  • 3. How much does roof repair cost?

    Roof repair prices vary widely based on damage type, location, and materials. Small repairs often cost a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while larger repairs approach replacement pricing. We’ll inspect and provide a free repair estimate with no obligation.

  • 4. How long does a roof last?

    Typical asphalt shingle roofs last 15–30+ years depending on weather, ventilation, and maintenance. Metal roofs can last 40+ years with proper care. Regular inspections help you plan replacement before leaks occur.

  • 5. How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

    Common signs include:

    ✔ Missing or curled shingles

    ✔ Granules in gutters

    ✔ Leaks or water stains inside

    ✔ Sagging sections

    If you see these, call for a free inspection so we can confirm and offer recommendations.

  • 6. Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?

    Yes — if damage is limited and the rest of the roof is in good condition. We’ll diagnose the issue during a free inspection and recommend whether a repair or replacement best protects your home.

  • 7. What roofing materials are available?

    Common options include:

    ✔ Asphalt shingles — most popular and affordable

    ✔ Metal roofing — longer-lasting and durable

    ✔ Designer shingles — enhanced look & performance

    Each has different price points and lifespans. Ask us for material comparisons in your quote.

  • 8. Is metal roofing worth the cost?

    Metal roofs cost more upfront (often significantly higher than asphalt) but can last decades longer and may reduce energy costs. Get a free materials comparison with your estimate.

  • 9. How long does roof installation take?

    Most homes are completed in 1–3 days depending on size and weather conditions. We’ll give you a timeframe when we provide your free quote.

  • 10. Can roofs be installed in bad weather?

    Roofing in light rain is possible but not ideal; heavy rain or storms will delay work for safety and quality. Manufacturers shouldn’t under 40 degrees. We’ll schedule work around the weather to protect your home.

  • 11. Do roofers remove old shingles before installing new ones?

    Often yes — But we won’t because we need to know we’re nailing into a quality surface.
