How Long Do Roof Installations Take? 

When residents are in the process of having a roof installed or replaced, they are naturally always eager to have the project completed as quickly as possible. Determining the duration of an installation can be tricky, however, since it changes depending on how complex the roof shape is. Usually, a straightforward roof replacement or installation can be completed within a few days to a week. This includes the process of removing the old roof, preparing the surface, installing the new roofing materials, and performing any necessary finishing touches. However, larger or more intricate roofs, like those with multiple angles and dormers may take longer to complete.

Does Your Roof Need an Inspection?

Although every homeowner is always busy with a long to-do list, scheduling a roof inspection from time to time should be of the highest priority. These kinds of comprehensive examinations are key for ensuring the overall health and longevity of the roof as well as the rest of the home. But how often should you speak to a professional about an inspection? 

If there have recently been severe weather events such as storms, hurricanes, or hailstorms, it is crucial to have the roof checked out. Even when there are no visible signs of damage, there may be underlying issues that could worsen over time. Additionally, an older roof that is nearing the end of its expected lifespan needs to have its condition properly assessed. Regular check-ups, ideally performed annually or biannually, can help catch small issues before they turn into major problems.

When Should I Replace My Roof in Arizona? 

Several factors can determine when it's time to replace your roof.

 Here are some considerations specific to Arizona:

• Age: In general, it is recommended to consider replacing your roof between 20 and 30 years after its initial installation. The harsh climate in Arizona, with extreme heat and sun exposure, can cause accelerated wear and tear on roofs.
• Monsoon Season: It's essential to have your roof inspected before monsoon season, which typically runs from June to September in Arizona. Scheduling a replacement or repair during drier weather is ideal to avoid potential complications during heavy rains.
• Visible Damage: If you notice visible damage on your roof, such as cracked or missing shingles, leaks, or sagging, it may be a sign that a replacement is necessary. Prompt attention to these issues can prevent further damage and costly repairs.
• Energy Efficiency: High energy bills can be an indication that your roof is no longer providing adequate insulation. If you notice a significant increase in energy costs, it may be time to consider a roof replacement to improve energy efficiency and reduce expenses.
• Roof Lifespan: Different roofing materials have varying lifespans. Shingle roofs in Phoenix are typically designed to last about 20 years, while tile roofs can last 25 to 50 years, depending on material quality and maintenance.
• Consulting a Professional: It's always advisable to consult with a professional roofing contractor for a thorough inspection and assessment of your roof. They can provide expert advice based on the specific condition of your roof and local Arizona factors.
