How soon can you start?
Although it would be unrealistic to publish a standard answer to this question, it’s one every homeowner naturally wants to know, so we can publish some general guidelines to give you the best answer possible before you call us. We will say up front that you will have an exact answer to that question when you get a proposal from us.
There are some seasonal consistencies to help give you an idea what to expect:
- In the winter and early spring, we can usually install your new roof within 1-2 weeks
- In the late spring, summer, and fall, you should expect about 2-4 weeks to have your new roof installed
There are rare occasions where we can schedule your roof for the next day but we are a one day roofing company, not usually a next day roofing company. It should be noted that companies that are too anxious to get your roof done quickly tend to also be the ones you shouldn’t hire. Reputable roofers are not desperate for work and you should expect similar lead times for any of them.
What about building permits?
The two most common questions we get about permits for a roofing project are:
- Will I need a building permit for a new roof?
- If so, who will be pulling the permit?
Let’s proceed to answer those questions.
Will I need a building permit for a new roof?
The short answer is most likely. Our average is about 80% of the time a permit is required. To answer definitively, it depends on the city or township of your home. We can however simplify it for you. If required, it will be part of your proposal automatically when we quote your roof. You’ll never have to worry about hidden charges but we can’t promise the same thing with other roofers.
Even though you won’t have to worry about the process, here are a few bits of information you may be interested in knowing about. Most municipalities require a final inspection which we will make you aware of in advance of doing your project. Sometimes, an “open roof inspection” is also required to assure proper compliance under your shingles.
No matter what kind of permits and inspections are required, Victors Home Solutions will have you breathing a sigh of relief you won’t have to be concerned about it.
Who will be pulling any required permit?
We take care of all permits and arrange any necessary inspections. While we no longer include the permit costs in our estimate due to the large variability of permit costs in the area, we will go over any additional costs incurred by the permits with you. Not only do we have great working relationships with the permit authorities, we are experienced and familiar with pulling permits-less stress for you!
