Roofing question

[mnpeterg]

Finishing the creation of a new outbuilding.

Electrical service will be provided from an aerial line from my service provider. Here’s the question..

-starting the roof tomorrow
-the Rigid conduit that connects to the meter base that is going through the soffit and through the roof will have to be drilled at some point in the install.

Question... Would it be easier to have the rigid conduit installed thought the sheathing before ice/rain and the shingles? or does it not really matter?

Before and before the wire and weather head are installed so you can slip a flashing over the conduit. The other option is to be there with the electrician and slip the flashing over the pipe before he pulls the wire and installs the weather head then you can install the shingles after he’s gone.
