FAQ

Yes, clogged or broken gutters might cause water to back up onto your roof. Keep your gutters in good shape to protect your roof and your home’s foundation.

If your roof is still structurally sound but showing wear, restoration can be a smart choice. Roof restoration extends the life expectancy of your roof for several years at a lower cost than full replacement.

Choosing light-colored reflective roofing materials can help deflect heat, while proper attic insulation and ventilation reduce heating and cooling costs. Some modern shingles are even ENERGY STAR rated for better performance.

Keep gutters clean, remove debris like leaves and branches, check for missing shingles after storms, and look for signs of moss or algae. Catching and repairing minor issues early can extend your roof’s lifespan.

Ignoring a roof leak can cause massive damage inside your home, including mold growth, structural weakening, ruined insulation, and damaged ceilings or walls.

Some roof problems develop slowly and are hard to spot from the ground. Routine inspections can catch hidden damage early and save you from more expensive repairs in the future.

Metal roofing offers excellent durability, energy savings, and resistance to extreme weather. The upfront investment is higher than traditional shingles, but most homeowners find that the long-term benefits do outweigh the initial cost.

Yes, poor ventilation can cause moisture buildup that leads to mold, rotting wood, and premature roof aging. Proper ventilation helps your roofing system last longer and improves energy efficiency year-round.

A new roof improves your home's energy efficiency, increases curb appeal, boosts resale value, and gives protection during storms. It also reduces the risk of water damage and expensive emergency repairs.

Most residential roof replacements take one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and weather conditions. Larger homes or specialty materials may require a bit more time.

You can expect some noise, minor vibration, and temporary debris while the old roof is removed and the new one is installed. A professional roofing crew will take steps to protect your property and clean up afterward.

Insurance will normally cover a roof replacement if damage has been caused by a covered event like hail, wind, or fire. Wear and tear or neglect aren't usually covered, so understanding your policy is important.

Roof replacement costs vary widely depending on material, roof size, slope, and regional labor rates. Getting a personalized estimate after an inspection is the best way to understand the full cost for your home.

In some cases, building codes allow a second layer of roofing over the existing one, but this isn't always the best choice. Adding another layer can hide existing problems and add weight that some structures can't support safely.

Roof storm damage needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. Small punctures or missing shingles can let water seep into the home and lead to mold, rot, or insulation problems if it's ignored.

Document any visible damage safely from the ground, cover any interior leaks if possible, and contact a roofing professional right away. Prompt action can prevent additional water damage and make the insurance process simpler.

Asphalt shingles are very popular because they're affordable and easier to install. Metal roofing offers long-term durability. Tile, slate, and synthetic options are also available.

A well-installed asphalt shingle roof lasts about 20 to 30 years. Harsh weather and lack of maintenance can shorten its lifespan.

Sometimes, a leak is isolated to one area and can be repaired without a full replacement. However, widespread leaks or repeated problems probably mean that the roof's structure is failing.

Common signs include cracking or curling shingles, water stains on ceilings, granules in gutters, and sagging.

If you notice leaks, missing shingles, sagging areas, or higher energy bills, it could be time for professional help. A full inspection can determine whether repairs are enough or if a full replacement will better protect your home.
