Common Residential Roofing Questions
How often should I replace my roof?
On average, a well-maintained roof should last around 20–30 years, depending on the materials used. Asphalt shingles tend to last 20–25 years, while metal or tile roofs can last 50 years or more. Keep an eye out for cracks, curling shingles, and leaks—these may be signs it’s time for an update.
Can missing shingles be replaced or will I need a whole new roof?
Good news—missing shingles don’t automatically mean you need an entirely new roof. It often depends on the condition of the surrounding shingles, but our team can replace singular missing or damaged pieces. We’ll always recommend what’s best for your roof’s longevity (not suggest unnecessary replacements!).
What is the cost of a residential roof repair?
The cost varies depending on the damage and materials involved, but we pride ourselves on transparency. After your free inspection, we’ll provide an upfront, detailed estimate, so there are no surprises.

Common Solar Questions
Can I add solar panels to my existing roof?
Absolutely! Solar panels can be installed on most roofs, provided that the structure is in good condition and the space gets adequate sunlight. If your roof needs attention, we can tackle that too before installing your solar panels.
How much money can I save with solar panels?
The savings depend on factors like your energy usage and local rates, but many homeowners see a significant decrease in their monthly utility bills. Over time, solar panels often pay for themselves, making them a great long-term investment.
What is the lifespan of a solar roofing system?
Most solar panel systems last 25–30 years when properly installed and maintained. While the panels themselves are durable, routine maintenance ensures the system keeps performing at its best.
