Roof Replacement Service FAQs

Monarch Roofing / Estimate FAQs

How long has your company been in business?

Monarch Roofing & Construction Inc. has been in business since April 27th, 2005!

What is your labor warranty for new roofs?

Limited 7-year leak-free contractor warranty for the sloped section of the roof and 5-years for the flat section of the roof, for roof leaks arising from workmanship defects after the date of completion on the sloped roof. This warranty only covers the cost to repair the roof in the damaged area to prevent future roof leaks. Aesthetic perfection cannot be guaranteed with any type of roof repair. This warranty does not cover damages caused by acts of God such as, but not limited to, storms, hurricanes, lightning strikes, tornadoes, hail, etc. This warranty does not cover damages caused by solar roof installations, air conditioning fixtures, pool heating systems, or any other system installed on, or underneath, your roof system, including lighting systems, entertainment systems or holiday decorations. Failing to properly document roof maintenance can result in voiding the warranty. Proper documentation must include an invoice containing the date, time, products used to clean or maintain the roof, with substantial and distinguishable photographs.

When would you be able to schedule my job?

Currently lead times on projects are 45 days + 5-10 days to complete the work.

How long will my project take (including pulling of permits)?

Permits may take up to 30 days, but we usually get them in 2-3 weeks. Simultaneously we are acquiring roofing material. All this is taking place within our 45 day lead time. Add 5-10 days to execute the project.

Does your estimate include permit fees?

Yes, permit fees are included in roof replacement projects unless otherwise stated in the estimate.

Does your estimate include Secondary Water Resistance?

Yes, secondary water resistance is included in all new roof estimates with the exception of flat roof systems due to building code requirements.

Is replacement of fascia included? Do you have vinyl fascia?

Fascia board is not included. Pricing depends on the size, material type, and the amount. All this is calculated at the on site inspection as a courtesy. Total cost of fascia board can only be determined when we are removing all the fascia board. We can install Vinyls boards provided by the homeowner only if we are replacing all the fascia. The price to do this work can be determined upon the on site inspection.

Is replacement of plywood/roof decking included?

5 sheets of plywood OR a $500 credit are included in complete new roof replacement projects. The credit may be used for other structural repairs such as fascia board, truss reinforcement, and roof decking.

How will you be checking the condition of the decking on my roof? Will you perform fastener pull-out resistance tests?

The removal of the existing roof system will be a sufficient test of your structural integrity. On average we are removing 5-10 thousand ring shank nails from your average single-family home. If a leak existed, even a small leak, it is possible the water deteriorated small sections of the plywood. The longer the leaks exist, the greater the damage. We have found that structures with CDX 15/32″ plywood tend to have a higher need of wood replacement in comparison to structures with CDX 19/32″ plywood. Structures with tongue and groove boards (nominal 1″) tend to also have higher requirements for structural repairs because those structures have had several roof replacements and the roof structure is nearing the end of its life. In those cases, I often recommend a complete roof resheathing.

For metal roofs, is there an additional cost to choose a color of metal?

Generally, color does not play a significant part in the cost of the roof, except with metal roofing. Metal roofs start low with non-colored, mill finish panels, and go up in price when you add standard colors.

Are there any additional fees that you have not mentioned?

We want happy customers, and that means we must be upfront about as much as possible in order to set the expectations. To do this, we must see the project in-person before putting ink on paper. There are a few more items we need to review such as gutters, roof-to-wall connections, ventilation, materials, vehicle access, etc.

General Roof Replacement FAQs

How do I know if I need a roof replacement rather than just repairs?

Your roof likely needs replacement rather than repairs if it’s 20-25+ years old, has multiple leaks, significant shingle damage (curling, cracking, or missing shingles), sagging areas, or if granules from shingles are consistently appearing in your gutters. A professional inspection can help determine if replacement is necessary.

How long does a roof replacement typically take?

Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your roof, weather conditions, and the type of materials being installed. Larger homes or complex roof designs may require additional time.

What’s the best time of year to replace a roof?

While roof replacement can be done year-round in many areas, late spring through early fall generally provides the most favorable weather conditions. Moderate temperatures help ensure proper sealing of asphalt shingles. However, many roofing companies offer year-round services with appropriate adaptations for weather.

Cost and Financing FAQs

How much does a typical roof replacement cost?

Costs typically range from $5,000 to $15,000+ depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, materials chosen, and your location. Premium materials like slate or metal can significantly increase costs. Most companies offer free estimates based on your specific needs.

Do roofing companies offer financing options?

Yes, many reputable roofing companies offer financing plans, including monthly payment options, deferred interest programs, and partnerships with lending institutions. Some may also offer seasonal discounts or promotions.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof replacement?

Insurance typically covers roof replacement if the damage resulted from an unexpected event or natural disaster (like hail, wind, or falling trees). Normal wear and tear or age-related deterioration usually isn’t covered. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.

Process & Preparation FAQs

What should I do to prepare my home for roof replacement?

  • Remove fragile items from walls and shelves as hammering can cause vibrations
  • Clear your driveway and areas around your home for material delivery and debris removal
  • Cover items in your attic to protect from dust
  • Temporarily relocate sensitive pets who may be stressed by noise
  • Inform neighbors of the upcoming work
  • Remove satellite dishes or antennas if applicable

Will the roofing company handle permits and inspections?

Reputable roofing companies typically handle all required permits and coordinate necessary inspections as part of their service. This should be explicitly stated in your contract. Always verify this before work begins.

What happens if bad weather occurs during my roof replacement?

Professional roofers monitor weather forecasts and plan accordingly. If unexpected weather arises during installation, they will secure any exposed areas with tarps or other temporary protection and resume work when conditions improve.

Materials / Options FAQs

What roofing materials are available, and how do they differ?

Common options include:

  • Asphalt shingles: Most popular, cost-effective, 15-30 year lifespan

  • Metal roofing: Durable, energy-efficient, 40-70 year lifespan

  • Slate: Premium natural option, 75-100+ year lifespan

  • Clay/concrete tiles: Distinctive appearance, excellent durability, 50+ year lifespan

  • Wood shakes: Natural aesthetic, moderate durability, 20-40 year lifespan

Each material offers different benefits in terms of appearance, durability, cost, and energy efficiency.

Can I install a new roof over my existing roof?

While some building codes allow installing a new layer of shingles over an existing layer (called a “roof-over”), complete removal of old materials is generally recommended. This allows inspection of the underlying structure and ensures better installation and longer roof life.

Are there energy-efficient roofing options?

Yes, many “cool roof” options are available, including specially designed reflective shingles, metal roofing, and certain tile products. These materials reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, potentially reducing cooling costs by 15-30% in warm climates.

Warranties / After Service FAQs

What types of warranties should I expect?

Most roof replacements come with two types of warranties:

  1. Manufacturer warranty: Covers the roofing materials (typically 25-50 years for asphalt shingles)

  2. Workmanship warranty: Covers installation quality (typically 2-10 years, varies by company)

Ask for written copies of both warranties before signing a contract.

How do I maintain my new roof after installation?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning gutters, removing debris, trimming overhanging branches, checking for damaged shingles after severe weather, and scheduling professional inspections every 2-3 years. Proper ventilation and attic insulation also help extend roof life.

What if I discover issues after my roof is installed?

Reputable roofing companies stand behind their work. Contact your contractor immediately if you notice any issues. Most problems discovered shortly after installation should be covered under your workmanship warranty.
