Average Roof Replacement Timeline in NJ
Most standard roof replacements in New Jersey take 1 to 3 days once work begins. However, planning, inspections, and material ordering can add several days or even weeks before that.
Here’s a general breakdown of the timeline:
-
Initial Inspection & Estimate – 1 day
-
Planning & Permits – 2–7 days
-
Material Delivery – 1–3 days
-
Tear-Off & Installation – 1–3 days
-
Final Cleanup & Inspection – 1 day
Let’s explore each of these phases in detail.
1. Inspection & Estimate (1 Day)
The first step is having a roofing expert visit your property. At All State Roofing & Chimney, our technician will inspect your current roof, identify any damage or leaks, and recommend whether full replacement is needed.
This visit usually takes less than an hour, and you’ll receive a detailed estimate the same or next day.

2. Planning, Permits & Scheduling (2–7 Days)
Once you approve the estimate:
-
We’ll help select your roofing materials (shingles, underlayment, etc.)
-
Secure the required permits from your town or city in NJ
-
Schedule your replacement date based on weather and crew availability
This process may take a few days to a week, depending on local regulations and permit processing times.
3. Material Delivery (1–3 Days)
We coordinate the delivery of roofing materials directly to your property. This can include:
-
Shingles (asphalt, metal, tile, etc.)
-
Flashing and vents
-
Underlayment and ice guard
-
Drip edges and ridge caps
This step is typically quick, but weather conditions or material backorders can cause delays. We keep you informed every step of the way.
4. Tear-Off & Roof Installation (1–3 Days)
This is the core phase of the roof replacement timeline. Once materials are on-site, our licensed and insured roofing crew gets to work:
-
Tear off your old shingles or roofing system
-
Inspect the decking and replace any rotted plywood
-
Install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles
-
Seal and vent the roof according to NJ codes
On average:
-
1 day for most asphalt shingle roofs (under 3,000 sq. ft.)
-
2–3 days for larger roofs or complex designs
-
+1 day if unexpected repairs are found underneath
All State Roofing & Chimney works quickly but never cuts corners. We prioritize quality, safety, and customer satisfaction on every project.
5. Cleanup & Final Inspection (1 Day)
After your new roof is installed, we conduct a thorough:
-
Debris removal and magnet sweep to collect nails
-
Gutter check and cleaning
-
Final inspection with photos and warranty documentation
We make sure your home is spotless and your roof is built to last.
