  • How do I know if I need shingle roof repairs?

    Be on the lookout for indicators such as shingles that are missing, damaged, or appear worn. Other signs include water stains on your ceiling or active leaks. If you observe any of these issues, it's advisable to schedule a professional roof inspection promptly.
  • How long does a shingle roof repair typically take?

    The time required for a shingle roof repair varies based on the extent of the damage and the repair's complexity. Our team will provide an estimated timeline after conducting a thorough inspection. Generally, simple repairs can be completed in about an hour, while more extensive damage may require up to three hours.
  • Are your shingle roof repair services covered by insurance?

    Insurance coverage for shingle roof repairs can differ depending on your specific policy. We recommend reaching out to your insurance provider directly to understand the extent of your coverage for these types of repairs.
  • How often should I have my shingle roof inspected?

    We recommend scheduling a shingle roof inspection at least once annually. It's particularly beneficial to have inspections before and after severe weather seasons to identify and address potential issues early, preventing more extensive damage.
  • Does a leaky roof need to be completely replaced?

    A leaking roof doesn't necessarily require full replacement. The decision between repair and replacement largely depends on the extent of the damage. For newer roofs, repairing a few damaged shingles might be sufficient. However, older roofs or those with multiple layers experiencing widespread damage may need partial or complete replacement.
  • How long should my roof last?

    The lifespan of your roof primarily depends on the quality of the asphalt shingles used. Budget materials typically last around 12 years, standard mid-range shingles about 20 years, and high-end designer shingles can endure up to 30 years or more. Factors like installation quality, weather conditions, and climate also influence longevity.
  • How long does it take to reroof my house?

    The duration of a roof installation can range from one day to several days. Factors influencing the timeline include the size of your roof, the chosen materials, and the size of our crew. As a reference, a typical starter home with asphalt shingles usually takes one day for tear-off and installation. Please note that adverse weather conditions may cause delays.
  • What does a new roof cost?

    The cost of a new roof varies based on several factors, including manufacturer and supplier costs, materials used, roof size and complexity, number of stories, and additional features like chimneys or skylights. While these variables make it difficult to provide a standard price, we offer free quotes to give you an accurate estimate for your specific situation.
  • What are the signs of a failing roof?

    Common indicators of a failing roof include: the age of the roof approaching its expected lifespan, curled or buckled shingles, missing shingles, loss of shingle granules, damaged flashing, water damage or leaks in upper-floor ceilings, and a sagging roof structure. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your roof professionally assessed.
