What do customers ask about Roof Replacement?
Common questions and tips from our work with Lansing customers.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Lansing take one to two working days once materials arrive. The tear-off and decking inspection happen the first morning, underlayment and shingles go on the same afternoon if the weather holds, and flashing detail work finishes day two. Steeper or larger roofs, and chimneys needing a cricket, can add time.
What happens on tear-off day?
The crew arrives early, sets tarps over landscaping and siding, and strips the roof down to the sheathing. Dumpsters go on the driveway or street edge, and damaged decking sections get replaced before anything new goes down. By end of day the property is magnet-swept for nails and the bulk of debris is hauled off.
What should I move before the crew arrives?
Move vehicles out of the garage and driveway, take wall hangings down inside since vibration travels, and unlock any gate the crew needs. Pets should stay indoors. Cut back branches within a few feet of the roof line if you can reach them safely, and note where sprinkler heads sit near the drip line.
Why tear off instead of shingling over the old roof?
An overlay hides problems. Soft decking, curled shingles, and failed flashing stay buried under the new layer, and two layers add weight the structure may not be rated for. A full tear-off lets us inspect the OSB sheathing, rebuild the ice and water shield, and set new flashing so the roof underneath the shingles is sound.
Can I replace my own roof instead of hiring a crew?
A confident homeowner can clear the site, but tear-off and shingling is a crew job. Carrying bundles up a ladder, nailing a straight 6-nail high-wind pattern, and weaving valley flashing take a full team working in step. Roofing also stays one of the riskiest trades for falls, so most Lansing homeowners leave the roof surface to professionals.
