Roofing FAQs

We recommend annual inspections, especially before winter or after severe weather. Most homeowners benefit from inspection every 2-3 years, but older roofs (15+ years) should be checked annually.

Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20-25 years, composition roofs 15-20 years, and premium materials like architectural shingles can last 25-30+ years. Lifespan depends on climate, maintenance, and installation quality.

Key signs include missing or curling shingles, leaks in the attic, water stains on ceilings, sagging areas, excessive granule loss, and age over 20 years. When in doubt, schedule a free inspection.

Many roofing problems can be repaired cost-effectively. We assess the damage and recommend repair if it's limited to a small area and the roof is under 15 years old. Widespread damage or aging roofs usually warrant replacement.

Repair costs range from $300-$1,500 depending on damage severity and materials. Emergency leak repairs are on the higher end, while minor fixes cost less. We provide free estimates and transparent pricing.
