FAQs
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend at least once a year and after major storms to catch issues early and prevent costly repairs.
How can I tell if I need a new roof?
Common signs include missing or curling shingles, roof leaks, water stains on ceilings or walls, and granules from shingles in your gutters. Also, if your roof is more than 20 years of age, it’s likely that a new one might be needed. A professional inspection is the best way to know for sure.
How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
Common signs include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, sagging areas, granules in gutters, or your roof being near the end of its lifespan. A professional inspection is the best way to know for sure.
Can a new roof be installed over an old one?
It is possible in some instances but not always advised. Multiple layers can conceal damage and increase weight and may reduce the lifespan of the new roof. A full tear-off allows for a more comprehensive inspection and improved long-term performance.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size, material, and weather conditions.
How can I extend the life of my roof?
Regular inspections, prompt repairs, proper attic ventilation, and keeping gutters clean all help extend your roof’s lifespan.
Can shingles be installed in cold temperatures?
Yes, but extra care is needed. In colder temperatures, shingles can be brittle and may not seal immediately. We recommend waiting until temperatures reach 40°F or higher unless it’s an emergency.
