What to Expect When Getting a New Roof in Phoenix

For most Phoenix homeowners, the thought of getting a new roof doesn’t spark excitement—and we get it. While a roof upgrade can improve your home’s curb appeal, prevent leaks, and even lower energy bills, the idea of construction noise and disruption can be a turnoff.

At Pinnacle Roofing, we’re here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. With over 25 years of experience serving the Phoenix metro, we know what it takes to get the job done right—with minimal hassle for you and your family.

Here’s what you can expect during a typical roof installation and how to prepare your home ahead of time.


Timeline: How Long Does It Take?

Most roof installations take one to two weeks from start to finish. The actual install time varies depending on roof size, weather, and material (shingles, tile, or metal). Shingle roofs often take 1–3 days, while tile can take a few days longer.


How to Prepare for a New Roof

A little preparation goes a long way. Before we start work, we’ll review the full project with you, confirm materials, and make sure all permits are in place.

Here’s how you can get your home ready:

  • Cover landscaping – Protect garden beds and shrubs with plastic tarps.

  • Clear the yard – Move outdoor furniture, grills, and toys out of the work zone.

  • Protect the attic – Cover stored items to prevent dust buildup.

  • Secure breakables – Take down wall décor and pack up fragile items inside.

  • Plan for pets and kids – It’s best to arrange for them to stay elsewhere during active work hours.


What Happens During Installation?

1. Material Delivery & Dumpster Drop-Off

Supplies and a dumpster will typically arrive a day or two before the project begins. We’ll coordinate delivery and let you know what space is needed.

2. Tear-Off

We remove your old roofing material top to bottom. It’s noisy but necessary—we need a clean surface for your new roof.

3. Structural Repairs

If we find any issues like rotted decking, damaged flashing, or leaks, we’ll fix them before laying down new materials.

4. Roof Installation

This is the loudest and most labor-intensive part. We install the underlayment, drip edges, flashing, and finally, your selected roofing material (shingles, tile, or metal). We finish with ridge caps, vents, and gutters.

5. Cleanup & Final Inspection

Once the new roof is in place, we thoroughly clean your property, remove all debris, and inspect every detail—from flashing to nail placement—to ensure everything meets our high standards.
