FAQs
Why do I need a detailed roof inspection before considering a replacement?
A thorough inspection provides a clear picture of your roof’s current condition, identifies hidden damage (such as moisture intrusion, deck rot, or shingle failure), and helps determine whether repairs or a full replacement are the most cost-effective solution. In Cosby’s variable climate, undetected problems can quickly worsen, so starting with a detailed inspection ensures you invest only in the work you truly need and receive an accurate estimate for both scope and cost.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection in Cosby include?
Our certified technician examines all roofing components: shingles/tiles/metal panels, flashing, vents, valleys, chimney caps, decking, attic ventilation, and insulation. We use moisture meters and, when necessary, drone or thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks. You receive a photographic report, a written condition summary, life-expectancy estimate, and a prioritized list of recommended actions—whether that’s maintenance, repair, or full replacement.
How long does a typical roof replacement take once the inspection is complete?
Most single-family homes in Cosby can be completed in 1–3 days, weather permitting. Day 1 is usually tear-off and deck repair; Day 2 covers underlayment, flashing, and the majority of new roofing installation; Day 3 (if needed) finalizes detailing, cleanup, and a post-installation inspection. Larger or more complex roofs (multiple dormers, steep slopes, specialty materials) may extend to 4–5 days, but we provide a precise timeline in your proposal.
What roof materials do you offer for replacement in Cosby and which is best for my home?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, designer composite, and specialty impact-resistant options. Asphalt shingles remain the most budget-friendly and come with 25- to 50-year warranties. Metal roofs offer superior longevity (40-70 years), excellent energy efficiency, and suit Cosby’s heavy rain and occasional snow. Designer composites replicate slate or cedar aesthetics without the weight. The “best” choice depends on your budget, aesthetic goals, HOA rules, and how long you plan to stay in the home—our inspection report includes side-by-side comparisons to help you decide.
How much will a roof replacement cost and do you offer financing or insurance claim assistance?
Roof replacement costs in Cosby typically range from $4.75 to $8.50 per square foot for architectural shingles and $9.50 to $14.00 for standing-seam metal. Exact pricing depends on roof size, pitch, layers to remove, and selected materials. We provide fixed, itemized quotes so there are no surprises. Flexible financing is available with low-monthly-payment plans, and if storm damage is present, we’ll document it for your insurance carrier, meet with the adjuster on site, and handle all paperwork to maximize your claim.
Will I need to leave my home during the roof replacement and how do you protect my property?
You can remain in your home—most of the disruption is exterior noise. For safety, we ask that pets and children stay indoors while work is underway. We protect landscaping and siding with reinforced tarps, use magnetic rollers to collect nails each day, and perform a final walk-through with you to ensure your yard, gutters, and driveways are spotless. All debris is hauled away the same day the job is completed.
