Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions from customers and people online

How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?

Look for signs such as missing or damaged shingles, leaks, sagging, or granule loss. A professional inspection can confirm the best course of action.

How long does a typical roof last?

The lifespan depends on the roofing material. Asphalt shingles generally last 20–30 years, but with enough damage it could be shorter. 

How much does a new roof cost?

Costs vary based on materials, roof size, and labor. The average cost can range from $5,000 to $15,000 for residential asphalt shingles and more for premium materials.

How long does it take to install a new roof?

Most residential roof installations take 1–2 days, depending on size and weather. Larger or more complex roofs, like commercial ones, may take weeks or months. 

What are the most common roofing repairs?

Common repairs include replacing missing shingles, fixing leaks, patching flashing, repairing soffits/fascia, and addressing issues with gutters.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Ideally, inspect your roof twice a year, in spring and fall, and after any major weather events to catch issues early and prevent costly repairs.
