Roof Replacement FAQ
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements take 1–3 days, depending on size and weather.
Can I install new shingles over the old roof?
An overlay is cheaper but usually not recommended. Most building codes allow at most two layers, and overlays hide deck damage.
Is a metal roof worth the cost?
Metal costs roughly 2–3× asphalt but lasts 40–70 years and can lower insurance in some regions.
