FAQ

Questions, answered with clarity.

How do I know if I need a new roof or just repairs?

Look for missing shingles, leaks, water stains on ceilings, sagging areas, or a roof that’s 20+ years old. A free inspection can confirm if repair or replacement is best.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–3 days, depending on size, weather, and complexity.

What types of roofing materials do you install?

We offer GAF Asphalt Laminated Shingles, Wood Shake, Metal, Polymer Shake, and Slate products.

Will insurance cover my roof replacement?

If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or storms, homeowners' insurance may cover it. We work directly with all major insurance companies to simplify the process.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Experts recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in spring or fall, and after major storms. Regular inspections catch small issues early and prevent costly repairs.

How long will my new roof last?

A professionally installed asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 20–30 years. Regular inspections and maintenance can extend its life.
