When your roof begins to show signs of wear, leaks, or damage, it’s easy to feel uncertain about what comes next. You might wonder how long a replacement will take, whether your property will be protected during installation, or how to choose the right contractor. Roof replacement is a significant investment, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming when you have the right partner.

Lednor Home Solutions has been replacing roofs since 1981. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor, we’ve earned a reputation for doing things the right way, with expert craftsmanship, no-pressure service, and a process that keeps homeowners informed and at ease.

Below, we’ll walk you through what to expect during a Lednor roof replacement, so you can make confident, informed decisions about your home.

Step 1: Free Roof Inspection and No-Pressure Estimate

Every Lednor project begins with a free, comprehensive roof inspection. We send a qualified member of our team to assess the current condition of your roof and identify any concerns, such as damaged shingles, granule loss, soft decking, or missing flashing.

During this visit, you’ll receive a full overview of what we found, along with recommendations tailored to your home’s needs. Our team will walk you through roofing material options, colors, and styles, and help you understand how the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System can enhance your home’s performance and appearance.

Most importantly, we provide a detailed estimate that is good for up to one full year. We never pressure you to make a decision on the spot.

Step 2: Custom Planning and Scheduling

Once you approve your estimate, the planning process begins. This phase is where we coordinate every detail to ensure a seamless installation. We’ll help you select your preferred roofing material, color, and accessories, such as ridge vents or upgraded underlayment, and make sure everything is ordered in advance of your scheduled install date.

If you’re replacing your roof due to storm damage, we’ll assist with the insurance claim process. Our team has experience working with major insurance providers and can help document the damage, provide necessary estimates, and communicate with your adjuster to avoid delays.

We’ll also provide a realistic timeline. Most installations take just one to two days, depending on roof size and complexity, and we’ll schedule yours at a time that minimizes disruption to your household.

Step 3: What to Expect on Installation Day

Installation day starts early. Our crew typically arrives by 7:30 a.m., and after a quick walkthrough with the homeowner, we begin prepping the site. You’ll notice tarps being placed over landscaping and furniture and the delivery of tools and materials. We take special care to protect your home, yard, and surroundings throughout the project.

Here’s what our roofing installation timeline typically looks like:

• Arrival of the crew and materials between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.
• Walkthrough of the scope of work with the crew lead
• Set up of safety equipment and property protection
• Tear-off of old roofing material and inspection of the decking
• Installation of new components, including ice and water shield, underlayment, starter shingles, main shingles, ridge vent, and flashing
• Magnet sweep and thorough cleanup

Homeowners often ask about noise and access. While roofing is inherently loud, we limit disruption by working quickly and respectfully. Our crew only needs access to the exterior, unless otherwise arranged.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough and Warranty Protection

After the installation is complete, a roof contractor will do a final walkthrough to ensure everything is up to Lednor Home Solutions’ high standards. The site is cleaned thoroughly, including a magnet sweep for nails, and the completed roof is inspected again by our team leader before we wrap up the job.

We’ll also take this time to explain the roof warranty we provide. An Owens Corning roof offers three levels:

• Standard warranty: Covers manufacturing defects on shingles
• Preferred warranty: Includes enhanced material and labor coverage
• Platinum warranty: The most comprehensive option, covering both materials and full workmanship when installed by a Platinum Preferred contractor like Lednor

Lednor also provides a lifetime workmanship warranty, meaning we stand behind the quality of our labor as long as you own your home.

FAQ

How long will the roof replacement take?
The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days for a standard residential home, though larger or more complex roofs may take longer.

What kind of disruption should we anticipate at our home during the replacement?
You’ll experience some noise, crew activity, and material deliveries—especially on the tear‑off day. The team will protect landscaping and keep work zones contained, and you can expect clear communication about the schedule and access.

What preparations should I make before the project begins?
Clear driveway space, move vehicles and fragile items away from exterior walls, and secure pets and children for safety. You’ll also want to finalize your material selections (shingle color, style, etc.) so the crews can begin on time.

What happens when the old roof is removed?
The contractor and crew will tear off existing shingles and underlayment, expose the roof deck, and inspect it for any hidden damage. If problems like rotted decking or flashing issues are found, they’ll be communicated promptly along with any revised scope of work.

How do materials get chosen and scheduled?
You’ll work with the contractor to select the right materials—such as an entire system from Owens Corning—balancing style, durability and budget. The contractor then orders the materials and schedules the job, considering permits, weather and logistics.

Will hidden damage delay the project or change the price?
Yes—it’s possible that once the old roofing is removed, underlying damage (such as deck deterioration or improper flashing) may require additional repairs. The contractor should provide clear communication and updated pricing before proceeding.

What can I expect during the installation process itself?
Crews will install underlayment, flashing, ventilation components, shingles or other selected materials, and ridge caps in a methodical sequence following best practices. You or the contractor may conduct daily walk‑throughs to ensure alignment with expectations.

What happens after the roof is installed?
After the final shingle is applied, the crew conducts debris cleanup (including magnet sweeps for nails) and a final inspection. Then you’ll be invited to a walk‑through to review workmanship, receive warranty documentation, and ask any questions.

How will Lednor ensure quality and what warranties come with the project?
When working with a contractor with long experience (over 40 years) and manufacturer‑certified status (e.g., Owens Corning Platinum Preferred), you can expect adherence to high installation standards, triple‑coverage warranties (materials, labor, performance), and transparent communication.

Will the project affect my house’s curb appeal and value?
Yes—a new roof installed properly improves aesthetics, elevates the home’s market value and enhances protection from weather. By choosing the right materials and having a professional job done, you’re also reducing future maintenance and repair risks.

What should I do if I have more questions mid‑project?
Keep in touch with your project supervisor or point‑of‑contact at Lednor. Ask for updates, photos, or status calls. It’s also wise to walk around after each work day and note any concerns while the crew is still on site.

Will I need to buy anything extra or be available during the work?
You’ll need to finalize your selections and clear the work area ahead of time. Beyond that, most of the work is managed by the contractor; you don’t need to be on‑site full‑time but remaining available (by phone or in person) helps if questions come up.

How will weather affect the project?
Weather can impact scheduling, especially on tear‑off and installation days. Rain, high winds or severe storms may delay work or require additional safety measures; a reliable contractor will monitor weather and keep you informed.

What signs will indicate a job well‑done by the end?
A clean property free of roofing debris and nails, strong alignment of shingles and flashing, proper ventilation and flashing visible where applicable, and warranty documentation in hand—all are indicators of a successful project.

Am I expected to do anything after the roof is completed?
After the project, keep the documentation in a safe place, register any warranties if needed, and plan for regular inspections (annually or after major storms). While you don’t have to perform heavy maintenance, staying aware of roof condition over time helps maintain performance.
