FAQs
How quickly can you fit my Rockwood home into your roofing schedule?
In most cases we can perform the initial on-site inspection within 24–48 hours of your call. After the inspection and written estimate are approved, we generally reserve a production slot within 7–10 business days for standard shingle replacements and 10–15 business days for specialty or metal roofs. During peak storm seasons those windows may extend slightly, but we maintain an active standby crew so urgent repairs can still be started the same week.
What steps are involved in scheduling a roofing project with your company?
The process is designed to be straightforward: 1. Contact us by phone, web form, or the Rockwood office to request an inspection. 2. A certified estimator arrives, evaluates the roof, explains options, and issues a detailed quote. 3. You electronically sign the proposal and choose a preferred start week. 4. We order materials, pull any required Rockwood permits, and email you a confirmed start date. 5. Two days before arrival, you receive a reminder text/email and a checklist for driveway and yard preparation. 6. The crew arrives on schedule, completes the work, and performs a final walk-through with you before collecting final payment.
How do weather conditions in Rockwood affect my scheduled roofing date?
Safety and quality are our top priorities, so we monitor NOAA forecasts daily. Light rain usually won’t stop tear-off or underlayment installation, but sustained rain, high winds above 40 mph, or freezing temperatures below 32 °F will trigger a weather hold. If a delay is necessary, you’ll receive at least 24-hour notice and an alternate date—typically the next clear day on the calendar. Because we pad our schedule with contingency days, most projects are completed within the originally quoted time frame even when minor weather delays occur.
Can I stay in my house while the roofing work is being done?
Absolutely. Ninety-five percent of our Rockwood customers remain in their homes throughout the project. Roofing is noisy, but it does not compromise the structural safety of the interior. We schedule the loudest tasks—tear-off and decking repairs—between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to minimize evening disruption. If you work from home, let us know and we can coordinate quieter periods around key conference calls.
What if hidden damage is discovered after the old roof is removed?
If we uncover rotten decking, damaged trusses, or inadequate ventilation, the crew photographs the issue and the project manager meets you on-site or via video call. You receive a change-order showing the additional work, materials, and cost before anything proceeds. We keep common deck boards and framing lumber on the truck so small repairs rarely extend the build by more than a few hours. Larger structural fixes are scheduled for the next available day so your roof is never left unprotected overnight.
Do you handle permits and inspections required by the City of Rockwood?
Yes. The city requires a residential roofing permit and a final inspection. Once you approve the proposal, we submit the permit application, pay the fees, and post the permit on-site before work begins. After completion we schedule the city inspector, meet them on-site, and forward the signed approval document for your records. This service is included in every contract, so you don’t have to navigate any paperwork yourself.
