One of the most common questions PRC 13 Roofing hears from Sacramento homeowners is how long a full roof replacement will take. Most residential projects are completed in one to two days.
Day 1: Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
Crews remove old shingles, tile, or metal down to the deck. We inspect plywood for rot or soft spots and replace compromised sections before new underlayment is installed.
Day 1 to 2: New Roof Installation
Underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves, and new shingles or metal panels are installed. Ridge cap, flashing, and ventilation details are completed before cleanup.
Factors That Can Extend the Timeline
- Large or steeply pitched roofs requiring more safety rigging
- Significant decking damage needing replacement
- Multiple existing layers on older Sacramento homes
- Weather delays, we do not install in rain
- Tile systems requiring full underlayment replacement
Every PRC 13 replacement ends with a walkthrough and full cleanup, including magnet passes for nails. See our roof replacement process guide for the full step-by-step.
