How long does a roof change take?

A couple years ago, my dad had her roof upgraded because it was over 25 years old, but and as someone who has no idea about roof upgradement, I wasn’t sure of how long the process would take, however in my head, a roof upgradement is a major project that should take at least a week to complete, but to my surprise her roof upgradement was completed in less than 3 afternoons.

In fact, on the fifth day, the roofers didn’t complete a full day, so technically it took two plus a half afternoons to do a full roof upgradement! My dad lives in a 2,100 square foot household which is around the average size of a household in the country plus based on what I learn online, it should take between 2 to 3 afternoons for a full roof upgradement, then of course, depending on the material used, some roof upgradements will take more time, then for instance, asphalt shingles, which is what my dad has on her roof, have one of the shortest replacement times, but however, tile, metal, or natural slate, takes much longer to install.

In fact, depending on weather and the square footage of a home, it could take up to 9 or more afternoons to install a concrete tile roof. And speaking of weather, it plays a sizable part in the time it takes for a roof upgradement, then weather can cause major delays for roofing dealers. Anyway, it’s wonderful to know that replacing a roof doesn’t take as long as I initially thought it would. And if I ever needed to get my roof upgraded, I know the process will take 2 to 3 afternoons, of course, weather permitting.
