Rise and Shine: The Early Bird Gets the Shingle

As an employee of IKECO Roofing and Exteriors, my day starts bright and early. The alarm clock chimes at 5:30 AM, and I’m up and at ’em, ready to tackle another day of roof replacements and installations across Western North Carolina.

6:30 AM: Team Huddle

I arrive at our Mills River headquarters, where we gather for our daily team meeting. We discuss the day’s projects, which include:

  • A residential roof replacement in Fletcher
  • New roof installation for a home in Arden
  • Roof remodeling consultation in Hendersonville

7:30 AM: On the Road

With our assignments in hand, we load up our trucks with the necessary materials and head out to our first job site in Fletcher. The crisp mountain air energizes us as we make our way through the scenic roads of Henderson County.

8:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Up on the Roof

Our morning is spent carefully removing the old shingles and preparing the roof deck for the new installation. Safety is our top priority, and we ensure all team members are properly harnessed and following OSHA guidelines.

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Lunch Break

We take a quick break to refuel and hydrate. Sometimes, we’re treated to stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from our elevated vantage point – a perk of the job!

1:00 PM – 4:30 PM: Finishing Touches

The afternoon is dedicated to installing the new roofing materials. We work efficiently as a team, ensuring every shingle is placed with precision. By day’s end, we’ve transformed the home with a beautiful, durable new roof.

4:30 PM – 5:30 PM: Clean-up and Client Check-in

Before heading out, we meticulously clean the job site and conduct a final inspection. We then meet with the homeowner to walk them through the work completed and address any questions they might have.

5:30 PM: Heading Home

As I drive back to our Mills River office, I reflect on another satisfying day of providing top-notch roofing services to our community. Whether we’re working in Asheville, Candler, or anywhere in between, IKECO Roofing and Exteriors is committed to excellence in every project we undertake.

From residential roofing to complete exterior renovations, each day brings new challenges and opportunities to shine. And as I clock out, I’m already looking forward to what tomorrow will bring in the world of roofing and exteriors.
