Frequently Asked Questions

Signs you need a new roof include: shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing; visible daylight through roof boards; water stains on ceilings; granules in gutters; or a roof that's 20+ years old. We offer free inspections to assess your roof's condition and provide honest recommendations.

The best material depends on your budget, home style, and climate. Asphalt shingles are popular for their affordability and durability (20-30 years). Metal roofing lasts 40-70 years and is energy-efficient. Tile roofing offers excellent longevity but costs more. We'll help you choose the right material for your specific needs.

While it's sometimes possible, we typically recommend removing the old roof first. This allows us to inspect the deck for damage, ensure proper ventilation, and provide a warranty. Multiple layers can also exceed weight limits and void manufacturer warranties. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best approach.

Most residential roof installations take 2-4 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Larger homes or complex roof designs may take longer. Commercial projects vary widely based on building size. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

No, you don't need to leave. However, roof installation can be noisy, especially during tear-off and nailing. You may want to make arrangements for pets or anyone who works from home. We protect your property and landscape, and perform daily cleanups to minimize disruption.

We monitor weather closely and plan accordingly. Your home is protected with tarps if rain approaches. We won't start a job if heavy rain is forecast. If light rain occurs mid-project, we secure the work area and resume when conditions improve. Your home stays protected throughout.

Roof replacement costs vary based on size, material, pitch, and complexity. A typical residential roof ranges from $8,000-$25,000. We provide transparent, itemized quotes with no hidden fees. Factors affecting price include square footage, material choice, removal of old roofing, and any necessary repairs to the deck.

Yes! We partner with leading lenders to offer flexible financing with competitive rates and terms. Many homeowners qualify for monthly payments that fit their budget. We also assist with insurance claims if your roof was damaged by storms or other covered events.

Insurance typically covers roofs damaged by storms, hail, wind, or fire. Normal wear and tear usually isn't covered. We can inspect your roof for storm damage, document it with photos, and help you navigate the claims process. Many of our customers successfully get their roofs covered by insurance.
