Frequently Asked Questions

• ▼ When Do You Need a New Roof?
  Identifying the need for a new roof is occasionally evident: leaks, curling, cracked or granule loss on shingles, damaged flashing, or even visible signs of water intrusion make it undeniable. However, there are times when determining the necessity for a roof replacement isn’t as straightforward. 
  
  Even if there are no visible problems, an aging roof may require replacement to prevent future complications and costly repairs. Neglecting a timely roof replacement can lead to significant structural problems. Avoid this possibility by contacting a licensed roof contractor for a detailed assessment.
• ▼ How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
  The cost of a roof can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
  
  1. **Material**: Different roofing materials have different costs. For example, asphalt shingles are generally less expensive than metal, tile, or slate roofs.
  
  2. **Size**: The larger the roof area, the more materials will be needed, which increases the overall cost.
  
  3. **Labor**: Labor costs can vary based on location, the complexity of the roof design, and the contractor's rates.
  
  4. **Removal of Old Roof**: If an old roof needs to be removed, this will add to the total cost.
  
  5. **Additional Features**: Skylights, vents, and other features can increase the cost.

• ▼ How Many Days, on Average, Does It Take to Replace a Residential Roof?

Our efficient process includes removing the old roof shingles and underlayment, followed by installing both the new underlayment and shingles. We finalize our work with a thorough cleanup of your home and property.
• ▼ What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?
  We accept the following forms of payment: check, credit card, wire transfer, and cash.
• ▼ Do You Install Roof Accessories Like Gutters, Solar Panels, or Skylights?
  We install or replace gutter systems with new ones or reinstall existing gutter systems upon roof completion. While we do not install new solar panels, we frequently and expertly remove and reset solar panels for roof replacement projects. We also offer custom skylight replacements in place of existing skylights for new roof assignments as needed.
• ▼ What Storm Damage Restoration Process Do You Utilize?
  Following a storm, once notified, we promptly respond and dispatch a crew to assess your roof within 24 hours or sooner. We provide a comprehensive assessment and meet with your insurance company and adjuster.

• ▼ How Long Can I Expect My Roof to Last?
  The lifespan of your roof depends on several factors, including its age, maintenance history, and any existing damage. Visible signs that your roof may need attention include:

  • Water stains inside your home
  • Exposed or displaced roofing components
  • Granule loss from shingles
  • Moss or algae growth

  In addition to these obvious issues, hidden problems can also affect your roof’s longevity, such as:

  • Rotting wood beneath the underlayment
  • Cracked pipe collars
  • Leaks beneath the surface
  • Nail pops or shiners in the attic

  Regular roof inspections, especially once your roof reaches 10+ years, can help identify and address potential problems early. Older roofs (15+ years) may not be as durable as modern roofing materials. Proper maintenance and timely repairs play a crucial role in extending your roof’s lifespan.
