When planning a roofing project, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is:
“How long will it take to install my new roof?”
The answer depends on the type of shingles, roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. At Scaffs India, we’ve helped homeowners across Kerala complete roofing projects efficiently — without compromising on quality.
Factors That Affect Installation Time
Before diving into shingle types, here are key factors that influence project duration:
Roof size & slope → Larger or steeper roofs take more time.
Weather conditions → Kerala’s rains can delay work.
Old roof removal → Tearing off existing layers adds extra days.
Complexity → Cottages, A-frames, and villas often need careful detailing.
