FAQs
What signs tell me I need a full roof replacement instead of another repair?
Persistent leaks, shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing in multiple areas, large amounts of granule loss in gutters, sagging roof decking, or a roof that is 20–25 years old usually mean repairs will only be a temporary fix. If more than 30 % of your roof surface is damaged or the underlying plywood is soft, a complete replacement is the most cost-effective, long-term solution. Honest Assessments Roofing provides a free, no-obligation inspection that pinpoints the exact condition of your roof so you can decide with confidence.
How does Strawberry Plains’ weather affect the type of roofing material I should choose?
Strawberry Plains sees hot, humid summers, heavy rain and wind from thunderstorms, the occasional hail event, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Asphalt architectural shingles rated for high wind and impact resistance are a popular, budget-friendly choice, while standing-seam metal offers superior durability and reflects heat to lower cooling costs. Proper attic ventilation and high-temperature ice-and-water shield are critical here to combat moisture and ice dams. During your consultation we’ll explain the pros and cons of each material for our local climate and your budget.
What is the step-by-step roof replacement process with Honest Assessments Roofing?
1) Detailed inspection and written assessment with photos. 2) Material selection, color match, and a fixed-price proposal. 3) Permit application and scheduling around weather. 4) Complete tear-off of old shingles, underlayment, and flashing. 5) Decking inspection; any damaged wood is replaced. 6) Installation of ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, new flashing, and ventilation upgrades. 7) Shingle or metal panel installation following manufacturer specs. 8) Magnetic nail sweep, debris haul-off, and final quality checklist. 9) Walkthrough with you to verify satisfaction and provide warranty documents.
How long will my roof replacement take and will I have to leave my home?
Most single-family homes of 2,000 sq ft or less are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger or complex roofs may take three to four days. You can stay in your home; however, there will be significant noise and vibrations during tear-off and nailing. We advise removing fragile wall hangings and keeping pets in a quiet room or with a friend. Our crew protects landscaping, keeps driveways clear after hours, and does a thorough cleanup each day.
What kind of warranties and workmanship guarantees do you offer?
You receive both a manufacturer’s material warranty—typically 30- to 50-year limited lifetime on premium asphalt shingles or 40+ years on metal—and our own 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers installation-related issues such as leaks or flashing failure. Because we are certified by leading manufacturers, we can register enhanced, non-prorated coverage that many roofers cannot provide.
How can I pay for a roof replacement and will my homeowner’s insurance cover any of it?
If your roof was damaged by a covered peril such as wind or hail, your insurance may pay all or part of the replacement cost minus your deductible. We document storm damage, meet with the adjuster, and handle the paperwork to maximize your claim. For non-insured projects, we offer several financing options, including 0 % promotional plans and low-interest terms up to 144 months, so you can spread the cost out comfortably. We never require full payment until the job is complete and you are satisfied.
