Once you’ve decided to replace your roof, the next question is usually about time: how long will your home be a worksite? There’s a range, but here’s a realistic picture for homeowners in the Waukesha area.

Quick answer

  • A typical, average-sized home is usually done in about two days.
  • Larger, more detailed projects can take up to a week or a bit more.
  • In-house crews keep the work efficient and consistent.
  • You’ll get a clear timeline with your estimate.

The typical timeline

For a common, average-sized home, our crew can typically complete the job within two days — and many are done even faster. On average, plan on a day or two for a typical home in the Waukesha area.

When projects take longer

Larger or more detailed projects can take up to a week, or in some cases a little beyond that, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Because Endurance Exteriors uses in-house crews trained by owner Ryan Ketchum — rather than subcontractors — the work stays efficient and consistent from start to finish.
