Are you considering replacing your roof and wondering how
long the job will last? Time is valuable for most homeowners
particularly if you have to coordinate noise, workday leave, or
safety. The best news is that roofing replacement is not as
time-consuming as many assume. Most Calgary residential roofs
can be replaced within a couple of days. Straight Path Construction
operates at an efficient pace to finish your roofing job with
experience and attention.
Average Timeline for a Roof Replacement
For a typical-sized house, roof replacement will typically take one
to three days. If your roof is straightforward and the weather is
favorable, we can often complete it in one day. Larger houses or
roofs with steep pitches or complex shapes will likely take a bit longer.
Our crew comes early, gets set up safely, and works diligently to get
your home safe and the work completed correctly.
What May Impact the Schedule?
Some things can influence how long your roof replacement will take.
Weather is the biggest one—rain, snow, or extreme wind can delay for
safety purposes. The state of your existing roof also comes into
play. If we find damage or rotting wood underneath, we will need more
time to fix the structure before putting it on the new roof. Additionally,
roofing materials such as metal or cedar are more time-consuming to
install than typical asphalt shingles.
Our Commitment to Quick, Safe Work
Straight Path Construction knows that your time is precious. That’s
why we take the time to plan ahead, work with experienced crews,
and prioritize safety at all times. We also keep you posted at every
turn, so you’ll always know what’s going on and when. Our Calgary
clients are amazed at how fast we complete the project without
sacrificing quality.
Getting Your Home Ready for Roof Replacement
Before the roofing team comes, there are a few easy things you can
do to prepare your house. Clear your yard and driveway so that there
is easy access for trucks and equipment. Remove any patio furniture,
grills, or breakable plants from outside the house so they won’t be
damaged by falling debris. Within, windows should be closed to
minimize dust and noise, and inform members of the household of
the upcoming work so that they can arrange as per their convenience.
Preparations make the roofing smoother and safer.
Post-Installation Cleanup and Inspection
Once the new roof is in place, the team will give your property a
complete cleanup. They pick up nails, debris, and remaining materials
to leave your house tidy and secure. A final walk-through is
conducted after cleanup to inspect everything to your satisfaction
and ensure it meets quality specifications. Straight Path Construction
prides itself on detail, ensuring your new roof appears immaculate
and will serve your home well for years to come.
