How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take in Summer?
Summer is prime time for roof replacements in Orange County. The weather’s dry, the days are long, and homeowners across Irvine, Tustin, and Costa Mesa are booking projects left and right.
But one of the first questions we get is:
“How long will it take to replace my roof?”
At Fox Roofing Company, we believe in transparency. Here's what really affects your timeline—and what you can expect if you’re planning a summer roof replacement.
🕒 Average Roof Replacement Timeline
Most standard residential roof replacements take 4 to 5 days from start to finish.
That includes:
Material delivery
Tear-off of the old roof
Inspection of the roof deck
Installation of new underlayment and materials
Cleanup and final walk-through
Larger or more complex roofs (multiple levels, steep pitch, or specialty materials) can take 4–6 days or more.
☀️ Why Summer Is a Smart Time for Speed
Here’s why roof work often moves faster in summer:
Longer daylight hours = more time on the roof
Dry conditions reduce weather delays
Crew availability is higher at the start of the season
Warm temps help adhesives and sealants cure properly
Pro tip: Book early in the summer to avoid the late-season rush that can stretch timelines.
🧱 What Can Slow Down a Roof Project?
Even in summer, a few things can impact the timeline:
Rotten wood decking discovered under shingles or tile
Multiple layers of old roofing that need removal
Permit processing delays from local cities
Change orders or upgrades requested mid-project
Excessive attic heat that requires midday breaks for crew safety
At Fox Roofing Company, we anticipate these possibilities and keep you informed every step of the way.
