🏠 What to Expect During a Roof Replacement
When it’s time for a new roof, it’s natural to feel a little anxious — after all, your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. At Affordable Home Remodeling, we believe that understanding what to expect can make the process smooth, stress-free, and even exciting!
Below, we’ll walk you through the key stages of a roof replacement so you can feel confident from start to finish.
1️⃣ The Initial Inspection & Estimate
Every successful roofing project starts with a thorough inspection. Our team will:
Assess the current condition of your shingles, decking, flashing, and ventilation.
Identify any problem areas such as leaks, water damage, or structural concerns.
Discuss your material options — from asphalt shingles to metal roofing — and explain the pros and cons of each.
Once we’ve covered everything, you’ll receive a clear, detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises.
2️⃣ Scheduling & Preparation
After you approve the estimate, we’ll schedule your replacement on a date that works for you. To prepare:
Clear the driveway so our crew can deliver materials and set up equipment.
Move patio furniture or vehicles away from the house.
Protect valuables in the attic — roof replacement can cause some dust and vibration.
We take every precaution to protect your property, including tarps, cleanup nets, and magnetic sweeps for nails.
3️⃣ The Tear-Off Process
On installation day, our crew will remove your old shingles and underlayment, inspect the decking underneath, and make any necessary repairs. This step is noisy and active, but it’s where the transformation begins!
We’ll dispose of all debris properly, keeping your yard as clean as possible throughout the process.
4️⃣ Installing Your New Roof
Once the old materials are gone and the structure is sound, it’s time to install your brand-new roof. Our process includes:
High-quality underlayment for added protection.
Proper flashing installation around chimneys, vents, and valleys.
New shingles or panels, installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
Ventilation adjustments to improve your home’s energy efficiency and longevity.
At Affordable Home Remodeling, we use top-tier materials and proven installation techniques backed by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
5️⃣ Cleanup & Final Inspection
When your new roof is complete, we’ll conduct a detailed cleanup — removing all debris, nails, and materials from your yard. Then, we’ll perform a final inspection to make sure everything meets our quality standards and your expectations.
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through the finished work and answer any questions about maintenance or warranty coverage.
6️⃣ Enjoy Your New Roof — and Peace of Mind
A properly installed roof not only protects your home from Wisconsin’s harsh weather but also enhances its curb appeal and value. With Affordable Home Remodeling, you can trust that your investment was handled by a local, family-owned team who truly cares about your home and your satisfaction.
