What to Expect During Your Asheville Roof Replacement
Replacing your roof is a significant investment in your home’s future, but knowing what to expect can make the process much less stressful. As a family-owned Asheville roofing contractor, we believe in complete transparency about our process. This timeline will walk you through exactly what happens from the moment you decide to work with Lane Roofing until the final nail is hammered and cleanup is complete.
Every roof replacement in Western North Carolina has its own unique challenges and considerations, but our proven process ensures your project runs smoothly regardless of your home’s specific needs.
Before Construction Begins
Initial Consultation & Assessment (Day 1)
Your journey begins with a thorough roof inspection and consultation. We’ll come to your Asheville home to assess your current roof’s condition, take measurements, and discuss material options that work best for Western North Carolina’s climate. During this visit, we explain our findings in clear, straightforward language and answer all your questions about the replacement process.
Detailed Proposal (Days 2-3)
Within 48 hours of our initial visit, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive proposal that includes material recommendations, project timeline, and transparent pricing without hidden fees. Unlike national chains, we tailor our proposals to your specific home and needs, not from a corporate template.
Contract Signing & Material Selection (Days 4-5)
Once you’ve reviewed and accepted the proposal, we’ll finalize material selections and sign the contract. We’ll help you select shingles that not only complement your home’s aesthetic but also perform well in Asheville’s varied climate conditions. At this stage, we’ll also schedule your project start date.
Material Delivery (1-2 Days Before Installation)
Your roofing materials will be delivered to your property 1-2 days before construction begins. We’ll coordinate with you about where to place the materials to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We ensure all materials are properly covered and protected from the elements until installation day.
The Construction Phase
Preparation Day (Morning of Day 1)
Our crew arrives early, typically between 7-8 AM. First, we protect your landscaping, siding, windows, and other vulnerable areas with tarps and plywood. We position our dumpster strategically to collect debris without damaging your property. Your project manager will walk you through the day’s agenda and address any last-minute concerns.
Tear-Off Process (Day 1)
Once preparations are complete, we carefully remove your old roofing materials down to the decking. Unlike some contractors who rush this crucial step, we take our time to ensure no debris damages your property. We inspect the exposed decking for any rot or damage that wasn’t visible before and address these issues immediately.
Deck Repairs & Preparation (Day 1-2)
If we discover damaged decking, we’ll replace it right away. We then install new underlayment and ice and water shields—particularly important for Asheville homes that face our region’s occasional harsh winter conditions. Proper preparation at this stage prevents future leaks and extends your roof’s lifespan.
New Roof Installation (Days 2-3)
With the prep work complete, we begin installing your new roofing materials. For an average Asheville home, this typically takes 1-2 days. Our experienced crew follows manufacturer specifications exactly to ensure warranty coverage. Your project manager will be on-site throughout this process to oversee quality control and address any questions you might have.
Flashing & Detail Work (Days 2-3)
We pay special attention to installing proper flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys—areas where leaks commonly occur in Western North Carolina homes. This critical detail work is often rushed by less thorough contractors, but we take the time to get it right.
Project Completion
Thorough Cleanup (Final Day)
We pride ourselves on leaving your property cleaner than we found it. Our thorough magnetic sweeping process removes all nails and small metal debris from your yard and driveway. We inspect all landscaping, gutters, and surrounding areas to ensure no materials or tools are left behind.
Final Inspection (Final Day)
Before considering the job complete, your project manager conducts a comprehensive inspection of the entire roof. We check for proper installation, aesthetic consistency, and ensure all components are secured properly. You’re welcome to join this walkthrough so we can address any questions or concerns.
Warranty Information & Future Care (Day After Completion)
We provide you with all warranty information, both for materials and our 10-year workmanship warranty. Unlike other Asheville roofing companies, we explain exactly what’s covered and how to reach us if any issues arise in the future. We’ll also share some simple maintenance tips to help extend your roof’s lifespan.
