Thinking about replacing your roof? 

You may wonder how long the process takes and what happens at each step. At Peak and Valley Roofing, we believe in keeping homeowners informed and prepared. 

Here’s a clear, step-by-step timeline of what to expect during a roof replacement in Northeast Ohio.

Before Work Begins

Once you approve your quote and submit the initial payment, your roof replacement will typically be scheduled within 4–6 weeks, depending on weather and material availability.

Here’s how to get your home ready:

  • Clear your driveway: A dumpster will be placed there for old roofing materials.
  • Unlock gates or fences: The crew will need access to your yard.
  • Electricity required: Make sure there’s power available during the project.
  • Protect your plants: Don’t worry—our team will install temporary landscape protection around shrubs, bushes, and flowers to minimize damage.

Project Start: Day of Installation

  • The Peak and Valley Roofing crew will arrive between 7:00 and 9:00 AM.
  • They’ll begin with a full tear-off of your old roofing materials and inspect the decking underneath.
  • Any damage will be repaired before the new roofing system is installed.

Installation Phase (1–2 Days)

Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 2 days from start to finish. During this time:

  • Underlayment, ice/water shield, and shingles will be installed.
  • Flashing, vents, and trim are also checked and updated as needed.

Final Cleanup & Inspection

Once the new roof is on:

  • The crew will thoroughly clean up any loose debris.
  • A magnetic roller will be used to collect stray nails from your lawn and driveway.
  • Your assigned project manager will perform a walkthrough with you to ensure the work meets your expectations.
