A roof replacement is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home—and also one of the most important. But if you’ve never been through the process before, it can feel overwhelming. How long will it take? What’s involved? Will your home be protected during construction?
At Blue Fox Roofing & Renovations, we believe replacing your roof shouldn’t come with guesswork. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us to handle your project—every step of the way.
Step 1: Inspection and Honest Evaluation
Before we talk about replacement, we start with a detailed roof inspection. We examine:
-
Shingle condition and granule loss
-
Flashing around vents and chimneys
-
Signs of leaks, rot, or structural damage
-
Attic ventilation and insulation
-
Overall age and performance of your roof system
If your roof still has years of life left, we’ll tell you. But if the damage is widespread or your shingles are past their lifespan, we’ll explain why replacement makes sense—and what it will take to do it right.

Step 2: Clear Estimate and Timeline
After your inspection, we provide a clear, detailed estimate that outlines:
-
Materials to be used (including upgrade options)
-
Work scope and timeline
-
Warranty information
-
Cleanup procedures
-
Cost breakdown with no hidden fees
We also walk you through the timeline, which typically ranges from 1 to 3 days depending on roof size, weather, and material selection.
Step 3: Preparation and Protection
Before the first shingle is removed, our team prepares your property to minimize disruption and protect what matters. We:
-
Cover landscaping and flower beds
-
Protect windows and siding
-
Set up proper waste collection and disposal
-
Notify you of any necessary prep inside the home (e.g., attic items, wall decor)
We take pride in working clean and leaving your yard the way we found it—or better.
Step 4: Tear-Off and Inspection
We remove all old roofing materials down to the decking. This allows us to inspect the structure underneath and identify any hidden damage.
If we find soft or rotted wood, we’ll replace it before installing the new roofing system. This ensures your new shingles are fastened to a solid, lasting foundation.
Step 5: New Roof Installation
We install your new roof using top-quality materials from trusted brands like Owens Corning. Every system includes:
-
Ice and water shield
-
Synthetic underlayment
-
Proper flashing and ventilation
-
High-performance shingles in the color and style of your choice
Our crew works efficiently, respects your property, and keeps you updated throughout the project.
Step 6: Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
When the job is done, we perform a full site cleanup—including magnet sweeps for nails and debris removal. Then we walk the project with you to ensure:
-
Everything looks and performs as expected
-
All materials are installed correctly
-
You understand your warranty coverage and care instructions
At Blue Fox Roofing, we don’t leave until you’re confident in the results.
