Given how a roof replacement is a huge investment, you’ll want to make sure the process goes smoothly. And while most roofers will do their best to complete your project within your budget and schedule, there are just some factors that cause unavoidable delays. Oberg Roofing & Remodeling Inc., the trusted shingle and steel roofs company in the area, shares some of them here.
1. Bad Weather. A downpour when the project is already underway not only delays the work, it can also negatively affect the components of the new roof. The roof deck, for instance, needs to be completely dry before the underlayment and shingles are installed. A couple of days of dry, sunny weather are needed to ensure proper, safe, and quality roof installation. It pays to tune in to a reliable weather forecast and schedule the project on a string of good days for this reason.
2. Not Securing a Building Permit. Before work can start on your roof replacement, you’ll need to secure the necessary permits from your local licensing office. Getting them will actually take some time, so if you want to keep your roofing project on track, you’ll need to plan ahead. It’s not a good idea to overlook their acquisition. Non-compliance can lead to forced removal of your new roof, large fines, and even potential litigation.
3. Change Orders. Did you suddenly change your mind about some aspect of your roof replacement? Perhaps you have an issue with the roofing materials used, or you and your choice of contractor just aren’t on the same page. Change orders mean delays and additional expenses, so if you want your roof replacement to finish on time, you’ll need to thoroughly plan it all beforehand.
