Question 1

What are the most common signs I need a new roof?

Accepted Answer

Common indicators include damaged or missing shingles, loss of granules, water stains on interior ceilings, and soft or sagging areas on the roof. Additionally, if your roof has reached the end of its expected lifespan, it may be time for replacement. In Wisconsin, the harsh weather conditions, particularly the freeze-thaw cycles, can accelerate roof deterioration.

Question 2

How often should a roof be inspected?

Accepted Answer

It's generally advised to have your roof inspected annually and after severe weather events. Regular inspections help identify minor issues before they develop into costly problems.

Question 3

Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it?

Accepted Answer

Repairs are often possible for localized damage. However, if your roof shows signs of extensive aging, multiple leaks, or structural issues, a full replacement is typically recommended.

Question 4

How long does a roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

The duration of a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days. Factors affecting the timeline include the roof's size, pitch, number of layers to be removed, and weather conditions.

Question 5

What roofing materials do you install?

Accepted Answer

We offer a variety of roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shake, and flat-roof systems such as EPDM or TPO. Each material has its own unique characteristics in terms of cost, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Question 6

Do you install underlayment, ice & water shield, and ventilation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install all these components. Proper underlayment and ventilation are crucial for maximizing roof lifespan, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring warranty compliance, especially in regions with cold climates like Wisconsin.

Question 7

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a new roof varies based on several factors including the chosen material, roof size, pitch, removal requirements, and any necessary ventilation upgrades. We provide a detailed written estimate following a thorough inspection of your roof.

Question 8

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation estimates. These include comprehensive measurements, material options, and a written proposal for your consideration.

Question 9

Will my insurance cover the roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Insurance coverage typically applies to damage caused by storms, such as hail, wind, or falling debris. Normal wear and tear is usually not covered. While we can document any damage found, the final decision on coverage rests with your insurance adjuster.

Question 10

Do I need to be home during installation?

Accepted Answer

Your presence is not usually required during the installation process. We only need access to a power source and your driveway. However, if work on attic ventilation is necessary, we may require interior access to your home.
