If you’ve never had a roof replaced before, the process might seem overwhelming. We’re here to make it simple.


Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what happens when you hire Dan The Shingle Man Roofing:

Step 1: Free Roof Replacement Estimate & Consultation

We come out to assess your current roof, show you material options, and take accurate measurements. You’ll get a clear, itemized quote.

Step 2: Permits & Scheduling

Once approved, we’ll pull all necessary permits and place the material order. We’ll work with you to schedule a start date that fits your timeline.

Step 3: Tear-Off & Inspection

Our crew removes your old roofing materials down to the decking. We inspect the wood beneath for signs of rot or damage and replace any compromised sheets.

Step 4: Installation

  • Underlayment is laid down to waterproof your deck

  • Flashings and vents are sealed

  • Shingles, tiles, or panels are installed according to manufacturer and code standards

Step 5: Cleanup & Final Inspection

We perform a thorough magnetic sweep, clean up all debris, and schedule a final city/county inspection to officially close out the job.


Throughout the process, our project manager stays in contact with you to answer questions and provide updates. You’ll also get warranty information and a post-installation care guide.
