FAQs
What sets your “Time-Tested Craftsmanship Roofing” apart from other roofers in Duff?
Our team combines three generations of local roofing experience with modern installation techniques. Every crew member is factory-trained, follows NRCA guidelines, and uses a 42-point quality checklist that is signed off by both the foreman and the homeowner. This disciplined approach eliminates shortcuts, ensures code compliance, and consistently delivers roofs that outlast the manufacturer’s published life expectancy.
How do you ensure quality and durability in your roofing projects?
We start with a detailed attic and deck inspection to locate hidden moisture or structural issues. Decking is renailed or replaced as needed, underlayment seams are heat-sealed, and all flashings are custom-fabricated on-site from 26-gauge galvanized steel. Every fastener is stainless or hot-dipped galvanized, and we use six nails per shingle—20 % more than code requires. A final infrared scan confirms a completely watertight system before we issue the completion certificate.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Duff’s climate, and why?
Duff experiences wide temperature swings and occasional high-wind events. We typically recommend impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles or standing-seam metal. Architectural shingles resist 130 mph winds and carry Class 4 hail ratings, offering excellent value for most homeowners. Standing-seam metal sheds snow easily, reflects summer heat, and can last 50 + years with minimal upkeep. During your consultation we evaluate roof pitch, budget, and aesthetic goals to suggest the best option.
How long does a typical roof installation or replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Duff are completed in one to two days, including tear-off, decking repairs, and full clean-up. Larger or more complex roofs—those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or valleys—may take up to four days. We provide a precise timeline before work begins and keep you updated daily, so there are no surprises.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you offer warranties?
Yes. We hold an active Duff General Contractor’s Roofing License, carry $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintain full workers’ compensation insurance on every employee. All labor is warranted for 10 years, and because we are certified by Owens Corning and CertainTeed, you receive their 50-year non-prorated material warranty, automatically registered at project completion.
What maintenance steps should Duff homeowners take after installation to maximize roof life?
Schedule a free visual inspection every 24 months so we can spot minor sealant failures or wind-lifted shingles before they cause leaks. Keep gutters clear of leaves each spring and fall to prevent ice dams. Trim back branches at least 6 feet from the roof to reduce abrasion and moss growth. If you notice missing granules, interior stains, or hail impact, call us immediately; prompt repairs preserve your warranty and keep your roof performing like new.
