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?
General Roof Installation FAQs
How do I know if I need a new roof installation versus repairs?
If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, multiple leaks, significant sagging, or extensive shingle loss, a full replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Our inspector can provide a professional assessment to help you make the best decision for your situation.
What types of roofing materials do you install?
We install a variety of roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal roofing (standing seam and metal shingles), clay and concrete tiles, slate, wood shakes, and flat roof systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen). We can help you select the best material based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and local climate conditions.
How long will my new roof last?
Lifespan varies by material: asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, metal roofing 40-70 years, clay or concrete tiles 50+ years, and slate 75-100+ years. Proper installation, regular maintenance, and local climate factors all affect longevity.
Cost and Financing FAQs
What factors affect the cost of a new roof?
The main factors include: home size and roof complexity, chosen materials, removal of existing layers, structural repairs needed, ventilation improvements, accessibility, local labor costs, time of year, and permit requirements.
Do you offer financing options for roof installations?
Yes, we offer several financing options with competitive rates and flexible terms. These include same-as-cash programs, low-interest loans, and extended payment plans. Our team can help you explore which option best fits your budget.
Will a new roof increase my home’s value?
Yes, a new roof typically returns 60-70% of its cost in increased home value, according to industry studies. It also improves curb appeal, energy efficiency, and is a major selling point if you plan to list your home in the near future.
Installation Process FAQs
How long does a typical roof installation take?
Most residential roof installations take 2-5 days, depending on home size, roof complexity, weather conditions, and material type. Simple asphalt shingle projects might take as little as 1-2 days, while more complex materials like slate or tile may require 5-7 days or longer.
What happens if it rains during my roof installation?
We closely monitor weather forecasts and plan accordingly. If unexpected rain occurs, our team will secure any exposed areas with tarps to protect your home. Work will resume once conditions are safe. Our contracts include provisions for weather delays.
Will you need access to my home during installation?
We primarily work outside, but may need limited access to your attic to inspect or address ventilation issues. We’ll communicate this need in advance. You don’t need to vacate your home during installation, though noise levels will be elevated during working hours.
Permit / Regulation FAQs
Do I need a permit for a new roof installation?
Yes, most jurisdictions require permits for roof replacements. We handle the entire permitting process, including application, documentation, and scheduling any required inspections. Permit costs are typically included in your project estimate.
Does my new roof need to meet specific building codes?
Absolutely. All our installations comply with local building codes, including wind resistance ratings, fire ratings, and energy efficiency standards. We stay current with all code updates to ensure your roof meets or exceeds requirements.
Are there HOA or historical district restrictions I should know about?
If your home is in an HOA community or historical district, there may be specific material, color, or style requirements. We recommend checking your HOA covenants or historical district guidelines before selecting materials. We can assist with submittal of required documentation for approval.
Warranties / Maintenance FAQs
What warranties come with a new roof installation?
We offer a comprehensive warranty package including:
- Manufacturer’s material warranty – Typically 25-50 years depending on the products used
- Our Labor Warranty – 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.

- Optional extended warranties
Each warranty package is explained in detail before installation begins.
How should I maintain my new roof?
Regular maintenance includes keeping gutters clean, removing debris, trimming overhanging branches, checking for moss or algae growth, and scheduling professional inspections every 2-3 years. We provide a detailed maintenance guide specific to your roofing material.
Do you offer maintenance programs for installed roofs?
Yes, we offer annual maintenance programs that include inspections, minor repairs, and documentation for warranty purposes. These proactive programs help extend your roof’s lifespan and identify potential issues before they become major problems.
Technical FAQs
How will you ensure proper ventilation in my new roof system?
We calculate your attic’s specific ventilation needs based on square footage and local building codes. Our installation includes ridge vents, soffit vents, gable vents, or attic fans as needed to create a balanced airflow system that prevents moisture buildup and reduces energy costs.
How do you handle existing roof removal and disposal?
We completely remove all existing roofing materials down to the decking, inspect for structural issues, and repair as needed. All debris is collected in specialized containers and properly disposed of according to local regulations. We use magnetic tools to ensure all nails and metal pieces are removed from your property.
Will my new roof be energy efficient?
Many of our roofing materials qualify for ENERGY STAR® ratings. We can install reflective shingles, radiant barriers, and enhanced insulation systems that significantly reduce cooling costs. Some energy-efficient roofing materials may qualify for tax credits or utility rebates.
