Frequently Asked Questions

Our comprehensive inspections examine all critical components including shingles/tiles, flashing, gutters, vents, and interior attic space when accessible. We document issues with photos, assess remaining life expectancy, and provide prioritized repair recommendations in a detailed written report.

We recommend annual inspections, especially for roofs over 10 years old. After major storms or if you notice leaks, missing shingles, or interior water stains, schedule an immediate inspection. Commercial properties should be inspected twice yearly due to their larger roof areas.

You don't need to be present unless interior attic access is required. Our inspectors will thoroughly examine all external components and provide photos documenting the roof's condition. We'll share findings in a follow-up report and consultation.

Inspections combine visual examination with specialized tools including moisture meters, infrared cameras to detect hidden leaks, and drones for high or steep roofs. We document findings with high-resolution photos and sometimes video when needed to illustrate issues clearly.

Yes, our detailed reports meet insurance documentation requirements. We can identify storm damage from hail or wind and differentiate it from normal wear and tear. Many clients successfully use our reports when filing claims.

Signs you may need roof repairs include missing or damaged shingles, leaks inside your home, dark stains on ceilings, excessive granules in gutters, or visible sagging. We recommend getting a professional inspection if you notice any of these issues.

Most repairs can be completed within a day, but this depends on the extent of damage and weather conditions. Complex repairs or complete sectional replacements may take 2-3 days. We'll provide a clear timeline after our assessment.

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency repair services for situations like major leaks, storm damage, or structural issues. Our team can quickly assess and implement temporary solutions to prevent further damage until permanent repairs can be made.

Repair costs vary based on the extent of damage and materials needed. Minor fixes start around $300, while major repairs average $1,000-$3,000. We provide free estimates after inspection and can often work with insurance to cover storm damage repairs.

Yes, our team is certified to work with all major roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal, tile, slate, and flat roofs. We use manufacturer-approved techniques and materials to ensure proper repairs for each roof type.

Properly executed repairs can extend your roof's life by 5-10 years depending on material and current condition. We offer warranties on all repair work (typically 2-5 years) and can advise if replacement would be more cost-effective in the long term.

Key indicators include roofs older than 20 years, multiple leaks, extensive shingle damage, or daylight visible through roof boards. Our inspectors can evaluate your roof's condition and recommend whether repairs or replacement would be most cost-effective.

We install high-quality materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile (clay and concrete), slate, and flat roofing systems. Our experts will help you select the best option based on your budget, climate, and home style.

Typical installation takes 1-3 days for a standard home, depending on roof size, material, and weather. We work efficiently while maintaining strict quality standards. Complex or large roofs may take up to a week. We'll provide a timeline after assessing your specific project.

We take extensive precautions to protect your property. These include using protective tarps, magnetic sweepers for nails, clean job site practices, and careful scaffold placement. Any minor landscaping impacts will be addressed before we complete the project.

Key factors include roof size, material selection, complexity (number of valleys/chimneys), removal of old layers, permits, and local labor costs. Metal roofs typically cost more upfront but last longer than asphalt shingles. We provide detailed quotes outlining all costs.

While possible in some cases, we generally recommend complete tear-off because: 1) It allows inspection of decking, 2) Prevents excessive weight, 3) Removes hidden damage, and 4) Most building codes limit roofs to two layers. We'll advise what's best for your specific situation.

We provide: 1) A 5-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects, 2) Manufacturer warranties on materials (25-50 years depending on product), and 3) Extended warranty options. All warranties are fully transferable if you sell your home.
