General Roofing Questions
FAQ's
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Signs that you may need a roof replacement include:
- Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
- Leaks or water damage inside your home
- Sagging roof areas
- Excessive moss or algae growth
- Your roof is over 20-25 years old
If you’re unsure, we offer free inspections to assess your roof’s condition.
Can I repair my roof instead of replacing it?
In some cases, a repair may be sufficient, especially if the damage is minor. However, if your roof has extensive wear, multiple leaks, or structural issues, a full replacement may be the better long-term solution. Our team will provide an honest assessment to help you decide.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to three days, depending on the size of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. We always work efficiently while ensuring high-quality workmanship.
What roofing materials do you offer?
We offer a variety of roofing materials, including:
- Asphalt shingles (most popular and cost-effective)
- Metal roofing (durable and energy-efficient)
- Slate and tile roofing (high-end and long-lasting)
- Flat and commercial roofing options
We can help you choose the best material for your home’s style and budget.
