  • What types of roofing services do you offer?

    Our company provides a comprehensive range of roofing services for residential and commercial properties. This includes the installation, repair, and replacement of shingle, flat, metal, and rubber roofing systems.

  • How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?

    Several indicators may suggest the need for roof replacement, such as missing shingles, persistent leaks, visible sagging, or the necessity for frequent repairs. Our company offers complimentary inspections to accurately evaluate your roof's condition and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

  • How long does a roof replacement typically take?

    The duration of a roof replacement project typically ranges from one to three days for most residential properties. This timeframe can vary based on the roof's size and complexity. Metal and rubber roofing installations may require additional time to complete.

  • What warranties do you offer on your roofing work?

    Our company provides comprehensive warranty coverage for our roofing services. This includes manufacturer warranties on all roofing materials used, as well as a workmanship warranty to ensure the longevity and quality of our installation or repair work.

  • Do you offer financing options for roof replacements?

    We understand the financial considerations involved in roof replacements. To assist our customers, we have established partnerships with financing institutions to provide flexible payment plans, making our roofing services more accessible and affordable.

  • What are the benefits of a metal roof compared to shingles?

    Metal roofing offers superior longevity, lasting between 40 to 70 years, and provides excellent durability and energy efficiency. However, it does come with a higher initial cost. Shingle roofing, while more affordable and versatile, typically has a shorter lifespan.

  • Is a rubber roof a good option for my home or business?

    Rubber (EPDM) roofing is an ideal solution for structures with flat or low-slope roofs. This roofing material offers exceptional durability, resistance to weather elements, and requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical choice for many residential and commercial applications.

  • How do I maintain my flat roof to extend its lifespan?

    To maximize the longevity of a flat roof, we recommend conducting regular inspections, ensuring proper drainage by keeping gutters and drains clear, and applying protective coatings as needed. These preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of leaks and extend the roof's serviceable life.

  • How does central Pennsylvania's weather affect my roof?

    The central Pennsylvania climate, characterized by heavy snowfall, frequent rain, and occasional severe storms, can significantly impact roofing systems. These weather conditions may lead to leaks, ice dam formation, and general wear. We advise scheduling professional inspections before the onset of winter and storm seasons to mitigate potential issues.

  • How often should I have my roof inspected?

    Our professional recommendation is to schedule a thorough roof inspection at least once annually. Optimal timing for these inspections is typically during the spring or fall seasons, as this allows for the early detection and resolution of potential roofing issues.
