Roofing FAQs
How do I choose the right roofing contractor?
Start with the basics: confirm licensing and insurance, read recent reviews, and ask how estimates are documented. A reliable contractor will provide a written proposal, photos from the inspection, and clear warranty details so you can compare options confidently.
What affects the cost of a roof replacement?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, number of existing layers, deck condition, ventilation needs, and the roofing materials you choose (like asphalt shingles vs. metal). Bundling gutters, siding, or windows can also change total scope and value.
Is it better to repair my roof or replace it?
If the issue is isolated—like a small flashing failure or a few missing shingles—a repair may be the smart move. If the roof is older, leaking in multiple areas, or showing widespread wear, replacement often provides better long-term protection and fewer repeat costs.
Do you help with storm damage and insurance claims?
Yes. We can document storm damage with photos, provide a line-item estimate, and help you understand what may be covered versus what counts as an upgrade. This makes it easier to communicate with an adjuster and plan your next steps.
Can gutters and siding be installed with a new roof?
Absolutely. Many homeowners schedule gutters and siding alongside a roof replacement so everything works together as a complete exterior system. Coordinating the work can improve drainage performance, reduce scheduling delays, and streamline the overall project.
What roofing materials are best for long-term performance?
Asphalt shingles remain one of the most popular choices for durability and value, especially when installed with proper ventilation and underlayment. Metal roofing is also a strong option for homeowners prioritizing longevity and energy performance.
Do you offer energy-efficient or solar-ready roof solutions?
We can recommend ventilation and underlayment upgrades that support comfort and performance. If you plan to add solar later, we can coordinate details so your roof is prepared for future installation and long-term durability.
Do you work on light commercial roofs?
In select cases, yes. If you have a small office, retail space, or multifamily property, contact us with the details and we’ll confirm whether the project is a fit and what the best next step should be.
What should I do if my roof is actively leaking?
If water is entering your home, contact a contractor right away. While waiting, move valuables away from the leak area and place a bucket to catch water. A professional inspection can identify whether the source is shingles, flashing, vents, or a hidden roof penetration.
