Question 1

How long does a typical asphalt shingle roof last?

Accepted Answer

Most architectural asphalt roofs last around 20–30 years with proper ventilation and installation. Weather, attic ventilation, and installation quality are the big variables. We’ll assess your roof’s condition and outline maintenance to extend life.

Question 2

Do you install new shingles over old ones?

Accepted Answer

No. We perform a full tear‑off to the deck. This reveals hidden defects, preserves manufacturer warranties, and yields a longer‑lasting roof compared to overlays.

Question 3

How long will my roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most single‑family shingle roofs finish in 2 working days. Large, steep, or complex projects may take 3 days. Flat, metal, or specialty roofs vary by scope. Weather can shift schedules—we’ll text and email updates.

Question 4

What brands and materials do you install?

Accepted Answer

Architectural asphalt shingles are most popular amongst homeowners and proudly offer industry-leading options from GAF. If you prefer IKO or Owens Corning, we’re happy to accommodate that as well. We also install low‑slope systems (TPO/EPDM/modified), and metal roofs. Your proposal will include system components like underlayment, ventilation, flashing, drip edge, etc.

Question 5

How do you protect my property during the job?

Accepted Answer

We tarp landscaping, protect siding and windows, and stage materials to avoid rutting lawns. We perform daily magnetic sweeps for nails and a final walk‑through with you.

Question 6

Do I need to be home for the inspection or build?

Accepted Answer

It helps, but it’s not required. We’ll document with photos and video and review remotely if needed.
