How long does a typical roof replacement take?

Three to five days, depending on complexity. A four-dormer Cape with multi-angled roofing was completed in this timeframe.

Do you hand-nail shingles?

Yes. Ridgefield Roofing hand-nails every fastening with no nail guns, allowing eyes on each fastening to prevent over- or underdriving and leaks.

Will you work around scheduling needs like noise-sensitive pets?

Yes. Reviewers report Gary texted in advance before work started to accommodate customer requests, and the crew was accommodating during the job.
