General Roofing Questions


  • How Do I Know if I Need a New Roof or Just a Repair?

    The best way to know for sure is with a professional inspection. Some signs—like a few missing shingles or a small leak—can often be resolved with a repair. However, if your roof is more than 20 years old, has widespread damage, or has experienced multiple leaks, it may be time to consider a full replacement. We’ll always give you an honest recommendation based on what’s best for your home or building.

  • How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take?

    For most residential projects, a roof replacement can be completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the home and weather conditions. Commercial roofing projects may take longer depending on the complexity of the building and the materials used. We’ll give you a realistic timeline up front and communicate with you throughout the process.

  • Can You Install a New Roof on My Mobile Home?

    Absolutely. We offer mobile home roofing services that include both flat and pitched roof installations using materials designed for insulation, durability, and long-term performance. If your mobile home’s roof is aging or leaking, we can provide options that are cost-effective and long-lasting.

  • What Is the Lifespan of a Typical Roof?

    It depends on the material:

    • Asphalt shingles: 20–30 years
    • Metal roofing: 40–70 years
    • Composition or synthetic materials: 25–50 years
    • Flat roofs: 10–25 years (depending on coating and maintenance)

    Proper installation, quality materials, and routine maintenance can help extend the life of any roof.

Commercial Roofing Questions


  • Do You Handle Commercial Roofing for Large Facilities?

    Our focus is on small commercial properties such as office buildings, retail shops, multi-tenant units, and similar structures. We’re not a fit for large warehouses or industrial facilities.

    We do. Regular inspections and preventative maintenance can extend the life of your roof, identify issues before they turn costly, and help you plan ahead for repairs. Our maintenance programs are ideal for small commercial buildings that want to stay proactive.
