The Roofing Process

Replacing a shingle roof is one of the most important investments a homeowner can make. A properly installed roofing system protects your home, improves curb appeal, increases resale value, and provides long-lasting defense against Texas weather — especially hail, heat, and high winds.

Still, many homeowners worry about what to expect during the process:
How long does it take? What happens first? What about cleanup? Who handles the insurance side?

At Concord Roofing and Construction, we believe roof replacement should be stress-free, transparent, and well-communicated from start to finish. Below is a clear look at the entire shingle roofing process, so you know exactly what to expect when working with us.

1. Requesting Your Free Roof Inspection & Estimate

Every project begins with a free roof inspection by one of our trained roofing specialists.

During the visit, we:

• Examine shingles, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and roof decking
• Inspect all high-risk leak points (pipes, chimneys, skylights, ridge caps)
• Check the attic for moisture or insulation damage
• Identify storm-related issues or age-based wear

Once the inspection is complete, we provide:
✔ A detailed summary of the roof condition
✔ Photos of areas that need attention
✔ A fair and transparent estimate — never inflated or misleading

If the roof was damaged by hail or wind, we’ll also discuss insurance claim options and guide you through the process if needed.

2. Material Selection — Choosing the Right Roofing System

After you approve the estimate (or once the insurance approval arrives), the next step is selecting materials.

We present homeowners with options based on:

• Shingle brand and style
• Color and architectural appearance
• Impact-resistant upgrades (optional)
• Manufacturer warranties
• Long-term performance and budget goals

Popular choices include:

• Architectural asphalt shingles
• Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles
• Energy-efficient shingles for Texas heat
• Designer shingles with luxury appearance

We’ll show physical samples and examples of roofs we’ve completed in your area to help you decide.

3. Scheduling Your Roof Installation

Once materials are selected, we:

• Order products directly from trusted suppliers
• Coordinate delivery to your property
• Plan installation based on weather conditions

You’ll receive a clear installation date and timeline — no guessing, no uncertainty.
Most standard shingle roofs in North Texas are installed in one to two days, depending on size and complexity.

4. Preparing Your Home and Property

On installation day, our crew arrives early to protect your home and landscaping.

We take steps to ensure safety and cleanliness, including:

• Covering landscaping and flowerbeds
• Protecting windows and siding
• Moving or shielding patio furniture and outdoor décor
• Setting up tarps and drop cloths to collect debris

We respect your home — and we treat it like our own.

5. Removing the Old Roof (Tear-Off Phase)

We remove all existing roofing material down to the decking so a brand-new system — not a layer on top of an old roof — can be built.

During tear-off we:

• Remove shingles, nails, felt, and underlayment
• Inspect the deck thoroughly for rot or soft spots
• Replace any damaged boards before installing new materials

This ensures the new roof is built on a solid, lasting foundation.

6. Installing the New Roofing System

A quality roof is more than just shingles — it’s a complete weather-resistant system working together.

Your new roofing system includes:

• Synthetic underlayment for waterproofing
• Ice and water barrier in high-risk areas
• Starter strip shingles around exposed edges
• Field shingles installed with precise nail patterning
• Ventilation system installation or upgrade
• Ridge caps and finishing shingles

Every step is completed to manufacturer specifications, protecting material warranties and long-term performance.

7. Job-Site Cleanup and Final Inspection

When installation is complete, we perform a meticulous cleanup.

This includes:

• Full magnet sweep of yard, driveway, and flowerbeds for nails
• Removal of all tarps, debris, and packaging
• Inspection of gutters, porches, and walkways
• Relocation of outdoor furniture to original position

Then we perform a quality assurance inspection to verify:

• Proper shingle alignment
• Secure flashing and ventilation
• Warranty-eligible installation requirements
• Sealed penetrations around piping and fixtures

We don’t leave until everything is correct — and you’re informed and satisfied.

8. Warranty Registration & Long-Term Support

After completion, you receive:

• Proof of installation for your records
• Material and workmanship warranty information
• Photos of the finished project
• Maintenance recommendations to extend roof life

We remain available for service, inspections, and storm support long after installation — not just on installation day.
