Granules in the gutters
Shingles shedding their grit have lost most of their protection from sun and hail.

When a repair is no longer enough.
Curling or cracked tabs
Freeze and thaw cycles open cracks that let water reach the deck.
Soft spots underfoot
A spongy deck means the wood under the shingles is already wet or rotting.
Leaks in more than one place
Patching one spot while another opens costs more than a planned replacement.

Questions we hear.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are torn off and shingled in one to two days. Weather and deck repairs can add time; we tell you the plan before we start.
Do you replace the plywood decking?
Only the boards that are soft, rotten or damaged. We show you what we found and it is listed in the estimate before the work.
Will insurance pay for my new roof?
If storm or hail damage caused it, it may be covered. We document the damage and can meet your adjuster on site. Your policy decides what is paid.
Do you clean up the nails?
Yes. Every job ends with a magnet sweep of the yard, driveway and beds, and we haul the old roof away.
