General questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are done in one to three days depending on roof size and weather. We give you a clear timeline up front and keep you posted along the way.
What roofing materials do you install?
Architectural shingles and standing-seam metal are the most common, but we will walk you through the options that fit your home, your budget, and your curb appeal.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a written workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty on materials. If something is not right, we come back and make it right.
Will your crew make a mess of my property?
No. We protect your landscaping before we start and run a magnetic sweep for nails before we leave each day. Most homeowners say you would never know we were there.
Skylights & Flashing
Self-flashing vs. curb-mounted skylights: which is better?
The honest answer is that neither type is universally better because each one is designed for a different situation. Self-flashing skylights sit closer to the roof plane, which gives them a cleaner visual profile and keeps them out of the wind more effectively. They're also generally simpler to flash properly on a steep or moderate pitch. Curb-mounted units give you more flexibility on size and are a smarter choice on low-slope applications where water can sit. Both systems work well when they're installed correctly, and both will leak eventually if the flashing fails. That's why the installation quality matters as much as the product itself.
Read moreHow do I know if I need a new skylight or just a reseal?
If the leak keeps returning after sealant has been applied, the flashing kit or the glazing seal has likely failed and a reseal won't hold. We inspect both during the visit and tell you plainly whether a repair will hold or whether replacement is the better long-term fix.
Read moreHow long does a skylight replacement take?
Most skylight replacements are a single-day job, since the removal, new flashing, and reinstall happen back to back. Larger units or roofs needing extra decking work around the opening can take a bit longer.
Read moreWill a new skylight leak in the same spot?
Not if the flashing kit and glazing seal are properly matched to the new unit and the opening. We size and seal the new flashing during install and water-test it before finishing the job, so the seams that failed on the old unit aren't repeated.
Read moreCan a skylight leak be repaired without replacing the whole unit?
Often, yes. If the flashing kit has failed but the glass and frame are still sound, reflashing the curb solves the leak without replacing the skylight. We only recommend replacement when the glazing seal has also failed or the unit is old enough that a repair won't hold.
Read moreHow can I tell if the leak is coming from the skylight or somewhere else on the roof?
Water runs down the roof decking before it drips through the ceiling, so a stain near a skylight isn't proof the skylight is the source. We trace the path from the stain up through the attic and across the roof to confirm where water is actually entering.
Read moreHow long does a skylight leak repair take?
Most flashing or seal repairs are finished in a single visit, typically a couple of hours depending on how the skylight was originally installed. If decking around the opening needs attention, it can take longer.
Read moreRoof Replacement
What does a roof replacement cost?
The honest answer is that cost varies quite a bit depending on your roof's size, pitch, and the materials you choose. A steeper pitch takes longer and requires more safety setup, which affects labor. Architectural shingles and standing-seam metal carry different price points. The condition of the decking underneath also matters: if we find rot or damage once the old roof is off, replacing those boards adds to the total. The best way to get a real number is to let us come out and look. We'll give you a written estimate with no pressure and no runaround. As a general note, late winter and early spring tend to be slower periods for most roofing contractors, so you may find more scheduling flexibility then, though the final cost is driven far more by your specific roof than by the time of year.
Read moreHow long does an asphalt shingle roof replacement take?
Most homes are done in one to three days depending on roof size and weather. We give you a clear timeline before the crew starts and keep you posted along the way.
Read moreHow do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
It depends on how widespread the wear is. If curling, cracking, or granule loss shows up across most of the roof rather than in one spot, replacement usually makes more sense than chasing repairs one section at a time; if the rest of the roof is still sound, a repair can solve an isolated problem.
Read moreWhat affects how long an asphalt roof lasts?
Sun exposure, attic ventilation, and storm history all play a role. Roofs with poor attic ventilation age faster because heat works on the shingles from underneath, while a well-ventilated attic and a roof that hasn't taken storm damage will hold up longer.
Read moreIs a metal roof worth it over asphalt shingles?
It depends on what you're trying to solve. If hail and wind damage keep sending you back to repairs, metal's resistance to bruising and its ability to shed wind-driven rain make it a strong long-term option, though it's a bigger investment up front than another shingle roof.
Read moreHow long does a metal roof replacement take?
It typically takes longer than an asphalt shingle replacement because of the panel work and the flashing details at every edge and penetration, though exact timing depends on roof size and the system chosen. We give you a clear timeline before the crew starts.
