You can also spare a minute and read some of the questions we frequently get asked, together with their answers, below on this page.
Q: Is there a way for me to determine if my roof needs repair or replacement?
A: As a rule of thumb, general roof repairs can be carried out during the average 20-year lifespan of shingle roofs. However, if your roof can no longer stop water infiltration despite regular maintenance, a replacement may be required. Also, if you notice broken, damaged, missing shingles, it’s probably a good time for a small residential roof repair. Otherwise, it will turn into a significant and expensive project. However, to be 100% sure, you should schedule an inspection with a professional.
Q: My roof leaks, does that mean I need to replace it?
A: Not necessarily. If the leak is the result of minor damage, simple repair work may be all that is required.
Q: What is roof flashing?
A: In the most common meaning, roof flashing is the last line of defense between you and disaster. This is the reason why damaged, worn, or poorly installed flashing is the primary cause of roof leaks. It is a sheet of metal (usually aluminum or steel) that is placed over the joints in a roof to prevent water from leaking into the house.
Q: Do you install or repair flashing?
А: Yes, we specialize in providing commercial and residential roofing services that include both repair and installation. We guarantee durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance flashing installation.
Q: How long will my new roof last?
A: The average lifespan of a roof is between 20 and 30 years, but with regular maintenance and proper care, we believe it may last 50 without a single repair.
Q: Can you install or repair roofs during winter?
A: Usually, we can. There are no standard temperature guidelines for installing roof shingles. However, you should know that certain materials can become brittle during the colder months. If you need an emergency repair or installation, let us know, and we’ll discuss the options with you. When it comes to our roofers, we can work all year long, as long as it is safe for the materials.
Q: Do you install flat roofs?
A: Flat roofs are preferred mainly by our commercial clients, but we provide residential flat roof installation services by request as well.
Q: What is the best roofing system for a flat roof?
A: This depends on the quality of materials rather than the type of roof. We provide a range of options to assist you in making the most practical decisions based on your service needs.
