How Long Does It Take to Replace a Roof? (Residential Roofing Timeline in Florida)

If you're planning a roof replacement in Florida, one of the first questions you'll probably ask is:

How long should it take to replace my roof?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1 to 2 days.

But several factors can affect how long it takes:

  • Size of the roof – Larger homes need more time.

  • Roof pitch (steepness) – Steeper roofs require more safety gear and careful handling.

  • Type of roofing material – Asphalt shingles are quicker to install than tile or metal.

  • Weather delays – Florida’s rain and humidity can impact timelines.

  • Access to the roof – Tight spaces or landscaping may slow down setup.

At Roof Nuts, we move fast without sacrificing quality. Our crews work efficiently and keep the site clean during and after installation. You'll get regular updates from start to finish—so you're never left wondering what's happening on your property.

FAQ

Can my roof be replaced in one day?

Yes, many standard asphalt shingle roofs can be fully replaced in a single day, depending on size and layout. We’ll let you know exactly what to expect during your free estimate.

Will someone need to be home during the roof replacement?

No. You don’t need to be home, but we do recommend being available by phone for quick decisions or questions.

What if it rains during my roof replacement?

Florida weather can be unpredictable. We closely monitor forecasts and won’t tear off your roof unless we know we can cover it safely. If needed, we tarp it securely and resume work as soon as it’s dry.

How do I know when my roof needs to be replaced?

Watch for signs like:

  • Missing or curled shingles

  • Leaks or water stains on ceilings

  • Sagging or soft spots

  • Your roof is 15–20+ years old

We’ll do a free inspection to let you know if a full replacement is really needed.
