How long does a typical roof installation take?
A standard asphalt residential roof in MetroWest is completed in 3–5 working days from tear-off to cleanup. Slate restoration and standing seam projects run longer (1–3 weeks). Speed matters: every additional day a roof sits open raises the risk of weather damage and call-backs.
- Day 1 — Tear-off, deck inspection, ice & water shield install
- Day 2 — Underlayment, drip edge, valley metal
- Day 3 — Field shingle install, ridge ventilation
- Day 4 — Flashings, accessories, punch-list
- Day 5 — Final cleanup, magnetic sweep, walkthrough
Does Palma Quality Roofing handle insurance claims?
Yes. Palma manages the entire insurance process — from documenting storm or impact damage with photo evidence to writing the scope of work, submitting supplements, and coordinating with the adjuster — so the homeowner is not negotiating with the carrier alone.
"Insurance work is half craft, half paperwork. The carrier needs to see exactly what failed and why, in their own language. That's our job, not yours."Dulio Palma · Founder, Palma Quality Roofing
What warranty comes with a Palma roof?
Every installation carries a 10-year Palma craftsmanship warranty covering installation defects, layered on top of the manufacturer's material warranty (up to 50 years on GAF systems). GAF Master Elite status — held by under 2% of US contractors per GAF (2024) — unlocks the extended Golden Pledge warranty option.
