Frequently Asked Questions About Our Roofing & Siding Services

  • There are a few signs to look out for, such as missing or cracked shingles, leaks, sagging areas, or damaged flashing. If your roof is more than 20 years old, it may be time for a roof replacement. We recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional to assess the condition and determine if repairs or a full replacement are needed.

  • We offer a wide range of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, slate, and flat roofing systems. Each material has its own benefits in terms of durability, appearance, and cost. Our team can help you choose the best option based on your budget, climate, and style preferences.

  • The length of time it takes to replace a roof depends on the size of the roof, the materials being used, and weather conditions. On average, most residential roof replacements are completed within 1-3 days. Custom projects can be a bit longer depending on their complexity. We will provide you with a detailed timeline before we begin the project.

Check for any cracks or gaps, and ensure caulking is intact to prevent moisture damage. We also recommend scheduling an annual inspection to catch any potential issues early.
