What to Expect During a Roof Replacement Project

At Mock 3 Performance Roofing, we’re committed to making every step of the roof replacement process clear, efficient, and worry-free for Florida homeowners. Here’s what you can expect from start to finish.

📝 1. Initial Roof Inspection & Estimate

Every project begins with a thorough roof inspection. Our team evaluates the condition of your current roof, checks for leaks, signs of damage, and assesses the materials best suited for your home’s structure and Florida’s climate.

After the inspection, we’ll provide a detailed written estimate that outlines:

The scope of work
Recommended materials (shingle, tile, metal, etc.)
Timeline for the project
Cost breakdown
Warranty details

This is also the perfect time to ask questions and review available roofing options with our team.

📋 2. Permits & Preparation

In Florida, roof replacements typically require permits due to strict building codes, especially in areas prone to hurricanes. We handle the permit application process on your behalf to ensure everything is up to code.

We also help you prepare your home for installation:

Move vehicles away from the work zone
Secure outdoor furniture and fragile items
Remove items from attic spaces if needed

Our team takes care to protect your landscaping and property during the process.

🧰 3. Tear-Off of the Old Roof

The first major step in the actual replacement is the removal of your existing roofing materials. Our crew strips down the old shingles, underlayment, and any deteriorated materials, taking care to minimize debris.

This phase can be noisy, but it typically takes only 1–2 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. All waste and debris are carefully collected and hauled away as part of our cleanup protocol.

🔍 4. Inspection of Roof Decking

Once the roof is stripped, we inspect the roof decking (the wooden structure beneath your roofing material) for signs of rot, water damage, or weakness. Damaged sections are replaced to ensure a solid foundation for your new roof.

This step is critical for ensuring your new roof lasts and performs as expected.

🧱 5. Installation of New Roofing System

This is when your new roof starts to take shape! Depending on your chosen materials (shingles, tile, or metal), our skilled installers follow a step-by-step process that includes:

Installing a high-performance underlayment for moisture protection
Adding flashing and drip edges to reinforce vulnerable areas
Placing your selected roofing material using code-compliant fastening methods
Sealing and finishing ridge caps and vents for proper ventilation

We pay close attention to detail to ensure durability, energy efficiency, and beauty.

🧹 6. Cleanup & Final Inspection

Once installation is complete, we conduct a thorough cleanup of your property, including removing nails, leftover materials, and debris. We use powerful magnets to scan for stray metal and ensure your lawn and driveway are clear and safe.

Finally, we perform a detailed final inspection to ensure every aspect of the roof meets our quality standards and Florida building code requirements. You’ll receive documentation, warranty information, and a walkthrough of what was done.

⏳ 7. Timeline Expectations

Most Florida roof replacement projects can be completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on size, weather conditions, and complexity. Permits and inspections may add a day or two, but our team works hard to stay on schedule without sacrificing quality.

🔒 8. Warranties & Ongoing Support

A new roof is a major investment, and we stand behind our work with strong manufacturer warranties and optional workmanship guarantees. Should any issues arise after installation, Mock 3 Performance Roofing is just a phone call away.
