the house. The project will begin soon after the materials are delivered to the house. Along with debris dumpsters and handle any care needed for landscaping, solar panels or steep pitches.
All can go according to plans, until the weather decides too not corporate. If there are high winds, extreme heat or cold or even heavy rains; a project may be delayed. But once the weather clears up, the project can proceed as planned.
