Start with the calendar
Hotels run on seasons, group blocks and events. The best re-roof schedule works backward from those dates and from hurricane season, with the noisiest tear-off in low-occupancy windows and a tight, weather-aware dry-in plan so no section is left open overnight.
Phase the building
Large roofs are done in sections, each torn off, dried in and sealed the same day. Phasing around wings, towers and ballrooms keeps rooms and meeting space in service. Rooms directly below active work are often held back or moved.
Guest safety and noise
Fenced material staging, protected walkways, debris chutes, and no overhead work above entrances or pools while guests are present are the baseline. Tell the front desk the schedule, and put a named superintendent on site who can stop work if conditions change.
Built for wind and rain
Coastal and resort properties face the highest wind loads. Specify wind-uplift-rated assemblies, hurricane-rated perimeter metal and a fastening schedule from the engineer or manufacturer, and keep the roofer's warranty tied to those details.
Closeout and documentation
Insurance carriers and lenders ask for proof. Photo documentation of each phase, warranty paperwork and as-built details make renewals, appraisals and future claims much smoother.
