How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take (and What to Expect)

If you’re planning a roof replacement, you might wonder how long your home will look like a construction zone. The good news? In most cases, not long at all.

At ROC Roofing, we’ve completed hundreds of roof replacements across Central Florida — and most are done in one to three days. Here’s what that process looks like and what you can expect every step of the way.

1. Most Projects Wrap Up in 1–3 Days

Most Central Florida homes are completed within two days, weather permitting. Tile roofs or large homes can take longer, but we always provide a clear timeline upfront.

2. Weather Can Change the Schedule

Florida weather can shift fast — sunny mornings, storms by afternoon. We plan carefully around forecasts, and if rain pops up mid-project, we pause and fully tarp your roof to keep it protected.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

We ask homeowners to clear the driveway and move vehicles for access. Inside, you can remove fragile wall hangings or attic items. That’s all — we handle setup, teardown, and cleanup.

4. Installation Day: Fast, Loud, and Professional

You’ll hear hammering and nail guns — that’s progress. Our crews work efficiently and respectfully. We inspect each section, follow all Florida Building Codes, and make sure every layer is watertight.

5. Post-Installation Cleanup and Inspection

We finish every project with a magnet sweep for nails and a detailed inspection. When we’re done, your home looks spotless — and your new roof is built to handle the next Florida storm.
