Roofing FAQs

If your roof has widespread damage, is over 20 years old, or has recurring leaks, a replacement may be more cost-effective than repairs. Minor issues like a few missing shingles or a localized leak can often be fixed without a full reroof. We offer free inspections to help you make the best decision.

Reroofing typically involves installing a new layer of shingles over the existing roof (if the structure allows it), while a roof replacement involves tearing off the old roofing materials and starting fresh. We’ll help determine what’s right for your home.

It depends on the material:

• Asphalt Shingles: 15–30 years
• Metal Roofing: 40–70 years
• Cedar Shakes: 20–40 years
• Tile Roofing: 50+ years
• Flat Roofing: 10–25 years (depending on the system)

Yes. If you’ve experienced storm damage or sudden leaks, contact us immediately for prompt, professional service to prevent further damage.

If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or other covered events, your homeowner’s insurance may pay for repairs or replacement. We assist with inspections, documentation, and the claim process.

It depends on your budget, aesthetic preference, and long-term goals. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Metal Roofing: Long-lasting, energy-efficient, and modern looking
• Cedar Shakes: Natural, rustic, and eco-friendly
• Tile Roofing: Durable and elegant—ideal for upscale or Mediterranean-style homes
• Flat Roofing: Common for commercial buildings or modern homes, easy to maintain

We’ll help you choose the right system based on your property and preferences.

Not when installed properly. With solid sheathing and insulation underneath, metal roofs are no noisier than other materials—and they often perform better in extreme weather.

In some cases, yes. However, weight and local building codes may require a full tear-off. We’ll inspect your existing roof structure and advise on the best course of action.

Most residential roofs are completed in 1–3 days, depending on size, materials, and weather conditions. We’ll provide a clear timeline before we begin.
