Flat roof repair, TPO, EPDM, and built-up roofing systems for commercial properties. Maintenance programs available to protect your investment and extend roof life.
Ignoring roof problems can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Watch for these red flags.
Exposed areas allow water infiltration. Even a few missing shingles can lead to thousands in water damage if left unaddressed.
A sagging roof indicates structural issues — possibly rotting decking or compromised rafters. This requires immediate professional attention.
Excessive granule loss means your shingles are deteriorating. This reduces UV protection and shortens your roof's remaining lifespan significantly.
Brown spots or water marks on ceilings or walls indicate an active leak. The longer you wait, the more damage occurs to insulation and framing.
If you can see light from your attic, water can get in too. This is a clear sign of holes or gaps that need immediate repair.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years. If yours is approaching or past this age, it's time for a professional inspection to assess remaining life.
A failing roof allows heat to escape in winter and enter in summer, forcing your HVAC to work harder. A new roof can reduce energy costs by 15-25%.
While not immediately dangerous, moss retains moisture against shingles, accelerating deterioration. Professional cleaning or zinc strips can prevent this.

Storm damage? Hail? Wind? Here's a step-by-step guide to filing your roof insurance claim and getting the coverage you deserve.
Take photos and videos of all visible damage from the ground and inside your attic. Note the date of the storm and any immediate water intrusion. This documentation is critical for your claim.
Call your homeowner's insurance to report the damage and start a claim. Ask about your deductible, coverage limits, and timeline. Get a claim number for reference.
Have a licensed roofer inspect the damage and provide a detailed estimate. Many contractors offer free storm damage inspections. Their report strengthens your claim.
Your insurance company will send an adjuster to assess the damage. Have your roofer present during this meeting — they can point out damage the adjuster might miss.
Compare the adjuster's estimate with your roofer's estimate. If there's a significant difference, your contractor can help you supplement the claim for additional coverage.
Once the claim is approved, select your roofing contractor and schedule the work. Most insurance companies pay the claim in two installments — one upfront and one after completion.
Need help with your insurance claim?
Our roofing contractors offer free insurance claim assistance. They'll work directly with your adjuster to maximize your coverage.
Timing your roof project right can save you money and ensure better results.
Ideal time to assess winter damage and schedule repairs before summer heat. Moderate temperatures allow proper shingle sealing. Book early — spring fills up fast.
Longest days mean faster completion, but it's the busiest and most expensive season. High heat can affect installation quality. Book 4-6 weeks ahead.
Ideal temperatures for installation, lower demand means better pricing, and you'll be protected before winter storms. The #1 recommended season by most roofers.
Cold temperatures can affect shingle adhesion. However, you'll find the lowest prices and fastest scheduling. Emergency repairs are always available year-round.
Not sure if you need a repair or full replacement? Here's a quick guide to help you decide.
Not sure? A professional inspection will give you a clear answer.
Hiring the wrong roofer can cost you thousands. Use this checklist to find a reliable professional.
Ask for their contractor's license number and proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation. No exceptions.
Look at Google, Yelp, and BBB reviews. Focus on recent reviews and how the company responds to complaints.
Always get at least 3 written estimates. Compare scope of work, materials, timeline, and warranty — not just price.
Good roofers offer both a manufacturer warranty on materials AND a workmanship warranty on labor. Get it in writing.
A reasonable deposit is 10-30%. Full payment should only happen after the work is completed and inspected.
A detailed contract should include scope, materials, timeline, payment schedule, cleanup, and warranty terms.
Request 3-5 references from recent jobs in your area. Drive by to see their work quality firsthand.
Be wary of door-to-door solicitors after storms. They often do subpar work and disappear. Stick with established local companies.

A new roof typically costs between $5,000 and $15,000 for an average-sized home (1,500-2,500 sq ft), depending on the roofing material. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option ($3-$5 per sq ft installed), while metal roofing ($7-$14/sq ft) and tile ($10-$18/sq ft) cost more but offer longer lifespans. Factors like roof pitch, layers to remove, and local labor rates also affect pricing. Get a free estimate to know the exact cost for your home.
Signs you may need a roof replacement include: your roof is 20+ years old, you see widespread shingle damage or curling, there are multiple active leaks, the roof deck is sagging, you can see daylight through the roof boards, or you notice excessive granule loss in your gutters. A professional inspection can confirm whether repair or replacement is the best option.
Homeowner's insurance typically covers roof damage caused by sudden events like storms, hail, wind, and fallen trees. Normal wear and tear or neglected maintenance is usually not covered. Many roofing contractors offer free insurance claim assistance to help you navigate the process and maximize your coverage.
Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days for a standard asphalt shingle roof on an average-sized home. Larger homes, complex roof designs, or premium materials like tile or slate may take 5-7 days. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline.
The best roofing material depends on your budget, climate, and aesthetic preferences. Asphalt shingles offer the best value with a 20-30 year lifespan. Metal roofing is extremely durable and energy-efficient (40-70 years). Tile and slate are premium options that can last 50-100+ years. Your local roofer can recommend the best option for your specific area and needs.
In some cases, yes — this is called a 'roof overlay' and can save 20-25% vs. a full tear-off. However, most building codes only allow one layer of overlay (two layers total). If you already have two layers, or if there's underlying damage, a full tear-off is required. A professional inspection will determine the best approach.
If damage is localized and the roof is under 15 years old, repair is usually sufficient. If damage is widespread, the roof is 20+ years old, or repairs would exceed 30% of replacement cost, replacement is more cost-effective long-term. A professional can help you make the right decision.
Document damage with photos, contact your insurance company to file a claim, get a professional roof inspection, meet with the insurance adjuster (have your roofer present), and get repair/replacement quotes. Many roofers offer free claim assistance and will work directly with your insurance company.
Late spring and early fall offer the best weather conditions for roof installation. Summer is peak season with higher prices and longer wait times. Winter installations are possible but may take longer and cost less. For emergency repairs, contractors are available year-round.
Regular maintenance extends roof life significantly: clean gutters twice a year, trim overhanging branches, remove moss/algae promptly, ensure proper attic ventilation, fix minor issues immediately, and schedule professional inspections every 2-3 years. These simple steps can add 5-10 years to your roof's lifespan.
It takes less than 2 minutes. Licensed roofing contractors in your area respond within 5 minutes. No obligation, no pressure.
