What to Expect From Your Roofing Installation
When you contract with Williams Roofing to install or repair your roof, we believe we should provide you with a realistic expectation of how the job will progress and be performed. Certainly not all jobs are the same, and timelines can vary based on a number of conditions such as the intricacies of the job, availability of materials and weather.
We are very sensitive to your need and desire to complete our work as quickly as possible, without compromising the job's quality and positive outcome. Below is a timeline of a typical roofing project; chronologically defining each of the steps we take from start to finish.
From Start To Finish
Step 1: The Call
Our work starts with you contacting us about your roofing project. We'll
gather information over the phone, and then one of our estimators will make
an appointment for an on-site visit.
Step 2: The On-Site Visit
One of our expert estimators will visit your property to evaluate the scope
of work. While in some cases your attendance is not required, meeting you
at the project site allows us to show samples and discuss repair and/or
installation options. We’ll also be able to assess interior conditions
and needs.
Step 3: The Proposal
From our on-site visit, our estimator will determine the labor and material
needs, and provide a complete, detailed written proposal including warranty
information for your review.
Step 4: The Approval
Upon review of our proposal, we urge you to contact us with any questions
you have.
Our estimators can meet with you personally or discuss your concerns over
the phone. When you find the terms and conditions to be acceptable, simply
sign the proposal and mail it back to us.
Step 5: Confirmation
When we receive the signed proposal, we will contact you to arrange scheduling
and discuss details such as color selections and special concerns.
We also contact your community’s building department to obtain necessary
permits and schedule required inspections.
Step 6: The Job Begins
First, we evaluate existing conditions and take necessary precautions to
protect your home and property. Then, we remove your old roof. After
it is removed, we clean the grounds and gutters, plus perform a magnetic
sweep around the perimeter of your property to remove any loose metal and
nails. We also inspect the existing roof deck for dry rot or termite damage
and report findings to you.
Step 7: New Roof Installation
A representative from your community’s building department does an inspection
(if required) of your existing roof deck to confirm that it is sound and
that all required repairs have been made. After approval we install your
new roof utilizing the finest materials and workmanship. Upon completion,
we clean the grounds and restore your property to its original condition.
Step 8: Completion
When we complete your roof to our exacting standards, we contact the building
department for a required final on-site inspection. When they provide
final approval, you may keep the signed permit for your records. Our
job is done when you are completely satisfied.
