Question 1

How do I know if my roof needs replacement instead of repair?

Architectural asphalt shingles and standing-seam metal both perform well; we recommend based on your home's structure, exposure, and goals.

Most residential roofs in one day; larger or complex roofs up to two — timelines always communicated clearly.

Accepted Answer

Failing flashing, poor ventilation, loose or missing shingles, ice dams, or storm impact — we fix the root cause.
