General Roofing Questions
How do I know if I need a new roof?
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.
What type of roofing material is best?
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.
Can I install a new roof over my existing one?
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.
Installation Process
How long does a roof installation take?
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.
Will I need to leave my home during installation?
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.
What if it rains during installation?
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.
Cost & Financing
How much does a new roof cost?
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.
Do you offer financing options?
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.
Will insurance cover my new roof?
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.
Maintenance & Warranty
How much maintenance does a roof require?
Modern roofs require minimal maintenance. We recommend annual
inspections, keeping gutters clean, trimming overhanging
branches, and removing debris. After severe weather, check for
visible damage. Regular inspections help catch small issues
before they become expensive problems.
What warranties come with a new roof?
You receive comprehensive protection: manufacturer warranties on
materials (typically 25-50 years depending on product), and our
workmanship warranty covering installation quality. We stand
behind our work and will address any installation-related issues
promptly.
How long will my new roof last?
Lifespan depends on materials: asphalt shingles last 20-30
years, architectural shingles 25-40 years, metal roofing 40-70
years, and tile 50+ years. Proper installation, ventilation, and
maintenance significantly extend roof life. We use quality
materials and expert installation to maximize your roof's
lifespan.
