Questions we get asked, answered straight.

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.

The shingle lines we install most are CertainTeed Landmark, Owens Corning Duration and GAF Timberline HDZ, and we will walk you through the one that fits your home, your budget, and your curb appeal.

Yes. Our workmanship warranty is 5 years, in writing, on top of the manufacturer warranty on materials. It covers leaks or defects from our installation, and it transfers to the next owner if you sell. If something is not right, we come back and make it right.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cost depends mostly on the size of your roof, the pitch, the materials you choose, and how much of the old roof needs to come off before we start. We walk every Moore homeowner through those factors and give a clear estimate before any work begins.

It depends on how deep the hail hit and how much of the roof it covered. A few bruised shingles in one spot is usually a repair, but widespread granule loss or cracked mats across the roof often means replacement makes more sense, and we'll tell you which one your roof actually needs.

Most homes are done in one to three days depending on the size of the roof and the weather that week. We give you a clear timeline up front and keep you posted if anything changes.

Architectural shingles and standing-seam metal are the most common choices we install. We'll walk you through what fits your home, your budget, and your preference on look.

Yes, we assess storm damage and help you document it thoroughly for your insurer. We won't offer to pay any part of your deductible, since Oklahoma law prohibits that and it can jeopardize your claim.

Yes, every job comes with a written workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty on materials. If something isn't right after the job's done, we come back and fix it.

Architectural shingles and standing-seam metal are the most common materials we install. We'll walk you through what fits your home's age, your budget, and how you want it to look.

Most homes are finished in one to three days depending on the size of the roof and the weather that week. We give you a clear timeline before work starts and keep you updated along the way.

It depends on how deep the hail hit and how much of the roof is affected. Given the size hail has reached in this area, we check carefully for cracked mats and heavy granule loss, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.

Yes, we assess the damage and help you document it thoroughly for your insurer. We won't offer to cover any part of your deductible, since Oklahoma law prohibits that and it can put your claim at risk.

Most Noble homes are done in one to three days depending on roof size and weather. We walk you through a clear timeline before work starts and keep you posted as the job moves along.

Cost depends on the size of the roof, the pitch, how easy it is to access, and the materials you choose. We give a straight, itemized estimate up front so you know what's driving the number before any work begins.

Most homes finish in one to three days depending on the size of the roof and the weather that week. We set a clear timeline before starting and keep you updated as the crew works.

Architectural shingles and standing-seam metal are the most common choices in this part of Oklahoma. We'll go over which fits your home's style, your budget, and how it'll hold up here.

Most Tuttle homes are finished in one to three days, depending on the size and pitch of the roof and the weather. We give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you posted throughout.

It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. A roof with isolated leaks or a few damaged shingles is usually a repair, while a roof that's older, has widespread granule loss, or has taken repeated storm damage is often better off replaced.

Most homes take one to three days depending on the size of the roof and the weather that week. We lay out a clear timeline before work starts and keep you updated along the way.

Architectural shingles and standing-seam metal are the most common options here. We'll walk through which one fits your home, your budget, and how it looks from the street.

Most Choctaw homes are finished in one to three days depending on roof size and the weather that week. We give you a clear timeline up front and keep you posted as the work moves along.

Yes, every job comes with a written workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty on materials. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right.

Start with granules, shingle pieces, and any small dents in soft metal like vent covers or window screens. Granules collecting at the base of a downspout or in the yard often mean the shingles up top took a beating, even if you can't see it from the ground.

Look for gutters pulled away from the fascia, dents along the top edge, and downspouts that are bent, crimped, or disconnected at a joint. Run a hose through a section if you're unsure. Standing water or overflow at a seam usually points to a clog or a new dent.

Walking the yard and using binoculars from the ground is safe and is exactly how most homeowners should start. Climbing onto a wet roof, a roof with hidden soft spots, or one with downed lines nearby is not worth the risk, so leave the close-up look to someone experienced.

Either order can work, but having a roofer's documentation in hand before you file often makes the claims conversation smoother. A written assessment with photos gives the adjuster something concrete to review alongside whatever you report yourself.

Sooner is better, especially if you saw granules, dented metal, or any sign of water inside the house. Damage that looks minor on day one can let moisture in over the following weeks, so a prompt look limits how far a small problem spreads.

It depends on the roofer, but a 5-year workmanship warranty, like the one we offer, is a solid middle ground for the industry. Some contractors offer shorter terms or none at all, so it's worth asking before you sign anything.

No, a workmanship warranty covers defects in how the roof was installed, not damage from weather events. Storm and hail damage is typically handled through your homeowner's insurance policy instead.

A workmanship warranty covers the labor and install quality, while a manufacturer warranty covers defects in the shingles or materials themselves. We cover more of this split in our post on [manufacturer vs workmanship warranty coverage](/blog/manufacturer-warranty-vs-workmanship-warranty-who-covers-what).

Yes, in our case the 5-year workmanship warranty transfers to the next owner if you sell the home. That's a detail worth mentioning to a buyer or their inspector during a sale.

Letting another contractor make repairs or modifications to the roof is the most common way to void coverage. Skipping basic maintenance or ignoring an obvious leak for months can also complicate a claim.
