FAQs
What are the common signs that my roof needs repair?
Common signs that your roof needs repair include missing or damaged shingles, visible leaks or water damage inside your home, sagging roof sections, mold or moss growth, and granules from shingles accumulating in gutters. Regular inspections can also help identify less obvious issues such as weakened flashing or deteriorating sealants.
How long does a roof repair typically take?
The duration of a roof repair depends on the extent of the damage and the type of repair needed. Minor repairs, such as replacing a few shingles, can often be completed in a few hours. More extensive repairs may take a day or more. After an initial inspection, we provide an estimated timeline based on the specific issues found.
Can I repair the roof myself, or should I hire a professional?
While DIY roof repair can be tempting, it’s often best to hire a professional. Roofing work can be dangerous and requires specific skills and knowledge to ensure the repair is done correctly and safely. Professionals also have access to the right materials and tools, and their work is usually guaranteed, providing added peace of mind.
What types of roofing materials can you repair?
Our team is experienced in repairing a wide range of roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofs, slate, tile, and wood shakes. Each material has unique characteristics and potential issues, and our experts are well-versed in the appropriate repair techniques for all types.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost of roof repairs?
Whether or not roof repairs are covered by your homeowner's insurance depends on the cause of the damage and your specific policy. Generally, damage from unforeseen events such as storms or accidents is covered, while wear and tear or lack of maintenance may not be. We recommend reviewing your policy and discussing with your insurance provider. We can also assist with the documentation needed for your claim.
How can I prevent future roof damage?
To prevent future roof damage, regular maintenance and inspections are key. This includes cleaning gutters frequently, trimming overhanging branches, inspecting and repairing any minor damages promptly, and ensuring proper attic ventilation to avoid moisture buildup. Scheduling professional roof inspections at least once a year can help catch and address potential issues early.
