Most frequent questions and answers
Yes, all our workers are fully licensed, insured, and certified.
License: 874708, C39
Insurance: Workers Comp and Liability
Certifications: Our workers receive ongoing training and certifications in roofing systems, installation techniques, and safety procedures.
Age of roof:
Warranty Check: If your roof is getting close to 20 years old, it’s worth checking the warranty of the materials installed. Many materials have a lifespan of 20–50 years, but your roof may need attention even before it reaches that age if there are other warning signs.

Warranty Check: If your roof is getting close to 20 years old, it’s worth checking the warranty of the materials installed. Many materials have a lifespan of 20–50 years, but your roof may need attention even before it reaches that age if there are other warning signs.
Exterior Signs:
Missing or Broken Shingles: Shingles that are cracked, curling, or completely missing can expose your roof to water damage.
Granules in Gutters: Excessive shingle granules in your gutters may indicate aging or deteriorating shingles.
Water Pooling or Ponding: On flat or low-slope roofs, check for standing water that doesn’t drain after a rainstorm.
Damaged Flashing: Look around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof valleys for bent, corroded, or missing metal flashing. Flashing prevents water from entering roof joints. Damage here is a common source of leaks.
Sagging or Uneven Roofline: Any part of the roof that dips, sags, or looks uneven. A sagging roofline can indicate trapped moisture, structural issues, or compromised decking.
Moss, Mold, or Algae Growth: Green moss, black streaks, or visible mold patches on your roof. Mold can spread and affect the roof structure and lead to rot.
Cracks in the Roof Surface: Visible cracks, holes, or punctures in shingles or roof membranes.
Loose or Damaged Gutters: Gutters that are sagging, pulling away from the house, or clogged with debris. Properly functioning gutters direct water away from your roof.
Cracked or Loose Roof Accessories: Check vents, pipes, and skylights for cracks, gaps, or loose seals.
Interior Signs:
Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls: Brown or yellow discoloration is a clear indicator of a leak.
Peeling Paint or Wallpaper: Moisture behind walls can cause paint or wallpaper to bubble or peel.
Dripping Water: Active leaks during rainstorms are an obvious sign of roof damage.
Mold or Mildew: A musty smell or visible mold can signal prolonged moisture issues.
Other Signs:
Increased Energy Bills: Poor insulation or ventilation due to roof damage can lead to higher heating or cooling costs.
Yes, we handle all permits and inspections for your roofing project to ensure the work complies with city regulations and that the city has a record of your roof’s newness and upgrades. This helps protect your home and ensures everything is up to code.
However, please note:
Permit Costs: Permits are excluded from the initial project cost and will be billed as a final invoice.
Cost Variations: Permit costs vary depending on the city and its specific requirements.
Rest assured, we’ll manage the entire process, including submitting applications and scheduling inspections, so you can focus on your home while we take care of the details.
Do you provide a written estimate and contract? And Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?
Yes, we provide a detailed written estimate and contract for every project.
Common unexpected costs are dry rot and wood-related. We cannot foresee the plywood condition until the roof is fully removed. For this reason, we include a clause in our contracts for potential dry rot or other hidden issues that may only become visible once construction begins. These are common in older roofs or structures and are billed as a separate bill “change order.”
Custom fabrications or unique requests are not included in the initial contract unless explicitly specified.
Any work not listed in the contract or additional repairs required (e.g., addressing dry rot or custom elements) will be documented as change orders. These will be discussed with you for approval before proceeding to ensure transparency and agreement on any added costs.
Roof Size: The larger your roof, the more materials and labor are required, which increases the overall cost. Roof size is calculated in “squares,” with one square equaling 100 square feet.
Number of Stories: Multi-story homes are more challenging to work on due to increased safety measures, setup time, and the difficulty of moving materials to higher levels.
Accessibility: If your roof is difficult to access due to tight spaces, landscaping, or other obstructions, it can make material delivery and debris removal more time-consuming, increasing labor costs.
Roof Complexity (Facets, Valleys, and Pitch): A roof with multiple facets, valleys, dormers, or steep pitches requires more precision and time to install. Complex roofs often involve extra detailing, flashing, and cutting, which adds to labor and material costs.
Material Choice:
Asphalt Shingles (3-tab or architectural): Most cost-effective.
Metal Roofing: More expensive but durable.
Tile or Slate: Premium materials with higher costs due to their weight.
Eco-Friendly or Custom Options: Green roofs or unique materials add to the price.
Disposal and Cleanup: Removing old roofing materials and debris requires dumpster rentals and disposal fees.
Labor Costs: Highly skilled workers may cost more but ensure a higher-quality installation.
Asphalt Shingles:
3-Tab Shingles: 20–25 years
Architectural Shingles: 30–50 years
Metal Roofing:
Lifespan: 40–70 years
Metal roofs are highly durable and resistant to fire, wind, and water damage.
Tile Roofing (Clay or Concrete):
Lifespan: 50–100 years
Tiles are extremely durable and can withstand harsh conditions, but they require a strong roof structure due to their weight.
Periodic maintenance, such as replacing broken tiles, is essential.
Slate Roofing:
Lifespan: 75–150 years
One of the most durable materials, slate roofs require minimal maintenance but need a strong structural foundation to support their weight.
Flat Roofing (TPO, EPDM, PVC):
Lifespan: 20–30 years
Wood Shingles and Shakes:
Lifespan: 25–40 years
These roofs are eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing but require regular maintenance, including cleaning to prevent moss, mold, and rot.
Manufacturer’s Warranty: We make sure to provide a complete installation using the same manufacturer’s materials to qualify for the manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty coverage typically lasts between 20 and 50 years, depending on the material.
Labor Warranty: We provide a 7-year labor warranty, which covers any issues related to the installation, except for damage caused by acts of God (such as storms, earthquakes, or other extreme events). If there are any installation-related problems within this period, we will make it right at no additional cost to you.
