FAQs

Several indicators suggest the need for a new roof. These include: a roof age exceeding 20 years, shingles that are missing, curling, or cracked, water stains visible on ceilings or walls, granules accumulating in gutters (for asphalt shingle roofs), and noticeable sagging areas on the roof. If you're uncertain, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection for a definitive assessment.

The optimal roofing material depends on various factors including your budget, local climate, and aesthetic preferences. Asphalt shingles are a cost-effective and durable option. Metal roofing offers longevity and energy efficiency, particularly in harsh weather conditions. Tile roofing provides style and durability but is heavier. Slate roofing is elegant and long-lasting but more expensive. For commercial buildings and modern homes, flat roofing options such as TPO, EPDM, or DecTec may be suitable.

Typically, residential roof replacements are completed within 1 to 3 days. However, the exact duration can vary based on factors such as weather conditions, the size of the roof, and the chosen roofing material.

The cost of a new roof varies significantly. Factors influencing the price include the chosen roofing material, the size of the roof, and the specific location of the property.

For minor damage, patching may be a sufficient solution. However, if the roof has widespread issues or is nearing the end of its lifespan, a complete replacement often proves to be a more cost-effective long-term investment.

We recommend having your roof inspected at least annually, as well as after any major storms. Regular inspections are crucial for early problem detection and can significantly extend the lifespan of your roof.

To prevent roof leaks, maintain clean gutters, trim overhanging tree branches, inspect flashing around vents and chimneys regularly, and promptly replace any damaged shingles. These preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of leaks.

Upon noticing a leak, take immediate action. First, relocate any valuable items away from the affected area. Then, contain the water using a bucket or absorbent materials. Finally, contact a professional roofing contractor as soon as possible, as delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage.

Insurance coverage for roof repairs varies. Damage resulting from storms or accidents may be covered, while normal wear and tear or neglect typically are not. For specific information about your coverage, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly.
