Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Look for signs such as missing, cracked, or curling shingles; age of the roof (20 years or older typically calls for a replacement); leaks or water damage in the attic; and significant loss of granules from shingles.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A thorough roof inspection can take anywhere from 45 minutes to several hours, depending on the roof’s size, complexity, and the inspector’s diligence.
How much does a new roof cost?
The cost of a new roof can vary widely based on factors like the roof’s size, material chosen, labor costs in your area, and whether the old roof needs to be removed. Prices can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
The timeline can vary, but most residential roof replacements are completed within 1 to 3 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
Will a new roof lower my insurance premiums?
In some cases, yes. Many insurance companies offer reduced rates for homes with new roofs, especially if they’re made of materials that are impact-resistant or better able to withstand your area’s weather conditions.
What is the best time of year to replace a roof?
Roof replacements can be done at any time of year, but the best time is usually during the spring or fall when the weather is milder and less likely to cause delays.
