Replacing a roof is a big project, but at Schmidt Roofing, we’re here to make it smooth and hassle-free. Whether it’s from age or storm damage, a new roof is an investment in your home’s future, enhancing everything from energy efficiency to curb appeal. With our efficient team and streamlined approach, most of our roof replacements are completed in just one day.
Even though we do our best to minimize disruptions, there are a few things to keep in mind. Let’s walk through what you can expect and how we’re here to help every step of the way.
Why Replace Your Roof? The Benefits of a New Roof
A roof replacement is about more than just a home improvement project—it’s a way to increase energy efficiency, add property value, and protect your home from the elements. A new roof can reduce heating and cooling costs, keep your home more comfortable year-round, and boost your home’s market value, making it a worthwhile investment. Plus, a new roof gives you peace of mind, knowing your home is well-protected for years to come.
Efficient Inspection Process
Our roof replacement process begins with a detailed inspection to assess the current condition of your roof. During this step, one of our skilled roofers will evaluate everything from the condition of shingles and underlayment to potential issues like leaks, mold, or structural wear. Our team uses specialized equipment, including drones or thermal imaging cameras, when needed to get a full picture of your roof’s health. If any additional repairs are needed, we’ll explain the situation to you upfront.

Swift Removal of the Old Roof
Once the inspection is complete, it’s time to remove the old roof materials. Our crew carefully removes the old shingles, underlayments, and any other materials that need replacing. We prioritize an efficient, clean removal process to make way for fresh, high-quality materials. This step is typically done quickly, though it may take longer on larger roofs. Our goal is to keep this part of the process efficient so you can get back to your routine as soon as possible.
Choosing the Right Materials for Your Roof
Choosing roofing materials is one of the most crucial decisions in the replacement process. We offer a range of options, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and more, each suited for different weather conditions, styles, and budgets. For instance, asphalt shingles are durable and budget-friendly, while metal roofs offer long-lasting protection in areas prone to extreme weather.

Seamless Installation of Your New Roof
With the old roof removed, it’s time to install the new one! We lay down fresh underlayment, ensuring a strong foundation before placing the new roofing materials. Our team works efficiently, often completing the installation in a single day, even for larger roofs. From nailing down each shingle securely to adding ventilation systems that prevent future issues, we prioritize quality and safety. By the end of the day, you’ll have a beautiful, durable roof that adds style and protection to your home. If you’re ready to transform your roof, reach out to discuss your options!
Quick Cleanup, Zero Hassle
After the installation, our team goes the extra mile to ensure your property is spotless. We’ll collect all shingles, nails, and other materials in an on-site dumpster and thoroughly clear the area so that the only sign of our work is your brand-new roof. At Schmidt Roofing, we believe in leaving every property better than we found it, so you can relax and enjoy your home without worrying about the cleanup.
Preparing for Your Roof Replacement Day
With just a few simple preparations, you can help make installation day go as smoothly as possible:
- Protecting Your Home: If you have valuables stored in the attic, consider covering them to protect against dust and debris.
- Preparing for Noise: Roofing can be noisy, so consider relocating sensitive pets or planning for an off-site workday.
- Clearing the Driveway: Ensure our team has easy access to equipment and materials by keeping your driveway clear.
- Alerting Neighbors: It’s a friendly touch to let your neighbors know about the work so they’re prepared for any temporary disruptions.
These small steps will help ensure everything goes off without a hitch on installation day!
Factors That Might Impact Your Project Timeline
While most roof replacements are completed in a single day, a few factors can sometimes extend the timeline. Severe weather, like rain or extreme heat, can cause delays, as safety always comes first. Local ordinances can also affect start and end times, requiring us to adjust the schedule accordingly. Any timeline adjustments are usually brief, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way so there are no surprises.
Paying for a Roof Replacement Project
Typically, we require payment equal to half of the project’s total cost before work begins, with the remaining balance due upon completion. We understand that a roof replacement is a significant investment, which is why we offer flexible payment options. We’re happy to discuss any financing plans or payment methods that make the project more convenient and budget-friendly for you.
Additional Services to Complement Your New Roof
Beyond roof replacement, we offer several additional services to protect and enhance your home. This includes gutter repair and installation to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage, along with a full range of residential roofing services like inspections, maintenance, and minor repairs.
