What to expect during a Roof Replacement
Replacing your roof is a big investment—but it doesn’t have to be stressful. At OC Roof Contractors, we believe in clear communication, professional service, and making the process smooth from start to finish. Whether it’s your first time replacing a roof or your fifth, here’s what you can expect when working with us:
1. Initial Inspection & Estimate
The first step is a thorough inspection of your current roof. We check for signs of damage, wear, and structural issues. Then, we provide you with a detailed written estimate outlining the scope of work, materials, timeline, and costs—no surprises.
2. Permits & Scheduling
Once you approve the proposal, we’ll handle the permitting process and get your project scheduled. We coordinate everything with your city and/or HOA if required.
✅ Bonus: Permit cost is included in your estimate when noted.
3. Preparation Day
Before installation begins, we take steps to protect your property:
Cover landscaping and walkways
Place dumpsters and tools in designated areas
Review the plan one more time with you, if you’re on-site
4. Tear-Off of the Old Roof
We remove the existing roofing material—up to 2 layers if needed—and inspect the wood decking underneath. If damaged wood is found, we’ll repair or replace it before moving forward.
5. Installation of New Roofing System
Now the real transformation begins. We install the full roofing system layer by layer:
Synthetic underlayment (for waterproofing)
Ice & water shield in valleys and penetrations
Drip edge metal around the roof perimeter
Roof vents and flashing as needed
Premium shingles or tiles (your choice of color and style)
High-profile ridge caps for a clean finish
We use Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Cool Roofing, known for long-lasting performance and warranty protection.
6. Clean-Up & Final Inspection
We clean the entire work area, run a magnet to collect nails, and leave your home looking better than we found it. A final inspection ensures everything was completed to code—and to our high standards.
7. Warranty & Peace of Mind
We back our work with a 10-year workmanship guarantee and all applicable manufacturer warranties. You’ll receive a final folder with documentation, photos, and warranty info.
🔧 Pro Tip:
Replacing your roof is also a great time to address issues like attic ventilation, flashing problems, or gutter upgrades. We’re happy to walk you through optional add-ons that may improve your roof’s lifespan and efficiency.
