FAQs
What makes your “top-tier materials” roofing different from a standard roof replacement in Deer Lodge?
Our premium offering centers on impact-rated shingles, high-grade metal panels, synthetic underlayments, and corrosion-resistant fasteners that outperform builder-grade products. These materials carry higher wind, hail, and UV ratings—critical in Deer Lodge where freeze–thaw cycles, summer sun, and occasional hailstorms quickly age lesser roofs. We pair these superior components with factory-certified installation methods, giving you a roof that lasts 10-15 years longer and yields better energy efficiency than a basic replacement.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for the Deer Lodge climate, and why?
We typically recommend Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt shingles or 24-gauge standing-seam steel. Class 4 shingles absorb hail hits without granule loss, and their algae-resistant surface keeps the roof looking new. Steel excels in our heavy-snow winters: panels shed snow easily, resist ice damming when paired with proper ventilation, and are coated to prevent rust from the region’s spring moisture. Both options come with color choices that meet local HOA and historic-district guidelines.
How long does a complete roof replacement take on an average Deer Lodge home?
For a 2,000–2,500 sq ft roof with normal pitch, tear-off and installation usually take two to three working days when weather cooperates. A larger or very steep roof can add an extra day. Before we begin, we schedule a one-hour pre-project walkthrough, secure any needed permits, and order dumpsters so work can start promptly at 7 a.m. on day one. We never leave the deck exposed overnight; if skies threaten rain, we tarp the structure and resume once conditions are safe.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover a roof replacement that uses premium materials?
If your roof was damaged by a covered peril—hail, wind, or fallen trees—most insurers pay for replacement to “like kind and quality.” When we write the estimate in Xactimate, we document that the existing roof was a high-quality system, then negotiate with the adjuster to include impact-rated shingles, ice-and-water shield, and ventilation upgrades. You are responsible only for your deductible and any elective cosmetic upgrades (e.g., designer colors or standing-seam metal instead of shingles). We manage all paperwork and meet the adjuster on-site at no cost.
What warranties do you provide on both materials and workmanship?
Top-tier shingles and metal panels come with manufacturer lifetime limited warranties—50 years non-prorated on materials and 130 mph wind coverage for shingles; 40 years paint integrity and 30 years fade resistance for metal. Because we’re factory-certified, the manufacturer backs our labor on warranted repairs for 25 years. In addition, our own workmanship warranty covers leak-related labor and interior damages for 10 years, transferable once if you sell your home.
How should I prepare my property before your crew arrives?
1) Move vehicles out of the driveway and clear a 15-foot perimeter around the house so we can position dump trailers and material pallets. 2) Take down fragile outdoor décor, hanging plants, and solar lights; vibrations can dislodge them. 3) Inside, remove valuables from walls and upper-floor shelves—hammering may shake the framing. 4) Mow the lawn the day before; short grass helps our magnetic sweepers retrieve nails. 5) Keep pets and children indoors or off-site during working hours for safety. We’ll protect landscaping with plywood and tarps and perform a full cleanup at completion.
