I awoke this morning to find my neighbor had begun re-roofing, my
driveway covered with debris, and my car blocked in. No warning or
discussion about this. Based on some prior problems, had actually
specifically told the neighbor to stay off my property.
Roughly speaking, what are the legal ramifications? Must I give them
"reasonable" access, or can I say no more? I've had it.

I agree he absolutely should have, but neighbors have to get along & he
already told his neighbor to stay off his property.
this is a lose lose situation

Most likely it ain't worth the lawyer unless you have substantial
damage. Reroofing usually only takes a day or two, so it'll be over
quickly. If you decide to push back, these things can escalate. I
have no idea of the situation and what parts the two of you have played
in creating the antagonism, but nobody benefits when neighbors fight.
It's hard to prove damages in such a case. It is difficult to put a
monetary damage value on being inconvenienced because you couldn't take
your car out. If the debris is just a mess and didn't damage your
property it'll be gone soon. Take some digital photos of the debris,
call the police about the trespass, have them come out and talk to the
neighbor, don't let the roofers on your property and hire a cleanup
crew to pick up the debris. Then take it to small claims court. Be
advised this will be a huge hassle and annoyance for everybody and you
won't really solve anything.
I can't understand why the neighbor would piss on your shoes like that,
particularly after you told them to stay off your property. I've
reroofed houses that are 3' from the property line and made the
necessary arrangements to keep the debris contained on the owners
property. It's possible that the owner left the reroofing in the hands
of the roofer and didn't make any mention of your property being
totally off limits. Too many contractors assume that a little debris
on someone else's property comes with the territory and they're happy
to clean it up. If the owner didn't say anything to the roofer, the
roofer should have still rang your bell and told you what to expect.
