Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If damage is isolated and the roof is less than 15 years old, repair is usually best. If the roof is old with widespread issues, replacement is more cost-effective.
Can I repair my own roof?
Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles are possible for handy homeowners, but most repairs should be left to professionals for safety and warranty reasons.
