When a homeowner requires a roof replacement, they’ll typically have several questions regarding the process. Above all else, the most common question the team at Cloud Roofing receives regarding roof replacement is “how long will roof replacement take?” With so many factors to consider, it can be difficult to pinpoint an exact time frame on how long roof replacement in San Antonio will take.
In most cases, it will take 1 to 3 days for your roof to be entirely replaced. In this post from the Cloud Roofing blog, we’ll discuss what factors can make a roof replacement take longer than usual, and what you can expect from the time frame of your roof replacement.
How Long Does An Average Roof Replacement Take?
Several factors can influence how long a roof replacement will take. It’s important to note that every home, and in turn, every roof is different, so some factors that may impact your roof replacement may not be mentioned here. In most cases, you can expect the roof replacement of an average 3,000-square-foot home to take a single day.
Factors That Can Prolong Roof Replacement
Weather
One of the most common ways that roof replacement is prolonged is due to weather. If you requested your roof replacement on a particularly snowy or rainy week, you can expect it not to be completed until there is a day or two of uninterrupted sunshine, or at least no rain or snow.
Roof Complexity
Another thing that can impact the timeframe of your roof replacement is the complexity of your roof. That means the different features of your roof, like angles, hips, valleys, facets, and its pitch, or steepness. Roofs that have several features like hips and valleys will take considerably longer than the roof replacement of a more standard roof with fewer of these features. The additional time for complex roof replacements comes from the extra safety precautions roofers have to take when dealing with these kinds of roofs. They’ll have to move slower and with more caution which generally extends the amount of time that a roof replacement takes.
Roof Accessibility
Roof accessibility is how easy it is for a roofer to safely reach your roof. Accessibility is important concerning the time frame of roof replacement as a roof that is not easily accessible means more time removing the old roof, taking it to the truck or garbage receptacle, and getting back on the roof for the actual replacement.
Things that can make your roof hard to access include landscaping or bushes around the house, fences, and a lack of paved surfaces near the roof access point. When roof accessibility is the issue, it usually can take an extra day or two for the roof replacement to be completed.
