What You Really Need to Know Before Replacing Your Roof

Replacing your roof might not be the most exciting project but is very important. If you're dealing with leaks, shingles falling off, or just have an aging roof, it may be time to think about a replacement. Here's a straightforward guide that cuts through the fluff and helps you know what to expect.

Why Do People Replace Their Roofs?

Sometimes it's obvious—a storm rolls through, and now there's a bucket catching water in your living room. Sometimes, however, it isn't so obvious.



• Storm damage (hail, wind, or tree limb(s))
• Aged roof (most roofs have a lifespan of 20–30 years depending on type)
• Missing or curled shingles
• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Asphalt granules in gutters (a sign that your shingles are wearing down)
• Need to raise curb appeal and value and sell house quickly

What Happens During a Roof Replacement?

Let's make it easy. Here's the simplified process:

1. Inspection & Estimate

We come to your location (at no cost), inspect the roof, and give you an estimate. If storm damage is involved, we'll let you know if insurance can possibly cover it.

2. Choosing Materials

You’ll choose your new shingles—color, style, brand. We'll help you sift through your options without overwhelming you.

3. Tear-Off

We remove the old roof—carefully and cleanly. Your yard gets protected, and we haul everything away.

4. Installation

The new roof goes up—usually in 1 to 2 days. We handle all the details and make sure it's done right.

5. Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

We pick up nails and any debris, walk the property with you to make sure that you're 100% satisfied.

Tips to Make the Process Easier

You don’t have to be a roofing expert to get top-quality replacement. Just keep these things in mind:

• Ask about warranties. Every good roof comes with both a manufacturer and labor warranty.
• Check for proper insurance. Make sure your roofer is licensed and insured (us!).
• Don’t assume you need a full replacement. Sometimes a repair is all that’s needed—we’re not afraid to admit that.
• Plan in advance. Roof work is weather-dependent. If a big storm is coming, we may have to reschedule for safety.
• Trust your gut. If a company is being pushy, shop around.
