Roofing FAQs

It depends on the type of roof you have. An asphalt shingle roof can last up to 20 years, a metal roof can last up to 50 years, and TPO roofing can last up to 30 years. There are certainly many more roofing types than the ones mentioned. If you have one of them, feel free to ask us how long your roof should last.

The cost of a roof installation depends on a variety of factors, such as the roofing material used, the size of your roof, and whether you are having the old shingles torn off. On average, the typical asphalt shingle roof will run between $7,000 and $10,000. Prices are subject to change, though, and the factors mentioned above are also to be considered.

Hiring the cheapest contractor you can find may seem like a great idea at the time, but it is not always. If a roofing company gives a quote that is much cheaper than its competitors', there may be cause for concern. In roofing, you get what you pay for. Don’t rush to take the cheapest estimate. Some things to ask a contractor include:

● Are you insured?

● Are you licensed?

● Do you have references and reviews?

● Do you offer warranties?

Many signs indicate that you need a new roof, including many shingle granules in your gutters, missing shingles, mold in the attic, holes in the roof, and algae growth. Some may only require repairs, especially if a storm has just passed. 

We use high-quality materials from top manufacturers to ensure durability, strong warranties, and a good appearance. We install asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and flat/low-slope systems, depending on your building and budget.

The timeline depends on the size of the roof, the material chosen, weather conditions, whether old roofing must be removed, and any structural repairs required underneath. We’ll provide a project schedule when we deliver your estimate. Our team prides itself on keeping your property clean and minimizing disruption.

While weather conditions can affect scheduling (snow, heavy rains, extreme cold), roof replacement can be done throughout the year. That said, scheduling earlier may avoid peak-season delays. If your roof is leaking or severely damaged, we’ll expedite the process regardless of the season.

To help facilitate a smooth project:

● If possible, clear vehicles and trucks from the driveway for crew access.
