Why is regular roof maintenance important?
Routine maintenance helps identify minor issues before they turn into costly repairs. Regular inspections and upkeep can extend the life of your roof, improve energy efficiency, and maintain your home’s safety and value.
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Signs that you may need a new roof include missing or curling shingles, visible sagging, persistent leaks, water stains on ceilings, and roofs that are over 20–25 years old. A professional inspection can confirm whether a repair or full replacement is needed.
What types of roofing materials do you offer?
We work with a variety of materials including asphalt shingles, metal panels, clay tiles, slate, and flat roofing membranes (TPO, EPDM). Each has its own benefits in terms of cost, durability, appearance, and energy efficiency.
What are the benefits of metal roofing?
Metal roofs are highly durable, energy-efficient, fire-resistant, and low maintenance. They typically last 40–70 years and are a great investment for homeowners looking for long-term performance and modern curb appeal.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the size of the roof, material used, and weather conditions. We'll provide a clear timeline during your estimate.
Can roofing work be done in winter or bad weather?
Yes, but it depends on the severity of the weather and the type of roofing. We monitor weather closely to ensure safety and effectiveness. Some repairs and installations may be delayed during heavy rain, snow, or extreme cold.
Do I need to be home during roof work?
Not necessarily. Many of our clients choose to be away while we work. As long as we have access to the roof and know how to reach you if needed, we can handle the job independently.
Is roofing noisy?
Yes, roofing work involves hammering, tearing, and hauling materials, so it can be loud. We recommend notifying neighbors and planning accordingly, especially if you have pets or young children at home.
Are your services insured and guaranteed?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind our work with warranties on both materials and labor. We’ll explain your coverage options in detail during your estimate.
What should I do if I notice a leak?
Call us right away. Leaks can cause hidden damage to insulation, drywall, and framing. We'll inspect the source and recommend whether a repair or full replacement is needed.
How do I choose the right roofing material for my home?
This depends on your budget, home style, climate, and long-term goals. We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each option and help you make the best choice for your needs.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes! All of our estimates are free, with no obligation. We’ll assess your roof, discuss your options, and provide a clear written quote.
How often should my roof be inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, and after any major storm. Regular checkups can help catch issues early and prevent expensive repairs.
What should I do to prepare for a roof installation?
We’ll walk you through it. Generally, you’ll want to clear your driveway, remove valuables from attic spaces, and secure loose items indoors, as vibrations can travel through the structure during work.
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Yes. Our crew performs a thorough cleanup of your property, including removal of debris, sweeping with magnets to catch nails, and final walk-throughs to ensure everything is safe and spotless.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes. If your roof has been damaged by a storm or other covered event, we can assist with the insurance claim process. We’ll provide detailed documentation, photos, and work with your adjuster to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
What’s the difference between a roof repair and a full replacement?
A repair addresses specific issues like leaks, damaged shingles, or flashing. A replacement involves removing the existing roof and installing a new one. Repairs are ideal for isolated problems, while widespread damage or aging may require a full replacement.
How much does a new roof cost?
The cost of a new roof depends on factors like size, material, slope, and any necessary repairs to the underlying structure. We provide free, detailed estimates so you’ll know exactly what to expect—no surprises.
Can you match the color of my existing roof?
In many cases, yes. We carry a wide selection of roofing materials in various colors and styles, and we’ll do our best to match your existing roof or help you choose a close alternative if an exact match isn’t available.
