If you have ever wondered what actually happens during a one-day roof installation, here is how we do it. We have spent years refining this roofing process, and our team knows how to get it done right without cutting corners.

We believe homeowners deserve the truth, especially with something as important as a roof replacement. So here is exactly what you can expect from us, step by step.

Prepping Your Home and Crew Arrival

On installation day, our crew arrives early, usually around sunrise. That gives us time to walk the property, confirm your product selections, and review the plan with our crew chief. We start by protecting your home.

We cover landscaping, move outdoor furniture if needed, and make sure nothing around your property is at risk. Our goal is to leave your home better than we found it.

Tearing Off the Old Roof

This part can get loud, but it moves fast. We tear off the old roof, right down to the decking. As roofing contractors, we have seen a lot of surprises under shingles, so we inspect everything closely.

If any decking needs to be replaced, we do it immediately. Once the surface is solid, we lay down new underlayment and moisture barriers. This part of the roofing process sets the tone for the whole system.

Installing the New Roof

Most of our jobs use asphalt shingles from top-tier brands like CertainTeed. They offer great curb appeal, strong warranties, and proven performance here in East Tennessee.

For customers choosing metal roofing services, we bring in panels that are already custom-cut for your home. That saves time and gives your home a sharp, clean look.

Installation happens in sections. We start at the eaves and work up, securing each shingle or panel, flashing the valleys, and capping the ridges. Ventilation components are installed as we go.

Clean-Up and Final Inspection

Before we leave, we walk the entire property with magnetic rollers to pick up nails. We remove all debris and double-check the install.

Then we walk it with you. We want you to feel confident about your roof replacement and have the chance to ask questions. That’s part of what sets our roofing contractors apart. We are with you through the whole process.

How Long Does It Really Take?

In most cases, we are done by late afternoon. Of course, weather and complexity matter. Steep slopes, multiple layers, or tricky flashing work can slow us down. But we have completed hundreds of one-day roof installation jobs across East Tennessee.

We don’t leave until your home is protected, your questions are answered, and you are happy with the result.
