How Long Does A Roof Replacement Take?
Katelyn Lewis • April 16, 2025
If you’re in the market for a new roof, you may be wondering: How long does a roof replacement take?
Factors that influence the installation timeframe include the type of roof you choose (asphalt shingle, metal, cedar shake, slate, or TPO), the size of your roof, and the company you choose to do the work. And, of course, the weather can delay or prolong the project.
Let’s say you’ve chosen RETEX to replace your roof with asphalt shingles, and the weather forecast looks sunny. The materials will arrive 24-48 hours before your scheduled installation. Our crews typically complete an asphalt shingle roof tear-off and replacement within 1-2 days. And we clean up and typically remove the dump trailer the same day we finish the work.

While some of these contractors might be reputable, others — known as “storm chasers” — follow severe weather events, hoping to cash in on vulnerable homeowners.
We will be closed on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, in observance of the holiday.
Online pricing calculators and AI tools are great for ballpark numbers, but they don’t know the local labor market and specific window options for your home.
