Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or fully replaced?
A roof may only need repairs if the damage is isolated to a small area, such as a few missing shingles, minor flashing issues, or a small leak. If your roof has widespread shingle damage, recurring leaks, sagging areas, storm damage, or is near the end of its expected lifespan, a full replacement may be the better long-term solution.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year, especially in areas that experience heavy rain, wind, hail, or strong storms. Regular inspections help catch small issues early before they turn into costly leaks, structural damage, or insurance-related problems.
What are the most common signs of roof damage?
Common signs of roof damage include missing shingles, curled or cracked shingles, water stains on ceilings, granules in gutters, soft spots, damaged flashing, and visible leaks. You may also notice higher energy bills if roofing or ventilation issues are affecting your home’s efficiency.
Can storm damage be covered by insurance?
Storm damage may be covered by insurance if it was caused by a covered event such as wind, hail, fallen debris, or severe weather. We can inspect the damage, document what we find, and help guide you through the insurance claim process so you understand your options.
What is the benefit of hiring a TAMKO Certified Contractor?
Hiring a TAMKO Certified Contractor gives you confidence that your roof is being installed by a trained and qualified roofing professional. It may also give you access to better product knowledge, proper installation practices, and available manufacturer warranty options.
How long does a roof replacement usually take?
Most residential roof replacements can be completed in one to a few days, depending on the size of the roof, the materials being used, the weather, and the condition of the existing roof deck. Larger homes, commercial buildings, or roofs requiring additional repairs may take longer.
What type of roofing material is best for my property?
The best roofing material depends on your budget, property type, roof design, and long-term goals. Asphalt shingles are a popular choice for many homes, while metal roofing, TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen may be better options for certain commercial or low-slope roofing systems.
Why is roof maintenance important?
Roof maintenance helps extend the life of your roofing system by addressing small issues before they become major problems. Cleaning debris, checking flashing, inspecting gutters, and repairing minor damage can help prevent leaks, moisture issues, and premature roof failure.
Do gutters affect the condition of my roof?
Yes, gutters play an important role in protecting your roof, siding, foundation, and exterior surfaces. When gutters are clogged, damaged, or improperly installed, water can back up under the roofline, damage fascia boards, and create drainage problems around your property.

Yes, we provide roofing services for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need a roof replacement, repair, inspection, flat roofing system, metal roofing, or storm damage assistance, we can help protect your property with dependable roofing solutions.
