You may not think the number of roofing projects your roofer accepts in a day, week, or month matters. But the truth is? It can have a massive effect on the quality of your roof.

But in truth, it matters a great deal! Here’s why you should ask your roofers exactly how many projects they’ll be working on this week, before you decide to hire them. 

How do extra projects impact the quality of a roof?

Many roofers take up to two projects per day. While any roofing company can certainly dispatch two crews, most roofers have only one owner who can be on-site at a time.

We take one roofing project per day. Our owner, Daniel, is on-site from start to finish.

He carries expertise. And furthermore, he has the authority to approve better work. For example, while we tell our guys to replace rotted spots on the decking wherever they find them, even if it means a little less profit for us, they usually still want to check in.

With Daniel there to say, “Yes, of course,” they do a better job on the roof and the homeowner gets 20+ more years of superior protection, all because the job has been done right. 

He can also answer the homeowner’s questions, inspect the materials, and make sure that the crew picks up every nail and piece of scrap before he goes.

Does owner oversight help with the warranty?

Yes! 

The manufacturer’s warranty is one of the most overlooked aspects of a roofing project. Most of the premium shingle manufacturers we use, like Owens Corning or GAF, have incredibly strict installation requirements.

If a nail is driven at the wrong angle or the underlayment isn’t lapped correctly, the manufacturer can void the warranty entirely.

When a roofing company manages multiple crews against different job sites, the oversight is spread thin. Errors in the “hidden” parts of the roof—like the flashing or the starter shingles—often go unnoticed until a leak occurs years later. 

By focusing on one project at a time, Daniel ensures that every specific requirement for your chosen roofing system is met to the letter, protecting your long-term investment and keeping your warranty intact.

Real-time Problem Solving Matters

Roofing is often a game of discovery.

It’s not until the old shingles are stripped away that we get to see the true state of the roof deck.

In a high-volume business model, a crew might find a problem and try to “work around it,” all so they can stay on schedule for their afternoon job. Or they might stop work entirely while waiting for a supervisor to drive across town to authorize a change order.

Having the owner on-site eliminates this friction. When a problem is discovered, it is addressed in the moment. This “one-at-a-time” focus prevents the project from dragging into a second or third day, which reduces the amount of time your home is exposed to the elements and minimizes disruption to your daily life.
