Common Roofing Questions
How much does a new roof cost?
Most residential roofs fall between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on size, materials, and complexity.
​
We break every job down into four buckets:
Materials, Labor, Overhead, and a capped Profit, so you see exactly where your money goes.
​
Each of our installs are full tear off of old shingles and a full system roof using the proper components from the manufacturer.
Do I actually need to replace my roof?
Not always. A proper inspection is the first step in determining whether it’s time for a replacement.
However, a variety of factors beyond normal wear and tear can shorten the lifespan of asphalt shingles.
​
Improper attic ventilation, multiple layers of shingles, and manufacturer defects are three of the most common ways a roof’s lifespan is shortened.
​
If it’s not time, we’ll tell you and show you exactly why.
How will I know when it's time?
Shingles are curling, cracking, or falling apart.
​
Granules are washing off. If your gutters have a lot of sand like material, those are granules and the shingles are losing their protection.
​
Missing or blown off shingles.
​
Shingles that are 20-30 years old for architectural and 10-15 years old for 3-tab.
​
Does the warranty change with different materials?
Yes. Warranty coverage varies by manufacturer and product line.
Differences typically include coverage period, material defects vs. workmanship, prorated vs. non-prorated terms, and requirements for full system installation.
​
As a former manufacturer rep, we understand how these variables impact eligibility and long-term coverage for the homeowner.
What's the process like?
Most jobs take 1-2 days depending on the complexity. Roofing materials will be delivered either within days before install or morning of install.

We take steps to protect your property, perform a full cleanup and remove any leftover material promptly.
