In general, the only thing that drastically effects the timeline is weather conditions and whether or not we have to completely replace the roof, or just repair it. But, on average, for a typical residential home, the process takes no longer than a day or two. For a commercial job with thousands of square feet of roof, the job can take a week or longer.

A roofing underlayment is typically a membrane that goes under the roof covering to help protect against weather, primarily water intrusion. The most typical underlayment comes in rolls and is attached via rink shank nails or simplex nails, this type of membrane is usually called 30# (Which referrers to the thickness of the paper used). The other type of underlayment used is adhered directly to the deck of the roof and is considered by most insurance companies to be a secondary water barrier, it's called "peel and stick". The underlayment is the one piece of your roofing system that is solely designed to water proof your roof. This is true for all typical housing roofs. However, metal and flat roof designs incorporate other processes that drain water and prevent it from seeping into your home.

Installing a new roof over the top of an existing one is generally acceptable under a few conditions. 1.) A building cannot have more than two roofs at a time 2.) No wet insulation can be left in place 3.) The roof structure must be able to handle the additional roof load (can be hundreds of lbs) 4.) The new roof must be attached to the roof deck to meet wind loads, which means we cannot attach the new roof to the existing one, which requires a different process and longer nails.
