Professional Roofing Installation & Replacement

Professional services typically include residential and commercial roof inspections, leak and storm damage repairs, full roof replacements, new construction roofing, flat roofing systems, gutter and siding work, ventilation upgrades, and emergency tarping and temporary repairs.

Common signs include active leaks, widespread missing or curling shingles, heavy granule loss in gutters, sagging or soft spots in the decking, multiple prior repairs, and an older roof (often 20+ years for asphalt shingles); a professional inspection will determine the best course of action.

Yes — contractors often document damage, provide repair or replacement estimates, meet with adjusters, and submit photos and scope details to support a claim, but homeowners should also notify their insurer promptly and confirm coverages and next steps with their agent.

Typical installations include architectural and 3‑tab asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar or composite shakes, and flat-roof membranes such as TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen; work also commonly includes underlayment upgrades, flashing, drip edge, and attic ventilation improvements.

Most single-family roof replacements are completed in one to three days depending on roof size, steepness, number of layers to remove, weather conditions, and any needed deck repairs; larger or complex commercial jobs take longer and have a scheduled timeline.

Work typically carries both a contractor workmanship warranty for a set period and separate manufacturer warranties on materials; coverage lengths vary by product and installer, so ask for written warranty details and registration instructions for manufacturer coverage.

Professional roofing contractors should carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation and either hold required state or local licenses or be registered where applicable; always ask for proof of insurance and any license numbers before work begins.

Many roofing contractors partner with lenders to offer financing options or payment plans; available terms, interest rates, and qualification requirements vary, so request current financing information and read all terms carefully before signing.

Prepare by moving vehicles away from the work zone, removing fragile items from attics and walls that could rattle loose, trimming tree branches near the roof, protecting outdoor furniture and landscaping if possible, and planning for daytime noise during the project.

A clear estimate should list the scope of work, materials and brands, color selections, tear-off versus overlay, disposal of old materials, any required deck repairs, projected start and completion dates, permit responsibilities, warranty terms, and total cost with payment schedule.
