Roofing FAQ's

Any roofing service is an important matter. Your roof is designed to protect you and your property. It deals with wind, rain, and debris all the time. That is its job. This results in the constant need for roof maintenance and repairs to keep it functioning properly. Everyone knows this, but there are many questions that still need to be answered regarding roof repairs. Here are some of our FAQs to help answer some of those questions for you.

• What do I do if my roof is leaking?

Roofs deal with rain and moisture all the time. Water can get through the tiniest of cracks and holes. Your roofing materials are no exception to that truth. If you notice a leak, you will want to get it repaired immediately. This will minimize the impact on your overall roof structure. If left unchecked for too long, the leak will grow, roofing materials will rot, and mold will grow. This will then lead to a more expensive roof replacement, rather than a more affordable roof repair.

• Do new roofs have warranties?

Roofing materials come with manufacturer’s warranties. The exact warranty will depend on the roofing material type and the manufacturer. Our roofing contractors will provide you with information about the warranty that comes with your roof.

• How long does it take to replace a roof?

How long it takes will depend on several factors such as the size of the roof, the weather, and whether you are removing the existing shingles or not. In general, a typical single-family home can have a roof replacement completed in a single day. That will include removing the old shingles and underlayment, installing the new shingles and underlayment, and cleaning up.

• How much does a new roof cost?

The cost of having a new roof installed depends on several factors. Factors to consider are the size of your roof, the roofing materials used, and if you are doing a complete tear-off or shingling over the existing shingles.
