​Monarch Roofing / Estimate FAQs

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Your insurance company isn’t trying to be difficult when they threaten to drop your coverage over an aging roof—they’re protecting themselves from what their data shows is an almost inevitable expensive claim. Insurance companies have extensive actuarial data demonstrating that older roofs are more likely to fail, and when insurers spot signs of roof deterioration like curling shingles, sagging sections, or visible wear patterns, they can predict that a claim is likely and decide not to renew the policy as a preemptive move. Most insurers typically do not cover standard asphalt shingle roofs that are more than 20 years old because the risk of failure during storms becomes too high to justify continued coverage. From their perspective, it’s better to require roof replacement now than to face a major water damage claim that could cost tens of thousands of dollars when your aging roof inevitably fails during the next severe weather event. While this might feel unfair as a homeowner, an insurance company can require you to replace your roof as a condition of your home insurance policy, and they’re essentially using this requirement to manage their financial exposure while giving you the opportunity to maintain coverage through proactive replacement.
