What to Expect on Roof Replacement Day in Roanoke TX

Most Roanoke roofs are completed in a single day — from tear-off to cleanup. Here’s exactly what happens hour by hour.

Before the Day

Move all vehicles off the driveway — dump trailer + materials take the whole space. Secure items inside — the house shakes during tear-off; move shelf items and wall hangings. Plan for noise — if you work from home (25% of Roanoke residents do), schedule meetings elsewhere. Protect attic items with sheets. Secure pets in an interior room.

7:00 AM — Crew Arrives

Dump trailer positioned against garage. Materials staged. Protective tarps laid over landscaping. Windows covered. This setup takes about 30–45 minutes.

8:00 AM — Tear-Off

The loudest phase. All existing shingles and underlayment stripped to bare decking. Everything goes into the dump trailer. Your house will shake — this is completely normal. Takes 2–3 hours depending on roof size.

10:30 AM — Deck Inspection

Every square foot of decking checked for water damage, rot, and soft spots. Found on ~30% of North TX tear-offs. Damaged sections replaced with new plywood. We call you before proceeding if unexpected damage is found.

11:00 AM — Underlayment

Ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations. Synthetic underlayment across entire deck. New drip edge on eaves and rakes. This is your waterproof backup layer.

12:00 PM — Shingle Installation

Starter strips first, then shingles in overlapping courses from bottom to top. Each shingle nailed in manufacturer-specified zones for wind warranty. Most time-intensive phase — 3–4 hours.

3:00 PM — Ridge Caps & Details

Ridge caps along the peak. Pipe boots, vent covers, and flashing sealed. Every penetration finished to manufacturer specs.

4:00 PM — Cleanup & Walkthrough

All debris hauled away. Magnetic nail sweep across entire yard, driveway, and street. Gutters inspected. Tarps removed. Final walkthrough with you + warranty documentation. Complimentary 6-month follow-up inspection scheduled.
