Roofing FAQ

Roofing FAQ

How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

If you’re seeing leaks, missing shingles, or sagging areas, it’s time for an inspection. We’ll assess the condition and recommend the most cost-effective option—no pressure, just honest advice.

How long does a roof replacement usually take?

Most residential roofs can be completed in just 1 to 2 days. We’ll give you a clear schedule upfront and keep you informed every step of the way.

Will the project disrupt my daily life?

We work hard to minimize noise and mess. Our crew is respectful and efficient and always cleans up thoroughly before leaving your property each day.

What types of roofing materials do you offer?

We offer a range of high-quality options, including asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and rubber roofing—chosen for durability, curb appeal, and long-term protection.

Is my roof installation covered by a warranty?

Yes! All new roofs come with both a manufacturer’s warranty on materials and a workmanship guarantee from us. You’ll have peace of mind long after the project is complete.

What’s the most popular roof type for homes?

Asphalt shingles are the most common due to their affordability, durability, and range of styles and colors. They’re a solid choice for most residential homes.

Are architectural shingles worth the upgrade?

Yes—architectural shingles offer better durability, wind resistance, and a dimensional look that adds curb appeal. They also tend to last longer than basic 3-tab shingles.

What’s the benefit of rubber roofing?

Rubber roofing is ideal for flat or low-slope areas like porches or additions. It’s waterproof, long-lasting, and low maintenance—perfect for New England weather.

How do I choose the right roofing material for my home?

It depends on your budget, home style, and how long you plan to stay in the home. We’ll walk you through the options and help you choose what fits best.

Do roof colors matter beyond looks?

Yes—darker colors absorb more heat, which can affect your home’s energy use. We help homeowners pick colors that not only match their home but also support energy efficiency.

Why are gutters so important for my roof and home?

Gutters direct water away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping. Without them, water can cause serious damage over time—including basement leaks and erosion.

How do I know if my gutters need to be replaced?

Signs include sagging sections, rust, water pooling near your foundation, or visible cracks and holes. We offer free inspections to let you know what’s needed.

What types of gutters do you install?

We install seamless aluminum gutters, which are durable, low-maintenance, and custom-fit to your home for optimal performance and appearance.

Do I really need gutter guards?

If your home is near trees, absolutely. Gutter guards reduce clogs, minimize maintenance, and keep water flowing where it should—especially during storms.

How long does gutter installation take?

Most gutter installations are completed in a single day. We’ll schedule around your availability and ensure your property is left spotless.
