At Kore Roofing, we know that starting a roofing project can feel overwhelming — especially when it comes to timing. One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “How long will my roofing project take from start to finish?”
The answer depends on your roof type, materials, weather, and whether you have solar panels installed. To make the process clearer, here’s a step-by-step look at the typical roofing project timeline.
Why Arizona?
-
Extreme heat – Roof work often starts early mornings to avoid dangerous afternoon temperatures.
-
Monsoon season – Sudden storms can cause brief delays, but scheduling around Arizona’s seasons helps.
-
Solar adoption – Many Arizona homes have solar panels, adding steps to removal and reinstallation.
Key Considerations in a Roofing Timeline
| Stage | What Happens | Typical Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Inspection | Roof assessment, questions, recommendations | 1–2 days |
| Material Selection | Choose shingles, tile, or metal; sign contract | 1 week |
| Scheduling & Prep | Finalize schedule, prep property for access | 1–2 weeks |
| Old Roof Removal | Tear-off, debris removal, deck inspection | 1–3 days |
| Solar Panel Removal/Reinstall* | Panels removed before install; reinstalled after | 2 visits |
| New Roof Installation | Underlayment, flashing, shingles or tile installed | 3–7 days |
| Inspection & QA | Final inspection, code compliance check | 1 day |
| Final Cleanup & Walkthrough | Site cleanup, nail sweep, homeowner review | 1 day |
*Note: Solar panel labor often costs more than roofing labor and may cause temporary power outages.
