  • How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

    Several indicators suggest the need for roof work, such as missing shingles, water infiltration, roof sagging, or noticeable wear and tear. To determine whether a repair or full replacement is necessary, it's advisable to have a professional roofing contractor conduct a thorough inspection.
  • How often should I have my roof inspected?

    We recommend scheduling a roof inspection at least annually and after significant weather events. The climate in Greensboro can cause unseen damage that may worsen if left unaddressed, making regular inspections crucial for maintaining your roof's integrity.
  • Can you install a new roof over my existing one?

    While it's technically possible to install a new roof over an existing one, it's not always the best approach. Most roofing professionals advise a complete removal of the old roof before installation. This method typically ensures better longevity and maintains full warranty coverage.
  • How long does a roof replacement take?

    The duration of a roof replacement usually ranges from one to three days. The exact timeframe depends on factors such as the size of your roof and the current weather conditions during the installation process.
  • Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof damage?

    Homeowner's insurance often covers roof damage, particularly when it's caused by severe weather. We recommend having a professional inspection and thoroughly documenting the damage before submitting an insurance claim to improve your chances of approval.
  • What should I do to prepare for roof installation day?

    To prepare for your roof installation, we suggest relocating vehicles from the driveway, securing any valuable items inside your home, and informing your neighbors about the upcoming work. Please be aware that roofing work can be temporarily noisy and disruptive.
  • What happens if my insurance claim is denied?

    If your insurance claim is denied, some roofing companies offer assistance with the appeals process. Additionally, many providers can present financing options to help cover the expenses of necessary repairs or a full roof replacement.
