All together the average timeline is about a month to a month and a half, give or take. The length of time it takes to get the roofing permit issued by the city/county jurisdiction can cause the timeline to vary by a few weeks. The full process includes 5 parts as listed below:
- Site Survey: Initial Site Inspection (1-3 Days) Our team verifies site conditions, takes photos and detailed measurements, and assesses other environmental dynamics if needed.
- Project Acceptance and Notice to Proceed (2-4 Days) After the project has been verified, the finance company reviews the file and grants Notice to Proceed (NTP) with the project. ESP will review the site survey report and confirm that the roofing installation is possible.
- Permit: Municipality Building Department Approval (3-14 Days) Final drawings are submitted to your local municipality’s building and construction safety departments. Many cities review and approve plans the same day, or in a few days, but some cities can take weeks. Similarly, utility submittal and approval processes and timelines vary.
Note that any open permit, code enforcement ticket, or any issues concerning unpermitted structures on the property site will cause your local municipality to put a hold on the roofing permit. When starting a project, please ensure that all open permit requests you may have with your local municipalities are closed out so we can get to work promptly for you.
- Install: Delivery & Setup of Roofing Materials (3-14 Days) Once approvals are received, your project manager will call to schedule the delivery and set-up of your new roof. The on-site work will typically take about one to three days, depending on the roof size and other conditions. Our crews are trained, licensed and bonded, technically skilled, and highly experienced.
- Inspection: Municipality Inspections & Signoffs (1-3 Weeks) The local municipality needs to approve our handiwork. Your project manager will call and arrange a time to have an inspector from the local municipality come out to review your roof. This may take more than one inspection, in the event that adjustments are required.
