Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Our experts conduct a comprehensive roof inspection to carefully evaluate its overall condition. Localized problems, such as small leaks or damaged shingles, can frequently be addressed with targeted repairs. However, widespread damage, age over 20 years, or multiple leaks usually indicate that replacement is the better option. We provide honest, detailed recommendations tailored to your specific situation.
What types of roofing materials do you install?
We install a variety of roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, TPO, PVC, and EPDM for commercial applications. Each material has its own benefits depending on durability, cost, and weather resistance. We work closely with you to select the ideal roofing solution that aligns with both your property’s needs and your budget.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Residential roof replacements generally take between 3 to 7 days depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. We maintain a balance of efficiency and precision, ensuring minimal disruption to your routine while upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship.
Are your roofing services covered by warranties?
Yes. We provide manufacturer warranties on all roofing materials which typically range from 20 to 50 years. Additionally, Storm Ready Roofing offers workmanship warranties to guarantee the quality and durability of our installation services.
Does storm damage qualify for insurance claims?
Coverage depends on your individual insurance policy and the specific cause of the damage. We assist you throughout the claims process, providing thorough documentation of the damage and coordinating with your insurance company to help you secure the fullest coverage possible.
How often should I schedule roof inspections?
We recommend having a professional roof inspection at least once a year, with additional checks before and after storm season. Routine inspections help identify potential issues early, allowing for timely maintenance that can significantly extend the life of your roof.
