  • How do I know when I need a new or repaired roof?

    Annual roof maintenances and inspections should be done annually to prevent any repair problems.

  • My roof leaks, do I need to have it completely replaced?

    Not always, most roof leaks can be repaired unless your roof is past its normal life span.

  • What are my options if I decide to do a completely new roof?

    Options vary per home type, location, budget, and building department. It’s best to have a roofing specialist come visit your home to do an evaluation and review all options for you specifically.

  • Will my installer be professionally trained?

    Yes. When it comes to installing your new Roofing, Gutters, or Solar our factory-trained installers are here to ensure you receive the smoothest installation possible.

  • Is roof repair a DIY project?

    Roof repair is never a DIY project. You only want a trained certified professional to stand behind a repair and guarantee it.

  • How long does a new roof replacement take?

    A roof replacement can vary by contractor, roof pitch, location, and roof type. A new roof could be anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks. There are too many variables to give a specific answer.

  • Do I have to replace gutters and downspouts if I replace my roof?

    Gutters are not required to be changed with a new roof, however, they will need additional flashing installed if you choose to reuse them. If they are rusted or in poor condition, they will be recommended to be replaced. It saves money on gutter installation to replace gutters during a roof install while the old roof has been removed.

  • What preparation is needed by the owner before getting a new roof?

    Most homeowners only need to make sure vehicles are out of the driveway so that our trucks can access the home and any satellite dishes mounted directly on top of the roof be relocated by their satellite cable provider. Any animals or family members affected by loud noises from nail guns might want to leave the home for a day.

  • How long will my new roof last?

    There are many options for quality when replacing your roof, but most roofs are lifetime roofs when installed correctly by a professionally trained company.

  • How much does a new roof cost?

    Roofs vary in price as much as human beings and hair colors. It’s worth making an appointment to meet with a roofing specialist for an educational meeting even if you’re only in the budgeting stage.

  • How can I determine my annual roof expenses?
