How a Roof Replacement Works at RCRS
From the first phone call to final walkthrough, here is what the residential roof replacement process actually looks like. Timing depends on weather, material availability, and insurance coordination — these are the realistic ranges.
- 1
Free inspection & photo documentation
Same day - 2 daysA licensed inspector walks the roof, documents every slope with photos, checks the attic for ventilation and prior leaks, and provides a written condition report. No obligation, no pressure.
- 2
Estimate & material selection
Same day after inspectionWe sit down with you (in person or by phone) to walk through the inspection findings, review shingle options — including IKO Dynasty Class 4 impact-resistant — and present an itemized written estimate.
- 3
Insurance coordination (if applicable)
1 - 4 weeks (carrier-driven)If the replacement is being filed as a storm claim, we meet the adjuster on-site, supply our photo documentation, and negotiate scope so you only pay your deductible. Timing depends on your carrier, not on us.
- 4
Material order & scheduling
3 - 7 business daysOnce you sign, we order shingles, underlayment, drip edge, and ventilation components, and lock in a tear-off date around your schedule and the weather forecast.
- 5
Tear-off, decking inspection & install
1 - 3 days on-siteCrews tear off the old roof down to decking, replace any rotted or delaminated plywood, install ice & water shield in valleys and around penetrations, lay synthetic underlayment, then install your new shingle system with proper ridge ventilation.
- 6
Cleanup, magnetic sweep & final walkthrough
Same day as installEvery yard gets a tarp protected work zone, full debris haul-off, and a magnet sweep for nails. A project manager walks the roof with you, hands over warranty paperwork, and confirms the job is right before final invoice.
