The length of time to replace a roof depends on several factors. Weather (rain and wind), style of roof (material used) and the height of the roof. We allow an average of 2-3 days for a standard sized roof, or 3 to 4 days for a large or unusual designed roof.

Once again, each of these have their pro’s and con’s and it is recommended that you make your own mind up as to your preference.
