ROOFING FAQS
HOW CAN I TELL IF I NEED A NEW ROOF?
There are several signs that indicate you need a new roof, including:
- Cracked, curling shingles
- Algae growth on shingles
- Missing shingles
- Mold in your attic
- Excessive shingle granules in your gutters
An asphalt shingle roof will last around 20 years. Metal roofs are more durable and will last 50 years or more. Cedar shake roofs can last about 30 years with proper maintenance.
The cost of a new roof depends on several factors. Size, removal of old roofing, style, slope, shape, materials, chimneys, vents, and more are considered when your contractor is determining price. Every roof is slightly different, so there is no way to determine your cost until we evaluate your roof and discuss materials. Manufacturers require specific materials to take advantage of their warranties, so we want to make sure you’ re covered.
