  • When should I have my roof inspected?

    It's advisable to schedule a roof inspection annually, even without experiencing severe weather, to identify and address minor issues before they escalate. Additionally, it's recommended to have your roof checked after severe weather events to assess potential damage. Roof inspections are also crucial for new homebuyers, property investors, landlords, and commercial property owners to evaluate the roof's condition.
  • What happens if I don't inspect my roof?

    Neglecting annual roof inspections can lead to overlooking damage that may become costly if left unaddressed. Over time, undetected roof issues can compromise your building's structural integrity and decrease its value. This is particularly problematic for those looking to sell or rent their property. To mitigate these risks, scheduling yearly inspections is strongly recommended.
  • What does a roof estimate entail?

    During a roof estimate, a professional roofing contractor primarily focuses on identifying any damage. This inspection typically includes examining for missing or damaged shingles, signs of leaks or water damage, and assessing the condition of gutters and vents. The duration of the estimate can vary from a few hours to longer, depending on the size and condition of your roof.
  • How long will it take to reroof my house?

    The duration of a roof replacement project can range from a few days to several weeks. Factors influencing the timeline include the size of your home, the type of roofing materials used, weather conditions, and the expertise of the roofing contractors. Each of these elements can impact the overall speed of the reroofing process.
  • Is it safe to inspect my own roof?

    Roofing professionals strongly advise against self-inspection of your roof due to safety concerns and the risk of overlooking subtle forms of damage. Engaging a professional for your roof estimate ensures a comprehensive assessment, identifying all potential issues. For a thorough and safe inspection, it's recommended to contact our team today.
