When the Seci Construction roofing crew arrives, you can expect a quick check-in, property protection, an efficient material tear-off (if needed), organized installation, and a thorough cleanup—all typically completed within one to two days for most shingle roof projects. 

Our residential roofing experts from Seci Construction Inc. know that having workers at your home can be stressful, leaving your family left with uncertainties on timing and how roof work will impact your household.

Join us as we explain what homeowners can expect on the day of roof repair or roof replacement services—from arrival to final sweep. 

Seci Construction Inc.'s roofing crew typically begins roofing project set-up process between 7:30–8:00 a.m., covering all areas surrounding the home with tarps and protective materials to shield siding, landscaping, and driveways from falling debris.

A dedicated onsite project manager—your single point of contact from start to finish—arrives around 9:30 a.m. to inspect the roof framing and decking as tear-off begins. This early inspection stage ensures all wood sections are structurally sound before installation and allows time for any necessary adjustments or improvements to be made before new materials are applied.

Unlike many roofing companies, Seci Construction Inc. proudly provides a fully dedicated onsite project manager to remain on the job from start to finish. Your project manager is essential to verifying structure, monitoring progress, and guiding you through every step of the day.

This commitment to transparency, efficiency, and communication makes your roofing experience simple, convenient, and stress-free.

Asphalt shingles, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation materials and components are staged to keep walkways clear. A roll-off dumpster is positioned to streamline roofing debris removal. Safety setup—harnesses, ladder stabilizers, and caution markers—helps keep everyone safe on a busy worksite.

Your dedicated project manager from Seci Contruction, Inc monitors every stage of this setup to verify all safety standards are met and to maintain an organized work environment throughout the day.

Roofers will typically drape protective nets or tarps along the perimeter of the home to catch nails and debris. Plywood or bumpers protect siding at ladder touch points. Inside the house, you may want to remove items from sloped ceilings or attic rafters, as vibrations can shift unsecured décor.

Once site protection is verified, our roofers begin the full roof removal process under supervision from the project manager, ensuring all demolition is controlled and clean.

A solid roof starts with what you can’t see. During tear-off, the team removes worn shingles and underlayment, then repairs any soft or damaged decking before moving on. This ensures the new roof bonds to a sound, code-compliant surface for long-term performance.

At Seci Construction Inc, the process is carefully sequenced to ensure precision and transparency at each step of your total roof replacement.

If a total roof replacement is scheduled, shingles and old underlayment materials are removed in sections. After removal, any repaired or replaced decking listed in your contract is installed immediately, restoring full structural integrity before underlayment is laid.

With the roof opened, your roofing contractors check sheathing for soft spots, de-lamination, or previous water damage. Any compromised areas are replaced so the new roofing system bonds to a solid, code-compliant surface. Critical leak points—valleys, skylights, pipe boots, and chimneys—are evaluated.

This is where your dedicated project manager may make final recommendations to optimize roof performance before moving forward with waterproofing layers.

During this phase of a roof replacement, our roof techs install underlayment and ice/water shield, set starter rows, then lay shingles to manufacturer specs. They then balance intake and exhaust ventilation so the roof sheds water, resists wind, and controls attic heat and moisture.

Ice and water shield installation follows—6 feet at eaves, 3 feet at valleys and all intersections (including around chimneys). Starter shingles and F-style metal drip edge are installed to protect your home from water intrusion and wicking. A high-performance underlayment is then applied to seal the wood decking beneath.

Before shingle installation begins, base flashing is placed in critical transition points such as valleys, skylights, sidewalls, and around roof penetrations. This layer forms the foundation of the roof’s waterproofing system, directing rain and melting snow safely down the roof plane.

Seci Contruction Inc's crews install shingles in a zigzag formation for precise symmetry and clean visual lines. Once shingle installation is complete, vent pipes, flashing, counter-flashing, ridge vents, power fans, and any project-specific add-ons are installed.

Ridge vents, box vents, or attic fans (as applicable) are installed or updated. Balanced intake and exhaust help regulate attic temperatures, reduce moisture, and support shingle longevity.

Counter-flashing is installed over vertical joints such as chimneys, dormers, and sidewalls. This secondary barrier covers and seals the upper edge of the base flashing, preventing water from backing up behind it. Seci Construction’s crews precision-cut and embed counter-flashing into mortar joints or siding seams for a watertight finish that complements the new roof’s clean, professional appearance.

By the end of the day, our roofers will wrap up your project sometime around 5:00-6:00pm, depending on the complexity of the project and if any issues arise.

Seci Contruction Inc's crew completes a full post-op inspection at the end of the day, including a magnetic sweep and thorough gutter and liner cleanup to remove all debris. Once tarps and protective materials are taken down, your dedicated project manager conducts a complete walkthrough with you to confirm your satisfaction with your new roof.

Only after you’re completely satisfied with our work do you sign the Certificate of Completion (COC) and remit final payment. Once processed, you’ll receive your warranty documentation and receipt for records. This transparent, homeowner-first process ensures every customer finishes the day confident in both craftsmanship and communication.

Knowing what the workday feels like helps homeowners plan for comfort and safety.

Expect power tools, compressors, hammering, and occasional vibration as old materials are removed. Most homeowners prefer to schedule calls or naps away from the noisiest windows during working hours.

Ladders, cords, and tarps create temporary traffic patterns. Your roofing project lead will point out access routes and areas to avoid so the team can move materials safely and efficiently.

Your roofers will monitor local radar closely. If weather conditions threaten installation quality, the roof is secured and made watertight, with the schedule adjusted to finish promptly under better weather.

At Seci Construction Inc., most complete roof replacement projects are completed in just one day—from 8 a.m. until roughly 5 or 6 p.m.—with a dedicated project manager overseeing all five stages of work on your property and ensuring constant communication with you throughout the process.

A little prep goes a long way on roofing day. Use this quick checklist to protect your belongings, streamline access for the team, and keep your household comfortable while work is underway: 

Crews use tarps, nets, and careful staging to protect plantings and hardscapes. If you have especially delicate areas, point them out during the walkthrough so extra precautions are added.

If a pop-up shower rolls in, the team secures open sections to remain watertight and resumes full installation when conditions are safe. Your project leader will communicate timing changes.

Yes. Many homeowners remain on site, but plan for noise and limited driveway access. If you work from home, choose rooms farthest from the active roof area.

Magnetic sweeps occur throughout the day and at final cleanup. Still, give lawns and beds a quick once-over before letting pets or children roam, just in case a stray fastener hides in the grass.
