Repair or Replace?

Roof Replacement FAQs

How long does a replacement take?

Most single-family homes are finished in one day, including cleanup. Complex roofs can take longer.

Do you protect landscaping and siding?

Yes—tarps, plywood, and careful staging minimize impact. We magnet-sweep the property at the end.

Can you match my current shingle color?

We’ll bring color options and help you choose a close match or an updated look.

What about ventilation?

We evaluate intake and exhaust during the estimate and adjust to meet state building code.
