General Roofing Questions

1. How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

Several signs indicate it might be time for a roof replacement:

• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles

• Leaks or water stains on ceilings and walls

• Sagging roof areas

• Excessive granule loss from shingles (visible in gutters)

• Your roof is over 20-25 years old (for asphalt shingles)

If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection.

2. How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the roof, the weather, and the complexity of the project. Larger or more intricate roofs may take longer.

3. What roofing materials do you offer?

We offer a variety of high-quality roofing materials, including:

• Asphalt shingles (affordable and durable)

• Metal roofing (long-lasting and energy-efficient)

• Cedar shakes (natural and aesthetically appealing)

• Flat roofing options (TPO, EPDM, etc.)

We can help you choose the best material based on your budget and home’s needs.

4. How much does a new roof cost?

The cost of a new roof depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the type of roofing material, and the complexity of the installation. Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roofs all have different price points, and additional factors like underlayment, ventilation, and labor can also affect the final cost.

5. What is the lifespan of a typical roof?

• Asphalt shingles: 20-30 years

• Metal roofing: 40-70 years

• Cedar shakes: 30-50 years

• Flat roofing (TPO, EPDM): 15-25 years

Regular maintenance can help extend your roof’s lifespan.

6. How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?

If the damage is isolated, a repair might be enough. However, if more than 30% of your roof is damaged or it’s nearing the end of its lifespan, a replacement is likely the best option. We offer free inspections to help you decide.

7. Can you install a new roof over an old one?

In some cases, yes, but it’s not always recommended. A tear-off allows for a full inspection of the underlying structure and prevents future issues. We’ll assess your roof and advise you on the best approach.
