Frequently Asked Questions

Not every leak requires a new roof. If your roof is relatively new and the damage is localized (like a few missing shingles from a storm), a repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is over 15-20 years old, has widespread granule loss, curling shingles, or multiple leaks, a replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. We offer honest assessments and will never pressure you into a replacement if a repair will do the job.

While building codes sometimes allow for a second layer of shingles (overlay), we generally do not recommend it. Removing the old roof allows us to inspect the decking underneath for rot or water damage, ensuring your new roof has a solid foundation. Plus, a complete tear-off typically ensures your manufacturer warranties remain valid.

Yes, looks can be deceiving. By the time a leak shows up inside your home, significant water damage may have already occurred in your attic or insulation. Signs like cracked shingles, bald spots (loss of granules), or sagging are early warnings. If you’re unsure, give us a call for a preventative inspection.
