FAQs
Have questions? You’re not alone. Our FAQs cover the things homeowners ask us every day, from timelines to warranties, so you can get quick answers without the runaround.
Do I need a roof repair or a roof replacement?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your roof. If the issue is isolated, like a few missing shingles or minor flashing damage, a repair may do the trick. If your roof is older or damage is widespread, a full replacement is often the smarter long-term investment.
What are the most common signs of roof damage?
Look for missing or curling shingles, granules in your gutters, water stains on ceilings, or sagging areas. You might also notice higher energy bills if ventilation is compromised. When in doubt, a professional inspection can confirm what’s really going on.
How long do roofs usually last?
Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 30 years, depending on materials and installation quality. Metal, tile, and slate roofs can last much longer. Climate, storm activity, and maintenance all play a big role in lifespan.
What’s the best type of roof for my home?
The best roof depends on your budget, style preferences, and local climate. Asphalt shingles are popular for affordability and durability, while metal and specialty materials offer longer lifespans. A professional can help you weigh performance, appearance, and cost.
Is it normal for a roof to leak during heavy rain?
No, a properly functioning roof shouldn’t leak, even during heavy rain. If water is getting in, there’s likely an underlying issue like damaged shingles, flashing failure, or worn underlayment. Leaks should always be addressed quickly to prevent interior damage.
What is the most common cause of roof leaks?
Damaged or improperly installed flashing is one of the top causes of roof leaks. Other common culprits include cracked shingles, clogged valleys, and aging sealants around vents or chimneys. Small vulnerabilities can turn into big problems if left alone.
