Spring is drawing near. Most homeowners are beginning to do their roofing and contractors research online. Your home is an investment and it makes sense to choose high quality, long lasting, durable roofing materials that will provide protection, aesthetics and a high return.

There are plenty of roofing materials now available, the research alone can become quite cumbersome. There are significant differences in quality and resources in the production of roofing materials.  If you are looking for a good quality, durable, strong and complimentary roofing system for your home, let our expertise and our roof maintenance services do the work.

We’ve gathered the most asked questions by our clients:

How can I tell if my roof has problems?

Most often, roof problems are discovered when there is a leak or other damage. Regular roof inspections can discover cracked or warped shingles, loose shingles, loose seams, deteriorated flashing, accumulation of surface granules in gutters or downspouts, discoloration, peeling paint, areas with moisture, etc. However, a solely exterior roof inspection may not reveal problems. In addition, an interior attic inspection should be done to locate moisture, rot and other sources of damages.

What options are there if I decide to re-roof?

In most cases, a replacement which includes a complete tear-off of your existing roof and the installation of a new roof system. All things considered, such as your roof type, slope, condition and age – a new roofing system might be the best option. Upon completing a thorough inspection, we will review options that are most feasible for you and your home.

Do I have to have my roof replaced if it leaks?

It depends. There are many sources of leaks but the most common results from flashing that have come loose or a section of the roofing system that has become damaged. Repairs can be done on most of them. However, a complete roof system failure is irreversible and results from improper installation or unsuitable choice of roofing materials or the roof system design and application were inadequate for the structure. A thorough roof inspection should reveal aspects of the problem.

Can I replace the roof myself?

A DIY project is possible; However, without the proper experience and knowledge a lot of things can go wrong. As a professional roofing contractor, we are trained, licensed and educated to safely and efficiently repair or replace roofing systems. A DIY attempt can further damage your roof system by using improper techniques, materials, installation and/or even cause some type of bodily injury.

Can I inspect the roof myself?

Homeowners should keep a keen eye on their home. We recommend scheduling a professional roof maintenance inspection in the spring and fall. The roof should be checked for cracks, curling, signs of deterioration and checking and cleaning the gutters.

How long does a roof replacement last?

The life span of a roof system depends on a few factors: roof system design, quality of materials, installation techniques, environmental conditions, local building code compliance, manufacturer warranty and regular roof maintenance. Generally speaking, a new roof system should last for about 20 or plus years. Roofs made of slate, clay, and metal materials can last much longer.

How much does a new roof installation cost?

The price of a new roof varies extensively: house/roof design, shape and style, roof slope/grade, location of house, roof materials selected, roofing contractor selected, local labor rates and time of year. Obtaining an estimate will provide you with a price, materials, any problems, time schedule and any other issues noticed by the roofer.
