What Happens After You Sign a Roofing Contract: Timeline & Tips
You’ve chosen your roofer, reviewed the estimate, and signed the contract. Now what?
At Fox Roofing Company, we believe in keeping homeowners informed at every stage. Whether you’re in Irvine, Tustin, or anywhere in Orange County, knowing what comes next helps eliminate stress and ensure a smooth project.
Here’s what you can expect once you’ve signed on the dotted line—and a few tips to make the process easier.
📅 Step 1: Project Scheduling & Material Ordering
Timeline: 1–5 business days
After signing your contract, we’ll:
Confirm your preferred start date
Order materials (tile, shingles, underlayment, flashing, etc.)
Pull permits with your local city (Irvine, Costa Mesa, etc.)
📝 Tip: If you need HOA approval, start the paperwork now—we’ll help with any documents you need.
📦 Step 2: Material Delivery & Job Prep
Timeline: 1–2 days before your project begins
We’ll schedule the delivery of roofing materials directly to your home. You may notice:
Shingles or tile stacked on the roof
A dumpster bin dropped off
Protective coverings around landscaping or entryways
📝 Tip: Move cars out of the driveway and clear outdoor furniture if possible.
🔨 Step 3: Tear-Off & Roof Installation
Timeline: 2–4 days for most homes
This is where the real action happens. Our licensed crew will:
Remove your old roofing material
Inspect and repair the roof deck if needed
Install new underlayment, flashings, and ventilation
Complete the new tile or shingle installation
Clean up thoroughly each day
📝 Tip: Roofing is noisy! Plan errands or use headphones if you’ll be home.
🧹 Step 4: Final Cleanup & Walk-Through
Timeline: Day of completion
We’ll do a full jobsite sweep with magnets to collect nails and debris. Then we:
Walk you through the finished roof
Show you before/after photos
Provide your FOX Warranty and closeout documents
📝 Tip: Ask any questions! We’ll gladly explain every step we took.
