How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?
Signs that your roof may need replacement include widespread shingle damage, multiple leaks, and significant wear due to age (typically over 20 years for asphalt shingles). If the damage is isolated or minor, repairs might be sufficient. Our team can provide a thorough inspection and recommend the best course of action for your situation.
What are the benefits of standing seam metal roofing compared to asphalt shingles?
Standing seam metal roofing offers superior durability, longevity (up to 50 years or more), and energy efficiency due to its reflective properties. It is also low-maintenance and can withstand extreme weather conditions better than asphalt shingles. While the initial cost is higher, the long-term benefits can offset this investment.
How do I choose the right roofing material for my home?
The right roofing material depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and local climate. Asphalt shingles are cost-effective and versatile, while metal roofs offer durability and energy efficiency. Our experts can help you weigh the pros and cons of each material to find the best fit for your home.
How long does it typically take to replace a residential roof?
The duration of a roof replacement depends on the size of your home and the type of roofing material. On average, an asphalt shingle roof can take 1-3 days, while metal or more complex installations might take longer. We provide a detailed timeline during the project planning stage to ensure clear expectations.

Can I install a new roof over my existing shingles?
