Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, our team is always happy to help.
How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
The best way to determine whether your roof needs a repair or replacement is through a professional inspection. We evaluate the condition of the roofing system, look for damage, and consider factors such as the age and overall condition of the roof before recommending the appropriate solution.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
A professional roof inspection can help identify minor problems before they become larger and more expensive issues. We also recommend having your roof inspected after significant weather events such as strong winds or hail.
What are some signs that my roof may have a problem?
Common warning signs can include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, water stains, damaged flashing, deteriorated pipe boots, visible roof damage, or problems with ventilation. If you notice something unusual, an inspection can help determine the cause.
How long does a roof typically last?
Roof lifespan depends on the roofing material, installation quality, weather exposure, maintenance, and other factors. During an inspection, we can evaluate your current roofing system and provide an assessment of its condition and estimated remaining life.

Yes. We can provide written documentation regarding the condition of a roofing system, estimated remaining life, repairs, or completed roofing work when needed by homeowners, buyers, sellers, insurance companies, or property managers.

Do you provide thermal drone inspections?
Yes. Thermal drone inspections are available for certain commercial roofing systems and can help identify potential moisture intrusion and problem areas.
Why is roof ventilation important?
Proper roof ventilation helps maintain appropriate airflow through the attic and can support the overall performance and longevity of the roofing system. We provide ridge vent and ventilation installation and replacement.
