During Construction

A Certified Roofers representative will stop by to drop off the permit and a yard sign, generally the day before production begins.

The most important thing to know during a roof replacement is that it is an active construction site. There will be an incredible amount of commotion, with a full crew of trained roofers working diligently to replace your roof.
At most job sites we will have a dump trailer positioned as closely as possible to the roof line on the driveway. The garage and driveway should be considered unusable for the duration of the project. Depending on the schedule of the hauling team the trailer is often delivered the day before we start, and permanently removed the day after work is completed.
There will be significant amounts of debris being tossed in the trailer, including extremely dangerous nails and fragments of wood. Our goal is to always minimize the amount of debris outside the trailer, it is very common for the area surrounding the trailer to be very dangerous for homeowners (children and pets specifically).
Our crews take preventive measures to minimize the damage to landscaping, pool equipment and AC units by installing perforated tarps atop the most perilous locations. Our goal is to get as much debris directly into the trailer as possible, but we are working on a sloped surface at heights over 10 feet and gravity alone will pull debris off the roof and onto the ground below.
Our crews generally arrive some time between 7-8am and will often work until daylight leaves. This makes for particularly long days in the Summer when we have daylight past 6pm.
The crew will usually take a lunch break midday and will likely try to find shade wherever they can to rest and cool off. The work they are doing is extremely difficult and strenuous.
At the end of every day the crew will do a cursory clean up of the yard and driveway. The extensive cleanup happens at the end of the project. This cleanup will include the use of an industrial strength magnet to pick any possible remaining nails. While our goal is always 100%, it is extremely difficult to get every one of the thousands we have removed from your roof.
Our teams are trained to provide the absolute best customer experience they can. Roofing by nature is difficult and destructive, but our team exceeds expectations and makes every effort to honor the home and its owners during the process.
Our production team is led by our Superintendent Damian Lopez who will personally visit every job daily. He will communicate any issues or concerns timely. Damian has been with Certified Roofers for almost 20 years and is an expert in all aspects of roofing.
Working in tandem with Damian is our Assistant Superintendent Markes Lopez, who will also visit job sites daily. Markes will also be in close contact with our customers throughout the process.
Our goal is to keep you updated on the progress of the job and to alert you to any unexpected variables for each project we work on.
