✅ FAQs

How long does roof replacement take?

Short answer: Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size and weather.

We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Simple roofs can be completed in one day, while larger or more complex roofs may take 2–3 days.

Do I need to leave my home during installation?

Short answer: No, you can remain in your home.

However, installation can be noisy, so some homeowners prefer to work elsewhere or plan activities during installation days. You'll have access to your home throughout the process.

What warranty do you offer?

Short answer: 10-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer material warranties (20–50 years depending on product).

Every roof replacement includes our lifetime workmanship warranty plus manufacturer material warranties ranging from 20–50 years depending on the product chosen. Warranties are transferable to new homeowners.

Can you help with insurance claims?

Short answer: Yes, we provide complete insurance claim assistance.

If your roof was damaged by a storm, we provide free inspections, detailed documentation for insurance claims, meet with adjusters, and can work directly with your insurance company throughout the process.

What happens if it rains during installation?

Short answer: We monitor weather closely and tarp sections as needed.

If significant rain is forecasted, we'll pause work to protect your home. Your home is never left unprotected overnight. We use tarps and protective materials to ensure your property stays dry.

How much does roof replacement cost?

Short answer: Average cost is $8,500–$23,000 for most residential homes.

Costs vary by location, roof size, material choice, pitch, and complexity. Use our roof replacement cost calculator for a personalized estimate.

Can I install new shingles over old ones?

Short answer: Sometimes, but full tear-off is recommended.

Building codes often limit to one overlay. Removing the old roof allows inspection of the deck, proper flashing installation, and ensures proper weight distribution. We typically recommend full tear-off for best results.

Do I need a permit for roof replacement?

Short answer: Most areas require permits for roof replacement.

We handle all permit applications and ensure work meets local building codes. Permit costs are typically included in your estimate.

What should I do to prepare for a roof replacement?

Short answer: Clear the area around your home, remove items from walls and shelves, and ensure clear access.

Clear the area around your home, remove items from walls and shelves (vibration can knock things down), cover items in the attic, inform neighbors, and ensure clear access to your property. We'll provide a detailed preparation checklist.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Use this checklist before you sign anything.

Waiting until leaks spread through multiple rooms

Hidden water damage compounds quickly—schedule inspections early.

Choosing lowest bid without verifying warranty or insurance

Always confirm COI + warranty coverage in writing.

3.

Skipping attic/ventilation upgrades during the roof replacement

Tie ventilation upgrades into the same permit to save trips.

4.

Ordering materials before HOA or permit approvals are locked

Permits, HOA letters, and material lead times should be locked before demo.
