Timing of Roof Replacement / HVAC

[Mike Welch]

I'm preparing to renovate my first investment property, a 2bd / 1ba home prior to renting it out. My first order of business is to have the roof replaced. I'm also upgrading the HVAC from evaporative to a new A/C gas pack that will be installed on the roof.

Would you recommend that I have the roof replacement completed prior to the HVAC work? Should I have the two contractors coordinate their work?

Any advice on the best way to schedule these two contractors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
