FAQs
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
There are several signs that your roof may need to be replaced, including missing or damaged shingles, persistent leaks, visible sagging, and approaching the typical lifespan of 20-25 years for most roofing materials. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to have a professional assess the condition of your roof.
What are the different types of roofing materials available for replacement in Rockford?
In Rockford, you can choose from a variety of roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, metal roofing, wood shakes, slate, and tile. Each material has its own benefits and considerations, including cost, durability, and appearance. Our roofing experts can help you decide which material best suits your home and budget.
How long does a roof replacement typically take?
The duration of a roof replacement varies depending on factors like the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and the type of materials being used. Generally, a typical roof replacement can take anywhere from a few days to a week. Your contractor can provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project.
What should I expect during the roof replacement process?
During the roof replacement process, the old roofing materials will be removed, any necessary repairs to the underlying structure will be made, and new roofing materials will be installed. You can expect some noise and debris around your property. Our crew takes every precaution to protect your home and landscaping, and we perform a thorough cleanup once the project is completed.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost of a roof replacement?
Homeowner's insurance may cover the cost of a roof replacement if the damage is due to a covered peril, such as a storm or fire. However, it typically does not cover normal wear and tear. It's important to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket expenses.
How can I maintain my new roof to ensure its longevity?
To maintain your new roof and ensure its longevity, it's important to perform regular inspections and maintenance. This includes checking for and replacing damaged or missing shingles, cleaning gutters and downspouts, and ensuring proper attic ventilation. Scheduling annual professional inspections can also help identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
