FAQs
What are the common signs that my roof needs repair?
Common signs that your roof may need repair include missing or damaged shingles, water stains on your ceiling or walls, granules in gutters, sagging roof decks, and visible signs of wear or damage to flashing and vents. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to consult a roofing expert to assess the condition of your roof.
How long does a typical roof repair take?
The duration of a roof repair can vary based on the extent of the damage and the type of repair needed. Minor repairs may take just a few hours, while more extensive repairs could take a day or more. After an initial inspection, our team can provide a more accurate timeline specific to your roofing needs.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost of roof repairs?
Whether your homeowner's insurance covers roof repairs typically depends on the cause of the damage and the terms of your policy. Damage caused by unexpected events like storms or falling trees is often covered, while issues stemming from neglect or regular wear and tear may not be. It's best to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
It is recommended to have your roof inspected at least once a year, along with after major storms or weather events. Regular inspections can help identify and address potential issues before they become significant problems, saving you time and money in the long run.
What should I do if my roof is leaking?
If your roof is leaking, the first step is to minimize water damage by placing buckets or containers to catch the water. Move valuables out of the affected area and, if possible, cover furniture with plastic sheets. Next, contact a professional roofing contractor as soon as possible to assess and repair the leak.
Can I repair my roof myself, or should I hire a professional?
While some minor roof repairs can be done by a skilled homeowner, it is generally safer and more effective to hire a professional roofing contractor. Professional roofers have the experience, tools, and knowledge to address a wide range of roofing issues and ensure the repairs are done correctly and safely.
