Roof Repair 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 Repair FAQs

How do I know if my roof needs repairs?

Look for signs such as missing or damaged shingles, water stains on ceilings, sagging areas, granules in gutters, visible light through the roof boards, or leaks during rainfall. A professional roof inspection can provide a definitive assessment.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year and after any major storm events. Regular inspections can identify small issues before they become costly problems.

What’s the difference between roof repair and roof replacement?

Roof repair addresses specific damaged areas while preserving most of the existing roof. Replacement involves removing the old roof and installing a completely new one. Repairs are typically suitable for localized damage, while replacement is necessary for older roofs with widespread issues.

Cost and Timing FAQs

How much does roof repair typically cost?

Repair costs vary widely depending on the extent of damage, materials needed, roof type, and accessibility. Minor repairs might cost $300-$1,000, while more extensive repairs can range from $1,000-$3,000 or more.

How long does a typical roof repair take?

Minor repairs can often be completed in a day, while more extensive repairs might take 2-5 days depending on weather conditions, the scope of work, and material availability.

Do you offer warranties on roof repairs?

Yes, we provide workmanship warranties on all repairs. Materials also carry manufacturer warranties. The specific length and coverage details depend on the type of repair and materials used.

Process and Service FAQs

Do you provide emergency roof repair services?

Yes, we offer emergency roof repair services for situations that require immediate attention, such as active leaks during storms. Our emergency team is available 24/7.

Will my insurance cover the cost of roof repairs?

Many homeowner’s insurance policies cover roof damage caused by unpreventable events like storms or fallen trees. We can help you navigate the insurance claim process and provide the necessary documentation.

What types of roofing materials do you work with?

We work with all common roofing materials including asphalt shingles, metal, tile, slate, wood shakes, and flat roof membranes like EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen.

Technical FAQs

How do you handle roof leaks?

We locate the source of the leak, which may require removing shingles or other roofing materials. We then repair any damaged underlayment, replace damaged shingles or flashing, and ensure proper water drainage.

What happens if you discover additional damage during the repair?

If we discover additional damage during repairs, we’ll document it with photos, stop work in that area, and contact you to discuss options before proceeding. We never perform additional work without your approval.

How to integrate between existing and new roofing materials during partial repairs?

We begin by carefully removing damaged sections, extending removal beyond the visibly damaged area to reach structurally sound decking. For shingle roofs, we use the “weaving” technique where new shingles are interlaced with existing ones at the transition point, maintaining proper overlap and nail placement. We also check for discontinued shingle patterns and may suggest specialized color matching or weathering techniques if exact matches aren’t available. For flat roofs, we create proper seam overlaps and use compatible adhesives or heat-welding techniques specific to the membrane type to ensure a watertight seal between new and existing materials.

Preparation and Aftermath FAQs

How should I prepare my home for roof repairs?

Remove or secure items from walls and shelves, as hammering can cause vibrations. Clear your driveway and yard of vehicles and valuable items. Cover attic items with tarps if applicable. Keep children and pets away from the work area.
