Frequently Asked Questions

What occurs subsequent to selecting Schick Roofing? What takes place after I make the decision to go with Schick Roofing for my roofing needs?

After you have chosen Schick Roofing as your contractor for the roofing project, please proceed to sign and send back the contract. Once we have received the contract, a member of our team will reach out to you for an in-person discussion. During this meeting, we will go over the color options for the materials and gather the necessary notarized permit forms from the local municipality. Rest assured, we will handle all the required permits and inspections with your county's building department. Additionally, you will be able to make your deposit payment during this appointment.

Could you please let me know when I will receive an update on the progress of my roofing project?

During the first week after the project begins, we will send you an email to validate your start date and the time when our crew will arrive. Additionally, we will give you precise instructions concerning where to place the construction dumpster, how to handle material deliveries, and other significant details.

Is it necessary for me to obtain HOA approval? Do I require HOA approval?

If you plan to re-roof your house or choose a different color and manufacturer, it is important to note that the architectural review committee of your homeowner's association may require approval. The process and timeline for obtaining this approval may vary among different HOAs, so it is recommended to get in touch with your homeowner's association office for more specific details. Based on our past experiences, it is common for HOAs to prefer dealing directly with the property owners rather than authorizing roofing contractors to obtain the necessary approval.

What information should I provide to your Schick Roofing representative ahead of time?

  • Kindly inform your Schick Roofing representative about any re-pipe, electrical, water, AC, or fire suppression lines that have been installed in the attic. It is essential to identify them accurately before commencing the installation of new fasteners.
  • Please inform us if you possess an irrigation system, specifically a sprinkler system. In that case, kindly indicate the location of the sprinkler heads.
  • Mark the position of your septic tank, if you possess one.

What can I anticipate during the roofing project? What should I anticipate throughout the roofing project?

Usually, once the project commences, it is typically finished in a span of 3-5 days. This specific timeframe begins upon the arrival of the workers on your premises and extends until the completion of the last cleaning and inspection. Throughout this duration, anticipate a substantial amount of noise caused by the removal of the previous roof and the installation of the new roof.

What steps should I take to get my home or office interior ready for my upcoming roofing project?

  • Kindly take into consideration the option of temporarily housing your pets who might feel stressed due to loud noises or unfamiliar individuals being present on the premise. Please take into account the possibility of boarding your pets who may undergo anxiety or tension due to noise disturbances or unfamiliar individuals on the premises.
  • Ensure that any items placed on the walls are properly secured to avoid potential damage from excessive vibrations. Take necessary steps to protect these items and prevent any potential harm caused by extreme vibrations.
  • Avoid arming security systems, as the activation of vibrations typically results in the alarm being triggered.
  • It is advised to either remove valuable items or provide appropriate covering for the items kept in the attic.
  • There is a possibility that during the re-roof process, including activities like replacing rotted wood and removing flashings, incidental debris may fall due to vibrations. Our technicians may not have the means to detect or reach this debris.

When will my roofing project commence? When will my roofing project start?

By optimizing work during the cooler hours of the day, workers will commence their tasks early and continue until late. The standard duration of our workday generally spans from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., although this timeframe may vary depending on factors such as job location, weather conditions, and the current season.

After completing your roofing project, there are a few things you can expect.

Please ensure that all necessary paperwork, including your permit, is prominently displayed until you receive notification from Schick Roofing that it can be taken down. A Building Inspector will conduct a comprehensive inspection to finalize the permit. To complete this inspection successfully, the inspector will need to refer to the information contained in the displayed paperwork. The duration of final inspections may vary, usually lasting up to 14 days, depending on municipal regulations. It is crucial that the property owner or tenant does not remove the paperwork prematurely, as it may result in a failed final inspection and the imposition of additional fees that the property owner must bear.

We will arrange the collection of the construction dumpster upon project completion and provide you with updates on the collection progress. Kindly acknowledge that the pick-up of the dumpster may experience a minor delay, depending on the timing of the project's completion. After the dumpster has been retrieved, we will send a representative to conduct a thorough inspection of your property, ensuring that all nails, debris, and any remaining materials have been cleared out. Once this process is finalized, we will inform you that it is safe to utilize the driveway.

How is payment handled?

Upon the completion of the project, we will prepare and send you an invoice. Once we have received full payment, we will give you a notarized Contractor's Final Affidavit to prove that all lienors listed in the direct contract have been paid in full. Additionally, we will also provide you with your warranty paperwork for both the materials and workmanship.

What if the appearance of my shingles is less than perfect? What if the shingles on my roof do not look flawless?

As soon as the job is finished, you might observe minor imperfections on the shingles. Please don't worry, as this is perfectly normal. It typically takes around 60 to 90 days for the adhesive on the shingles to completely cure and for them to become smooth. Additionally, it is common to experience some granule loss after the initial rainfall and for the next few months. This is nothing out of the ordinary; it occurs when extra granules from the packaging become loose.

What happens if I require a Wind Mitigation Report for insurance objectives?

It is highly advised to reach out to a third-party entity in order to carry out the inspection. Please ensure you contact a reliable and trustworthy organization to conduct the necessary assessment.
