Speed vs. Quality in Residential Roof Installation — Can You Have Both?

When it’s time to replace your roof, one of the first questions homeowners ask is: How long will it take? Speed matters — no one wants their home exposed longer than necessary. But when a roof is installed too quickly without proper attention to detail, it can lead to costly callbacks, leaks, and premature repairs.

At Chandler’s Roofing, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between speed and quality. With the right systems, training, and materials, it’s possible to have both. Here’s how we make it happen.

Why Quality Can’t Be Sacrificed

While it might seem faster to rush a roof installation, cutting corners almost always costs more in the long run. Poor workmanship can mean:

  • Leaks and water damage inside your home
  • Shingles not sealing properly, leaving your roof vulnerable to wind
  • Shortened roof lifespan, leading to premature replacement
  • Increased callbacks and wasted time

Our philosophy? Do it right the first time. A properly installed roof not only protects your home but also saves money and stress in the future.


How We Balance Speed and Quality

Over our decades of experience, we’ve found that the key to efficiency without compromising craftsmanship comes down to four main practices:

1. Proper Training and Onboarding

We invest heavily in training our crews. Every installer learns Chandler’s Roofing standards from day one, ensuring consistency and craftsmanship across every project.

2. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Every step of a roof installation is outlined and followed — from how we install drip edge to how we secure each shingle. This keeps the entire crew on the same page and eliminates guesswork.

3. Independent Inspections

Our work is regularly inspected to ensure quality. This isn’t just a quick check by the installer — we verify installations through dedicated team leads or third-party inspections when needed.

4. Fair and Motivating Compensation

We reward accuracy and compliance with our quality standards. Crews aren’t just encouraged to work quickly — they’re recognized for doing it right.


The Role of Advanced Roofing Products

The materials we use also make a big difference. Innovations from trusted manufacturers like GAF help us deliver roofs that are both faster to install and stronger over time.

Some of the products we recommend include:

  • GAF Timberline® HDZ™ Shingles — Featuring the StrikeZone™ nailing area for up to 99.9% nailing accuracy, and LayerLock™ technology for superior strength.
  • Hip and Ridge Cap Shingles — Pre-perforated for easier application, saving time while ensuring a clean finish.
  • GAF Deck-Armor™ Roof Deck Protection — Wider rolls mean faster installation, while alignment guides improve accuracy and traction.

These products help us streamline installation without ever cutting corners on durability.


The Bottom Line: You Deserve Both
