Roofing Services

Consider repair if damage is localized, your roof is under 15 years old, and less than 30% of the surface is affected. Choose replacement if damage is widespread, your roof is over 20 years old, you have recurring leaks, or repairs would cost more than 50% of replacement. Our free estimate helps you decide.

After a storm: 1) Document damage with photos and videos, 2) Make temporary repairs to prevent further damage (tarping), 3) Contact your insurance company within 24-48 hours, 4) Get a professional inspection, 5) Get written estimates before repairs. Avoid permanent repairs until after the insurance adjuster visits.

Many roofing contractors offer free roof inspections, especially when evaluating storm damage or providing repair estimates. Professional inspections that include detailed reports and drone footage may cost $150-$400. Our instant estimate provides a free preliminary assessment using satellite imagery.

Minor repairs typically don't require permits, but major repairs and full replacements usually do. Permit requirements vary by location. Reputable contractors handle permit acquisition as part of their service, ensuring work meets local building codes and passes inspection.

Simple repairs like patching leaks or replacing a few shingles take a few hours to one day. More extensive repairs may take 2-3 days. Full roof replacement typically takes 1-3 days for average homes. Complex roofs or weather delays can extend timelines.

Homeowners insurance typically covers roof damage from covered perils like storms, hail, wind, fire, and fallen trees. Normal wear and tear, age-related deterioration, and maintenance issues are usually not covered. Document damage promptly and file claims as soon as possible.

Emergency roof repair includes immediate services to prevent further damage, such as emergency tarping after storm damage, temporary leak repairs, securing loose materials, and board-up services. Many contractors offer 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations.

Look for: valid state licensing and insurance, positive local reviews and references, manufacturer certifications (GAF, Owens Corning), written warranties on labor and materials, detailed written estimates, and clear communication. Get at least 3 quotes and verify credentials before signing.

Roofing warranties typically include two components: manufacturer warranty covering material defects (25-50 years) and contractor workmanship warranty covering installation issues (2-25 years). Premium warranties may cover both. Always get warranty details in writing and understand exclusions.