Read moreDo I need to replace the decking when switching to metal?
Only where it's needed. We check the decking during tear-off and replace any boards that have gone soft or rotted, but sound decking under the old roof usually carries over to the new one.
Read moreRoof Repair
How much does it cost to fix a roof leak?
Repair costs vary based on what's causing the leak, where it is on the roof, and what materials are needed to fix it. A simple shingle replacement or pipe boot reseal is a straightforward job with minimal materials. Flashing replacement around a chimney or skylight is more involved because the surrounding shingles often need to come up as well. Repairs that reveal soft or rotted decking underneath add material and labor to the total. The only way to give you an accurate number is to see the roof, which is why we offer free estimates. What we can say with confidence is that repairing a leak now is almost always significantly less expensive than dealing with the water damage that comes from ignoring it.
Read moreHow fast can a small roof leak turn into a bigger problem?
Faster than most homeowners expect, because water that finds one gap keeps using it every time it rains. What starts as a single stained ceiling tile can spread into soaked insulation, softened decking, and mold in the attic within a few storm cycles if the entry point is not sealed.
Read moreDo you need to replace the whole roof to fix a leak?
No, most leaks are fixed with a targeted repair at the shingle, flashing, or valley where the water is getting in. A full replacement only makes sense when the roof is showing widespread wear on top of the leak, and we will tell you plainly if that is the case.
Read moreWill you check the attic, not just the roof surface?
Yes, tracing a leak means checking both sides. The attic shows us the wet path and how far the water has traveled, and the roof surface shows us where it got in, so we check both before we recommend anything.
Read moreWhy does caulk alone not fix a chimney leak?
Caulk only bridges the gap, it does not replace the flashing that is supposed to shed water in the first place. The chimney and the roof deck move independently, so caulk cracks again within a season or two while properly reset step and counter-flashing holds much longer.
Read moreCan a leaking skylight be fixed instead of replaced?
Sometimes, but older skylights often have both a worn flashing kit and a failed glazing seal at the same time, and replacing the unit along with the flashing kit tends to be the more lasting fix. We inspect both before recommending one or the other.
Read moreHow do you find a flashing leak that is not obvious?
We inspect every flashing line and penetration on the roof, then check the attic side underneath the suspect areas for staining. If the source is still unclear, we water-test the specific joint to confirm exactly where it is getting in.
Read moreCan you match new shingles to an existing roof?
We do our best to match the existing shingle style and color as closely as possible for a spot repair, though some color variation is normal since shingles weather and fade over time. If matching becomes difficult across a large area, we will let you know before starting the work.
Read moreIs a spot repair enough, or does the whole roof need attention?
It depends on how widespread the seal failure is. A few isolated missing shingles are a straightforward repair, but if lifting and creasing show up across most of a slope, that usually points to an aging roof where a repair is only a short-term fix.
Read moreHow long does missing shingle repair take?
Most spot repairs are handled in a single visit once the damaged area is identified and the shingles are on hand to match. The exact time depends on how much of the roof needs attention.
Read moreStorm & Hail Damage
Can hail damage be completely repaired?
Yes, in most cases. When hail damage is caught promptly and the affected area is repaired or replaced with quality materials, your roof can be fully restored to its pre-storm condition. The extent of the repair depends on how large the hail was, how long the storm lasted, and how old the roof is. A newer roof that catches a bad storm may need only a section replaced. An older roof with widespread impact damage may be a better candidate for full replacement, both structurally and from an insurance standpoint. We'll look at your specific situation and give you a straight answer.
Read moreIs it worth getting hail damage repaired?
If the damage is real, absolutely. Beyond protecting your home from water intrusion, a documented and repaired roof maintains your home's value and keeps your homeowner's insurance policy in good standing. Some insurers will non-renew a policy if a damaged roof is left unaddressed. If the repair or replacement is covered by your claim, the out-of-pocket cost is often manageable. And even when it isn't fully covered, fixing hail damage promptly is less expensive than dealing with interior water damage months later.
Read moreHow do I know if my roof actually has hail damage?
The only reliable way is a close inspection of each slope, since hail bruises shingles in ways that are hard to see from the ground. Dents in gutters, vents, or an outdoor AC unit are a good early clue that it is worth having the roof looked at.
Read moreDoes hail damage always mean a full roof replacement?
