Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once every 1-2 years, and always after a major storm. This helps catch small issues before they become costly problems.

From the ground, you can look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles; excessive granule loss in your gutters; and any signs of water stains on your eaves. However, for a safe and thorough assessment, we always recommend a professional inspection.

Signs for repair include a few missing or cracked shingles or a small, isolated leak. You may need a full replacement if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, persistent leaks, or sagging.

Most residential roof replacements can be completed in 2-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life.
