Day 0

Free inspection

We walk the roof, photograph every problem and give you a written estimate. If it's storm damage, we document it for your insurer.

Day 1, morning

Tear-off to the deck

Old shingles come off down to the wood. Soft or rotten decking gets replaced so the new roof sits on solid ground.

Day 1, afternoon

Waterproof the edges

Ice and water shield along eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment everywhere else, new metal drip edge on every edge.

Day 1 to 2

New shingles, straight courses

Architectural shingles installed to the manufacturer's spec, with new flashing at walls, chimneys and dormers.

Final day

Clean yard, final walkthrough

Ridge vents, gutters and a magnet sweep for nails. We walk the job with you before we call it done.

Images are illustrative renders. Typical timelines; your estimate lists the real schedule for your home.

Walk the job with the VGA wolf

One house, one storm, the whole job.