Not always. Isolated bruising in a small area can sometimes be repaired, but widespread bruising across most of the roof, especially on an older roof, more often points toward replacement, and we will tell you which situation you are in after the inspection.
Read moreWill you help with my insurance claim for hail damage?
Yes, we document the damage with photos and test squares during the inspection and walk you through what to expect from an adjuster meeting. That documentation is the foundation of a claim, whether the outcome is a repair or a replacement.
Read moreHow do I know if my roof has wind damage or just normal wear?
The clearest sign is a crease or a shingle that's lifted along one edge rather than worn evenly across the whole roof. Even wear from age shows up as bald or curling shingles spread out uniformly, while wind damage tends to cluster at edges, ridges, and corners. If you're not sure, an inspection settles it quickly.
Read moreDoes homeowners insurance usually cover wind damage repair?
Wind damage is commonly covered under standard homeowner policies, though every policy and every claim is different. We document the damage with photos so you have what's needed if you decide to file, and we can talk through what the adjuster process typically looks like.
Read moreWhat drives the cost of wind damage repair up or down?
The biggest factors are how many shingles are affected, whether the ridge cap needs replacing, and whether the damage is contained to one slope or spread across the roof. A handful of creased shingles is a much smaller job than a roof where the seals have failed broadly.
Read moreHow does the roof insurance claim process actually work?
It starts with a documented inspection, moves to getting an adjuster out to see the damage in person, and ends with the approved repair or replacement getting done. We handle the inspection, the documentation, and the repair; you decide whether to file and work with your insurer on the claim itself.
Read moreDo I need a contractor with me when the adjuster comes out?
It helps to have someone who inspected the roof already walk the adjuster through what was found. We can go over the documentation with you ahead of time so you know what to point out and what questions to expect.

Read moreDo I need a new roof or just a repair after hail in Moore?

Read moreFrom our guides
How much roof ventilation does a house actually need?
A commonly used guideline is roughly one square foot of vent area for every 150 square feet of attic floor space, split between intake at the eaves and exhaust near the ridge. The exact number depends on attic design and whether a vapor barrier is present.
Read moreWhat are the signs of poor attic ventilation?
Common signs include a noticeably hot attic in summer, ice buildup or dark staining on the roof deck in winter, and higher than expected cooling bills. A musty smell in the attic can also point to trapped moisture from inadequate airflow.
Read moreDoes poor ventilation shorten a roof's lifespan?
Yes, trapped heat and moisture in an attic can bake shingles from underneath and encourage rot in the decking over time. A well-ventilated attic helps the roofing material age the way it's designed to.
Read moreWhat's the difference between ridge vents and soffit vents?
Soffit vents pull cooler outside air in at the eaves, while ridge vents let hot, moist air escape at the peak, and the two work together as a system. Having one without the other usually means the airflow doesn't work as intended.
Read moreCan too much ventilation be a problem?
It's less common than too little, but an imbalanced system, like too much exhaust and not enough intake, can actually pull conditioned air out of the living space instead of just venting the attic. Balance between intake and exhaust matters more than raw vent count.
Read moreHow long does a roof warranty typically last?
Manufacturer material warranties commonly range from 25 years to a lifetime term depending on the shingle line, while workmanship warranties from the installing contractor vary by company. The two are separate documents covering different things, so it's worth knowing which one applies to which problem.
Read moreWhat's the difference between a manufacturer warranty and a workmanship warranty?
A manufacturer warranty covers defects in the shingles or materials themselves, while a workmanship warranty covers mistakes made during installation, like a poorly sealed flashing detail. If a leak comes from bad installation rather than a bad shingle, the workmanship warranty is the one that applies.
Read moreDoes a roof warranty transfer to a new homeowner?
Many manufacturer warranties are transferable to a new owner within a limited window after the sale, though terms vary by manufacturer. Workmanship warranties from the original contractor may or may not transfer, so it's worth asking the roofer directly.
Read moreCan a roof warranty be voided?
Yes, warranties can be voided by improper installation, using unapproved materials or ventilation setups, or by skipping required maintenance. Keeping documentation of any repairs or inspections helps protect your claim if you ever need to use the warranty.
Read moreDoes a roof warranty cover storm damage?
Typically no, manufacturer and workmanship warranties cover defects and installation errors, not damage from hail, wind, or falling debris. Storm damage is usually handled through a homeowner's insurance policy instead.
