How long will the roof repair take? Some insights more bonuses. It is important to consider the size of a building when determining how much time it will require to complete a roof replacement or tear-off project. A commercial building of a hundred thousand square feet will obviously take longer than an average home or small office. A typical re-roofing job will take a majority of people a few days. In most cases, and weather permitting of course, we can have a 5,000 sq. ft. building completely reroofed within two working days.

Some large roofing companies may have as many as 50 employees on their site. You should hire a roofer who can handle a 5,000 square foot tear off roofing project within a couple of days. This is a reasonable average. A system known as phasing is used by some contractors to handle large projects. The contractor will tear down a smaller portion of the roofing each day, instead of tearing the entire roof off at once.

In a phasing-in project, each day a part of the roofing is removed, and the section is then reroofed. At the end, the seam is waterproofed. This marks out the area where the work stopped at night. The next morning, the roof is ripped off and the work on the second section begins. This is the best way to tackle large projects. When contractors remove the entire roof, then it starts raining heavily that night. Personal property and electronic equipment worth thousands of dollar could be damaged. The phasing approach is the best way to protect clients when working with large tear off roof projects.
